Description

Reimagine your dream space at 55 E 56th Street in apartment 6C!

Perched amidst the cultural vibrancy of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a charming one-bedroom, one-bathroom cooperative apartment is waiting for your personal touch. A rare and appealing blend of location, potential, and value, this property is an unpolished gem that offers a unique opportunity for the discerning buyer.

The apartment welcomes you with a spacious kitchen, ripe with potential for expanded storage with additional cabinetry, thanks to its high 10 ft ceilings. A simple redesign could infuse this gateway with your personality, making it a welcoming introduction to your urban sanctuary.

Beyond the kitchen, the heart of the home truly lies in the generously proportioned living room, accentuated by dual windows.

A character-filled decorative fireplace adds a note of timeless charm to this versatile space, perfect for both entertaining and tranquil moments of solitude.

The spacious bedroom, comfortably accommodating a queen bedroom set, comes equipped with a wall of closets and an ensuite bathroom for the utmost privacy. This bathroom also presents the opportunity for an additional access point from the main living area, with some minor renovation work.

While this apartment is poised for an update to truly shine, it’s important to remember that it is more than a potential-filled interior. You’ll be part of a well-established cooperative building in the heart of the Upper East Side, a neighborhood renowned for its world-class museums, sophisticated dining, high-end shopping, and a host of green spaces, including Central Park, just a few blocks away.

Located in a stately former mansion on a beautiful tree-lined block, this landmarked 7-floor boutique cooperative building is a gem to behold.

The co-op welcomes ownership as a pied a terre, is pet friendly, and has a live-in super, storage units, bike room, and laundry.

Moreover, living in 55 E 56th Street places you at the center of a transportation nexus, with a multitude of bus routes and nearby subway stations offering swift access to the F, Q, 4, 5, 6, and N, R, W train lines.

This is more than just a purchase. It’s an opportunity to take a blank canvas and transform it into your dream city dwelling. With its reasonable price point, and sought-after location, this apartment offers an ideal chance for the savvy investor or first-time buyer alike to stake their claim in one of the world’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Embrace the chance to curate your dream lifestyle in this home ready to be molded to your vision.
