The Sorting House is a low-rise condominium conversion occupying a historic 1926 post office in Midtown Manhattan. Standing three stories tall, the building blends preserved masonry and industrial-style blackened steel casement windows with newly inserted residential entries and contemporary detailing. Residences are configured primarily as two-bedroom lofts and duplexes that emphasize open-plan living: generous great rooms, high ceilings (commonly 9'8"–10'), oversized casement windows, and wide plank white oak flooring. Kitchens are finished to a high standard with integrated Miele appliances, marble slab counters and backsplashes, custom islands and pantry storage; primary suites include walk-in closets and multi-fixture limestone-clad bathrooms. Many units incorporate flexible spaces — dens, home offices, or disappearing-glide walls — plus in-unit washers/dryers and private outdoor space accessible by internal stairs. Shared elements include a planted and furnished common roof deck with private cabanas and sizable terraces, a fitness room with a yoga studio, bicycle and private storage, and a part-time attended lobby augmented by virtual concierge services. The building provides controlled elevator access to roof areas and limited garage adjacency via neighborhood parking; pet policies and storage allocations follow the condominium’s offering plan. Located near Central Park, the Theater District and Columbus Circle, the property positions residents within walking distance of transit, restaurants, cultural institutions and waterfront parks.
