Property Description for 136 East 56th Street, 7-C

HUGE convertible 2 bedroom in a full-service building just off of Park Avenue and blocks from Central Park.  On the 7th floor of this wonderful co-op, you will find Apartment 7C - a giant one bedroom that is easily convertible to two beds. The massive living room offers an excellent layout for both relaxation and dining and also houses a wall of gorgeous built-ins, perfect for show pieces, wine storage, a dedicated work from home area and beyond. The windowed dining area is perfect for just that or can easily be transformed into a large home office or nursery. If you’re one who likes to cook, the gorgeous pass-thru kitchen (with pantry!) is sure to impress. Outfitted with abundant, light maple-colored cabinetry, expansive countertops, and high end stainless steel appliances that include Sub Zero refrigerator, Viking stove and Miele dishwasher, it has all you need. Your main bedroom is most definitely fit for a king, spanning nearly 17 feet plus a fantastic walk-in closet.  All rooms have HVAC unit temperature controls. A stone-tiled bath in excellent condition completes the picture along with FIVE phenomenal closets. Should you need a washer/dryer, the building allows for their installation. 136 East 56th Street is a full-service building located between Park and Lexington Avenues. Amenities include: 24 hour doorman and concierge services, live-in super, laundry, bike storage, and in-building parking garage that offers a discount rate to shareholders. The building has completed a new limestone facade restoration and is currently nearing the end of a full renovation of the hallways and lobby (with NO assessment). Pet friendly, and the Board allows co-purchasing, guarantors, gifting, and pied a terre use. Subletting allowed after 2 years of ownership. Some photos are virtually edited. Building photos represent renderings of the common area renovations. The completed result may vary slightly from renderings.

Midtown East | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Midtown West and Midtown East have a lot in common. They’re bustling, iconic, and full of people. But just like siblings, their personalities can be vastly different. Midtown East is a bit more sophisticated and doesn’t quite have the vivacity and unruliness that its westerly counterpart exudes. 

Midtown East is bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 5th Avenue to the west, and 3rd Avenue to the east. 

The neighborhood is famous for its high-end stores, tourist attractions, posh hotels (budget ones too), and iconic architecture. Midtown East is also one of the largest financial and business hubs in Manhattan. During normal business hours the sidewalks are full of commuters and people moving from point A to point B. In the early evening, when the masses have left for the day, things suddenly get a little quieter and the sidewalks have a lot less foot traffic.  

Although largely a commercial neighborhood, residential areas of Midtown East do exist on the eastern section of the neighborhood. 

Grand Central Station is located in Midtown East and like Midtown West, it’s an extremely commutable neighborhood. The 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains whisk people in and out of the neighborhood 24 hours a day. Grand Central Station also serves as a hub for New York State and Connecticut commuter rails. These trains can take you anywhere along the Hudson River or up into Connecticut. It’s perfect for day tripping.
