Once the home of literary legends F. Scott Fitzgerald and Dorothy Parker, this storied residence offers nearly 3,000 square feet of interior space and an extraordinary 1,400-square-foot wraparound terrace with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and East River. A true garden in the sky, the fully landscaped terrace encircles the entire upper level, featuring multiple seating areas, terracotta tiling, lush greenery, integrated irrigation, ambient lighting, and a built-in audio system-ideal for elegant entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. Inside, the 11th floor unfolds with 10-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, hand-pegged oak floors, and a rare continuity of light and air, with French doors in every room opening onto the terrace. A dramatic 60-foot-long arched gallery creates a natural rhythm between the formal living and dining rooms, perfect for grand entertaining. The stately dining room looks onto the garden terrace, while the windowed chef's kitchen-finished in rich mahogany and granite-offers both craftsmanship and comfort. A powder room with skylight and a flexible staff room (currently used as an office) complete the upper level. The 10th floor is dedicated to privacy and spaciousness. The expansive primary suite includes two separate windowed bathrooms-a rare prewar luxury-a dressing room, and abundant custom mahogany closets. Two additional bedrooms, one with a second fireplace, each include en-suite baths and generous storage. This level also offers a dedicated laundry area, additional storage, and access via both a private internal staircase and building elevator. PTAC units provide year-round climate control throughout the home. Built in 1929 by De Pace & Juster, 444 East 52nd Street is a 13-story Art Deco jewel with Gothic and Tudor flourishes, crowned by three striking thunderbird sculptures. Tucked away on a quiet East River cul-de-sac in the prestigious Beekman enclave, the building offers full-time door staff, a live-in resident manager, and a classic white-glove cooperative experience. Pied-à-terre ownership and pets are welcome. Flip tax: 1 year of maintenance Shares: PH: 1,625 / 10B: 240 Financing: 75% permitted Read Less
