A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Beekman Townhouse would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Beekman Townhouse is the Emery Roth & Sons entry in Lenox Hill's postwar condominium stock — a white-brick apartment building between Third and Lexington Avenues, designed by the successor firm to the architect of the Beresford and the San Remo, and later converted to condominium ownership. That lineage is the building's quiet distinction: while the postwar Roth & Sons work is a world away from Emery Roth's Central Park West trophies, the name still carries a measure of pedigree that the corridor's anonymous postwar towers cannot claim, and the building's slightly-higher-than-standard ceilings and duplex units reflect a design hand above the builder-grade norm.
Beyond the architecture, Beekman Townhouse is a full-service condominium with the amenity that Lenox Hill buyers most often want and most rarely find at this price: an attached parking garage with direct lobby access, alongside a doorman, a landscaped roof deck, and a garden. It trades as accessible, well-located full-service condominium stock — condominium flexibility, a real amenity set, and a mid-block address steps from the avenues.
For buyers, the appeal is a doorman-and-garage condominium with a design pedigree and a roof deck, at a Lenox Hill address that keeps per-foot pricing reasonable.
Architecture and unit composition
The building is postwar white-to-light-beige brick, its lobby recently renovated in a classical register, rising 19 to 20 stories. The roughly 157 residences run from studios through three-bedrooms — predominantly one-bedrooms — with some duplex layouts and ceilings a touch higher than the postwar standard; some units carry private balconies. Sources differ modestly on the year built, floor count, unit total, and conversion year, and the offering plan controls on any specific apartment. Because the building is a condominium, apartments are valued on a per-square-foot basis.
Building operations
Beekman Townhouse runs as a full-service condominium: a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, an attached parking garage with direct lobby access, central laundry, bike storage, private storage, a landscaped roof deck, and a garden. There is no gym or pool on record; washer/dryer installation is permitted with board approval. The offering plan, house rules, and financial statements are held in The Roebling Research Library and available to clients during diligence.

Recent sales
The building's resale market is a value-and-amenity market with a design footnote. Buyers reach it wanting a doorman-and-garage condominium in prime Lenox Hill at reasonable pricing, and the Emery Roth & Sons name, the roof deck, and the balconies on select lines give it edges over the corridor's plainer postwar stock. Balconied and high-floor units command the premium; interior and lower-floor inventory trades closer to the neighborhood average. The pet rule — pets permitted for owners, dogs reportedly restricted for renters — is a screening item to confirm early.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,316/sf (floor-adjusted) across 7 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 3.9% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Value the garage and the roof deck. An attached garage with direct lobby access is a genuine convenience premium in Lenox Hill, and the landscaped roof deck and garden add usable outdoor amenity. Both support resale.
Confirm the pet rule and alteration policy. Pets are permitted for owners, with dogs reportedly restricted for renters, and washer/dryer installation requires board approval — verify both against the house rules before offering.
Condominium flexibility applies. No co-op-style board approval, and pied-à-terre and sublet use are permitted under the declaration. Confirm any transfer fee at contract. Run the True Monthly Carrying Cost Calculator and the Buyer Closing Cost Calculator.
Price to the line and the balcony. Balconied and high-floor lines carry premiums the average hides. Use same-line comparables.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the pedigree and the garage. The Emery Roth & Sons name and the attached garage are documented, differentiating assets — use them to separate the building from the corridor's anonymous postwar stock.
Sell the roof deck and the balconies. The landscaped roof deck and the private balconies on select lines are the outdoor-amenity story; market them.
Anchor to the line. Balconied and high-floor lines carry premiums the average obscures. Same-line history — which we maintain — is the right anchor.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
