About This Property
56 East 1st Street is a spectacular, 22-wide, 3-unit, industrial chic downtown property. This 5-story, approximately 6,090 sq. ft. building contains a community facility on the ground floor, a duplex apartment with outdoor space and a sprawling triplex with 20' ceilings, terrace, and roof deck. There is additional FAR that could be realized by building up or utilizing some of the unused internal cubic feet. It could be converted to a grand single-family home or used for institutions. Located at the center of Nolita, NoHo, the East Village and the Lower East Side, the property is minutes away from some of the best restaurants and shopping options in Manhattan. Steps away are also eight major subway lines, providing easy access to anywhere in the City.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Leslie J Garfield & Co Inc.
The triplex has 20-foot ceilings, and that's the first thing I'd look at in this 6,090 square foot property at 56 East 1st Street. Ceilings that tall give rooms real volume and leave more room for furniture choices, though height alone doesn't tell you how a floor plan will work day to day. The listing also places a terrace and roof deck with the triplex, so you can judge that space across several levels.
The property has three units alongside a community facility on the ground floor. One is a duplex with outdoor space, and the other is the triplex. The listing also notes that the building could become a single family home or be used for institutions, which gives it more than one way to be used.
The listing mentions additional FAR and unused internal cubic feet that could be used by building up or reworking interior space. Those are zoning and approval questions, so confirm them with your broker or an attorney before you rely on them.
The 2 Av station on the F is about 1 minute on foot, and Bleecker Street is about 8 minutes away. Sara D. Roosevelt Park is about 2 minutes away, and Whole Foods Market is about 4 minutes. Katz's Delicatessen is about 4 minutes on foot, so the neighborhood's restaurants are close by when you want them.
