136 E 56Th St

Located on East 56th Street in Midtown Manhattan, this 16-story, 1962-built cooperative contains 47 residences ranging from junior one-bedroom layouts to four-bedroom family apartments. The building presents a recently refreshed limestone façade and a boutique scale that balances a classic mid‑century structure with contemporary lobby and hallway updates. Units often feature hardwood floors, abundant custom built-ins, formal dining or convertible layouts, separate entrance foyers, recessed lighting, and sizable closets including walk-ins; some residences retain traditional details such as chandeliers and formal dining rooms while others show modern gut-renovations with marble finishes and high-end appliances. Common areas emphasize full-service living: 24-hour doorman and concierge staffing, a live‑in superintendent, central laundry, elevator service, bike room, storage cages (wait list), and an on-site garage with resident rates and basement access. Exterior amenities include a planted courtyard and a roof deck, and several apartments offer private outdoor spaces of varying sizes. Building policies are owner-friendly for a coop: pets permitted, pied-à-terre and co‑purchasing allowed, guarantors considered, 80% financing typical, and subletting permitted after two years subject to board approval. The location provides immediate access to Park and Lexington Avenues, multiple subway lines, flagship retail on 57th Street, Whole Foods, Central Park, and Midtown dining and cultural destinations.
