About This Home

This thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers a flexible layout, warm details and an unbeatable Midtown East location. Set above commercial space, this is not your typical second-floor apartment. It delivers a quiet, elevated living experience that feels more removed from street level than you'd expect.

Exposed brick and an open-concept layout create a sense of warmth and flow. The living and dining areas connect seamlessly to an open kitchen equipped with updated appliances, featuring a recently added Fisher & Paykel fridge and an LG stove installed within the past year. Multiple built-ins and customized closets in both the living area and the primary bedroom offer smart and efficient storage throughout. Wall-to-wall windows bring in abundant eastern light, while Citiquiet windows in both bedrooms ensure a peaceful, insulated environment.

The primary bedroom features a spacious en suite bathroom with double sinks and a glass-enclosed shower. The apartment also includes an in-unit washer and dryer, and hardwood floors throughout.

The second bedroom is designed for adaptable living. It features a high-end custom hardwood Murphy bed from Spain, complete with two twin beds, built-in desks, a tall wardrobe, drawers, and shelving. It's perfect for hosting guests, working from home, or both. The seller is willing to remove the Murphy bed upon request. Please see the alternate floor plan.

136 East 56th Street is a full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, renovated lobby, updated laundry room, bike storage, and an on-site parking garage with reduced rates for shareholders. The building allows up to 80% financing and welcomes co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors, and parents buying for children. Pieds-à-terre and pets are permitted.

The building is surrounded by top-tier lifestyle essentials, including Whole Foods, Equinox, Bloomingdale's, and Fifth Avenue shopping. World-class museums and Central Park are also just minutes away. Convenient access to the 4/5/6, E, M,F N, R, W, and Q subway lines, plus the 57th Street crosstown bus, makes getting around the city a breeze.
