Property Description for 136 East 56th Street, 3-G

Introducing a Douglas Elliman Exclusive by The Eklund Gomes Team:

Move right into this generously proportioned one-bedroom with brand-new hardwood floors throughout, offering comfort, light, and convenience in the heart of Midtown East.

Perched on the third floor of a full-service cooperative, Residence 3G is bathed in natural light from a wall of east-facing windows spanning both the spacious living room and bedroom. The open layout easily accommodates separate areas for living, dining, and working from home, creating a versatile and inviting space for any lifestyle.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with sleek cabinetry, a Liebherr refrigerator, a four-burner range, and a microwave, along with ample storage for effortless functionality. The bathroom is crisp and modern, and three large closets plus built-in storage ensure excellent organization.

At 56th Street, residents enjoy a suite of amenities including a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator, laundry room, bike storage, on-site garage, and storage. The building is pet-friendly and allows guarantors, co-purchasing, pied-à-terre ownership, subletting, and 80% financing.

The current special assessment will be paid off in full prior to closing!

Ideally positioned between Park and Lexington Avenues, the location offers unrivaled access to Central Park, Bloomingdale's, Whole Foods, and a wide array of restaurants, cafes, and boutique shopping. Multiple subway lines (E, M, 4/5/6, N/Q/R/W) are all within a few blocks, ensuring seamless connectivity anywhere in the city, making this a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home in one of Manhattan's most connected and convenient neighborhoods.

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.
