Description

East 56th Street is an oversized ALCOVE STUDIO in the heart of Midtown, located between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. Available to show 7 days a week w advance notice. The open plan living room offers flexible layouts including a full dining area and potential home office. The galley kitchen was recently updated and functions perfectly even with its efficient size. The sleeping alcove accommodates a queen-sized bed easily and if so desired, can be converted into a separate, legal bedroom. A roomy dressing area leads into the master bath. There is no lack of abundant storage (four large closets). Pleasant constant northern light shines in through wall to wall north-facing windows. There are hardwood floors throughout and through-wall air conditioning. The Sterling, as the building is named, is a full-service post-war cooperative in a prime Midtown East location several blocks from Central Park and near terrific restaurants like The Shadmor, Smith & Wollensky, Felidia, and Crave Fish Bar. Great shopping abounds like Bloomingdales, Home Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond, and WHOLE FOODS just around the corner! Actually you wont ever have to cook with so many delicious choices around and even a full bar and Italian restaurant just downstairs of the building! With eight subway lines (4, 5, 6, E, Q, N, R, M) and the Second Avenue Select Bus, commuting is a breeze to anywhere in the city or outer boroughs. There is a huge fully-furnished common roof deck (a must see during your viewing of the apt.) with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. A live-in super, 24-hour doorman and a large common laundry room are also included. Hallways and the lobby have been recently renovated. The Sterling is Pet friendly and Pied--terres and co-purchasing permitted on case by case basis. The building is also a smoke free building. Call or email me anytime as the apartment is easy for me to show.

    "Pied a terre since 2020 ground floor studio in a mediocre building with a great private backyard garden. Great places to walk, east river, Beekman Place, convenient to everything in midtown. Side streets are mostly quiet and tree lined. Reasonable rents in B properties near luxury buildings. Not cheap but you don’t need to be rich to live here. "
