Property Description

Perched on a high floor with sweeping north and east exposures, this sun-flooded corner unit is an expansive convertible 3 or 4-bedroom home, currently configured as 2 bedrooms and 3 baths, including two en-suite bathrooms. Beautifully renovated interiors, a planted private terrace, and generous room proportions make this a rare find between Park and Lexington Avenues. Set within a well-maintained full-service co-op, the entire home was masterfully renovated to create an open, airy layout anchored by picture windows, richly colored hardwood floors, and generously scaled living spaces throughout. From the central entry foyer, an expansive living room extends east, its picture windows flooding the space with light. Around the corner and to the north, a windowed eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar and corner seating area flows directly into the dining area to the west. The dining area enjoys access to the planted terrace and is adjacent to a full bath. It can easily be enclosed to create a third bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. Just beyond, also looking north onto the terrace, is a generous secondary living room that functions beautifully as a den, with enough scale that it too can be enclosed — in whole or in part — to create a fourth bedroom. The two bedrooms in the current layout are positioned on opposite ends of the home for maximum privacy. The primary suite to the east features a luxurious en-suite bath and walk-in closet; the secondary bedroom to the west offers its own full bath, walk-in cedar closet, and direct views over the terrace. A well-appointed in-unit laundry room with additional storage completes the picture. 136 East 56th Street is a full-service co-op with 24-hour doorman, renovated hallways, updated lobby, live-in superintendent, bike room, laundry facilities, and an in-building parking garage. Pets, pied-à-terres, gifting, co-purchasing, and subletting are permitted with board approval. Central Park, world-class dining, and premier shopping on Fifth and Madison Avenues are all just minutes away, as are Carnegie Hall and Jazz at Lincoln Center. The Theatre District is a quick trip west, putting the very best of the city within easy reach.
