Property Description for 111 East 56th Street, 1202
Sophisticated Prewar Living at The Lombardy
111 East 56th Street, Residence 1202 1 BD 1 BA $449,000
Residence 1202 at The Lombardy presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a grand, south-facing one-bedroom prewar home offering remarkable volume, radiant natural light, and classic Manhattan elegance. Whether envisioned as a distinguished primary residence, an effortless pied-à-terre, or a high-yield investment, this oversized residence delivers immediate comfort paired with tremendous upside.
Past a gracious foyer flanked by generous coat and storage closets, the home opens into an expansive south-facing living and dining salon defined by soaring 10-foot ceilings and substantial proportions. The efficiency kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry, an integrated cooktop, microwave, and refrigerator. Privately sequestered, the serene king-sized bedroom suite features a large walk-in closet and an en-suite marble bath with a deep soaking tub and classic fixtures.
A rare flexibility in Manhattan co-op ownership: owners can enjoy full white-glove hotel service while in residence and, with minimal cosmetic refreshes, enroll the apartment into The Lombardy's renowned hotel rental program to generate hands-off rental income when away.
Commissioned in 1926 by publisher William Randolph Hearst and designed by Emery Roth, The Lombardy stands as an iconic prewar cooperative landmark, celebrated for hosting cultural luminaries such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Positioned on a prime, tree-lined Midtown East block just moments from Central Park, Fifth Avenue shopping, MoMA, and premier dining destinations, the building provides an uncompromising suite of white-glove services.

One Bed in Midtown East
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.
