About The Campanile, 450 East 52nd Street
This distinguished, small apartment building is directly across from River House at the end of this dead-end street overlooking the East River.
The 14-story, brown-brick building is a cooperative and has only 16 apartments and a pool. The pre-war building has no canopy and no sidewalk landscaping, but a doorman. This is an attractive block with many pre-war apartment buildings on the south side and considerable "light and air" because several buildings on the north side are set back in plazas or driveways.
The building has superb views of the East River, but no roof deck, no garage and no balconies.
It is in the Beekman Place-Sutton Place area that has numerous restaurants and good neighborhood shopping. There is cross-town bus service on 49th and 50th Streets, but subways are several blocks away as are several small parks.
