Presenting an exceptional opportunity to create a truly bespoke trophy residence at The Southgate, the iconic Bing & Bing cooperative designed by renowned architect Emery Roth. Combining residences 10E and 10F offers the opportunity to create an expansive approximately 2,236+ square foot home featuring three bedrooms, three bathrooms, gracious entertaining spaces, and timeless pre-war architecture.

From the moment you enter, a grand gallery welcomes you into a residence thoughtfully designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. At its heart is a spectacular double height sunken living room, where soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and a magnificent wood burning fireplace create one of the home's most memorable spaces. Custom arched built-ins extending toward the ceiling, complemented by a movable library ladder and beautiful Art Deco sconces, showcase the architectural craftsmanship that defines this remarkable residence.

Flowing seamlessly from the living room is an expansive formal dining room capable of hosting intimate dinners or large gatherings with ease. Adjacent is a beautifully designed chef's kitchen with a generous center island, abundant custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and exceptional workspace, creating a natural gathering place for family and guests alike.

The intelligently designed layout provides an ideal balance between entertaining and private living. The luxurious primary suite serves as its own private retreat with a spacious dressing area and elegant en suite bath. Two additional oversized bedrooms, each positioned for privacy, are complemented by two additional full bathrooms, offering flexibility for guests, family members, or dedicated home office space.

The floor plan also incorporates a dedicated laundry room, generous closet space throughout, and an inviting gallery hallway that enhances the home's gracious flow while maximizing separation between the entertaining and bedroom wings.

Natural light pours into nearly every room through oversized windows, highlighting the home's classic prewar proportions while offering endless opportunities to customize every finish to suit your own vision.

Steeped in New York history, John Lennon famously lived just above this residence during his celebrated Lost Weekend period. The surrounding enclave of Beekman Place has long attracted an extraordinary collection of notable residents, including John D. Rockefeller and Aristotle Onassis, all drawn to its timeless architecture, privacy, and enduring elegance.
