About This Property

A Rare Opportunity to Create an Extraordinary Duplex Residence An exceptional opportunity to combine and create a spectacular two full-floor boutique condominium residences into one expansive, approximately 2,400-square-foot duplex with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and the potential for a private roof deck (subject to approval). Proposed as Residence 4, this thoughtfully envisioned home offers the scale and character rarely found in Manhattan, seamlessly blending loft-inspired interiors with modern luxury. Designed to maximize both entertaining and everyday living, the lower level features an expansive open-concept living room, dining area, and chef's kitchen with soaring 11-foot ceilings, dramatic 9-foot doorways, original exposed brick, and oversized windows with protected northern and southern exposures that flood the home with natural light throughout the day. A spacious secondary bedroom and full bathroom complete this level, while an interior staircase connects both floors. The upper level is designed as a private bedroom wing, offering an impressive primary suite with a generous walk-in closet and spa-like ensuite bath, along with two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a conveniently located laundry area. The flexible layout provides exceptional privacy while accommodating a variety of lifestyles, whether for families, guests, or home office needs. Above, the residence offers the potential to connect to an approximately 1,000-square-foot private roof deck (subject to approval), envisioned as a true outdoor extension of the home with multiple entertaining, dining, and lounge areas. Additional highlights include central air conditioning, in-unit washer and dryer, large private storage, bicycle storage, and remarkably low carrying costs. Located within an intimate boutique brownstone condominium, 506 East 119th Street is moments from East River Plaza, home to Costco, Aldi, and numerous everyday conveniences. The nearby 6 train at 116th Street provides easy access to Midtown, while the Upper East Side and a growing selection of neighborhood restaurants, cafés, and parks are all within easy reach. Please note: The combined Residence 4 is a proposed configuration based on the accompanying alternative floor plan. Combination and roof deck access are subject to all required approvals and should be independently verified by purchasers.

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

The lower floor holds the living room, dining area and chef's kitchen in one open run, along with a secondary bedroom and full bath. An interior staircase leads up to the upper floor, which is set up as a private bedroom wing with the primary suite, two more bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a laundry area.

The lower level's ceilings are 11 feet and its doorways are 9 feet, and the original exposed brick gives the main room some texture. The windows have northern and southern exposures. The south windows get direct sun for about 8.5 hours on the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 6.1 hours on the summer solstice. The north side gets about 4.2 hours of direct sun on the summer solstice. Nearby buildings can block these windows.

An open plan keeps the cooking, dining and lounging connected, which suits a home that's meant for entertaining. The trade-off is less separation between those activities, so you'd notice it most when someone is cooking while someone else is working.

Central air, an in-unit washer and dryer, large private storage and bicycle storage are all part of the home. There's also room to explore a roof terrace of about 1,000 square feet that could connect to the apartment, though that depends on approval.

East River Plaza and ALDI are each about 2 minutes on foot, with Fine Fare Supermarket about 4 minutes away. East River Esplanade is about 3 minutes on foot and Thomas Jefferson Park about 7 minutes.

The building is a walk-up with seven units, built in 1900. Pets are allowed.
