From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
7B is an spacious 2BR/2Bath corner apartment boasting triple southern/western/northern exposures and a luxurious convertible-3BR layout. Recent renovations feature throughout the unit, including a windowed, pass-thru kitchen sporting granite countertops, custom oak cabinetry, augmented overhead lighting, and top-flight appliances by Dakor and Miele. The primary bathroom has also been completely overhauled with custom blown glass hand-laid paneling, brass fixtures by Dornbracht, Toto washlet, and radiant heated flooring. The highly versatile secondary BR doubles as both home office and guest BR thanks to a sophisticated Murphy bed hidden within the elaborate built-in desk and shelving unit. A dining area adjacent to the kitchen is currently configured as a den but easily converts to a proper third bedroom. 136 East 56th Street is a fullservice cooperative nestled in the heart of Midtown East. Services include fulltime doorman, resident superintendent, bike storage, private storage, laundry room, and directly accessible garage (with discounted rates for shareholders). The coop only just completed a glorious renovation of its lobby and hallways.
