Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Sothebys International Realty.
A waterfall island anchors the kitchen in this 860-square-foot one bedroom at 611 West 56th Street. It works as a prep surface, a casual spot to eat and a natural gathering point. The kitchen opens to the living space, so cooking and company share one room, which some people prefer and others find harder to live with.
The kitchen is fitted with Gaggenau equipment, from the cooktop and oven to the dishwasher and refrigerator. Italian walnut cabinetry sits beneath honed Grigio Nicola marble counters, with a matching slab backsplash. In an apartment this size, a dishwasher earns its place.
The primary bedroom has a dedicated dressing area and a five-fixture en-suite bath with a soaking tub. Walk-in closets and outfitted bedroom closets handle storage, and the apartment includes a private storage bin. There are two bathrooms in total, so it's easy to avoid a queue in the morning.
The apartment faces south. Direct sun through a south-facing window runs from about 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM at the winter solstice, roughly 8.5 hours, and about 10 hours at the equinoxes. In June, the window runs from about 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM. Nearby buildings can block some or all of that light.
The building was built in 2018, rises 37 stories and has 77 units. Álvaro Siza designed the architecture, and Gabellini Sheppard designed the interiors, including bespoke lighting by Sheppard. The apartment has a washer and dryer in the unit, central air and heat, and hardwood floors. Shared amenities include a concierge, an elevator, a gym, a steam room, a roof deck, a courtyard, a garden, a game room and a screening room.
De Witt Clinton Park is about 3 minutes on foot, and Riverside Park South is about 6 minutes. Morton Williams supermarket is about 5 minutes away, and the Intrepid museum is about 14 minutes on foot.
