Description

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.
