56 EAST 11 STREET · #5

Loft living defined: understated ease and architectural character that define classic downtown Manhattan living, with modern touches. Tucked along one of Greenwich Village’s most beautiful loft blocks, just off University Place and moments from Grace Church, 56 East 11th St offers this beautiful and expansive two-bedroom loft residence for you to explore and call your own, all set within a beautifully restored and well maintained cooperative loft building. A key-locked elevator opens directly into the residence, where nearly 11-foot ceilings, oversized windows, exposed brick, and generous proportions create an immediate sense of volume and calm. The scale of the main living space is particularly striking — wide, open, and remarkably versatile — evoking the warmth and authenticity of the historic artist lofts that once defined this part of Manhattan. The great room is particularly inviting — wide, comfortable, and exceptionally livable — equally suited to large-scale entertaining or quieter evenings at home. Exposed brick and warm Scandinavian-inspired interiors soften the architecture, creating a space that feels both refined and relaxed rather than overly formal. The interiors strike a thoughtful balance between loft character and modern comfort. Soft natural light, Scandinavian-inspired finishes, and warm materials give the home an inviting, relaxed atmosphere that feels both refined and effortlessly livable. Renovated over time, the kitchen, extra large bathrooms and updated systems have been integrated carefully without compromising the apartment’s original architectural spirit. The primary suite is spacious and serene, framed by exposed brick and large windows., with an ensuite bath including a generous sized shower and separate soaking tub. One of the residence’s defining qualities is its quietness. Despite being moments from some of downtown’s best restaurants, cafés, shopping, and transportation, the home feels exceptionally peaceful — a true retreat from the pace of the city. The cooperative has also completed a substantial series of upgrades and improvements, including a renovated lobby, updated elevator and entry systems, enhanced security and video intercom infrastructure, restored common areas, structural and roof work, a new boiler, and modernized building systems throughout. Carson app integration allows residents to manage access, deliveries, maintenance requests, and building communication seamlessly from their phones. Positioned moments from lower Fifth Avenue, Washington Square Park, Union Square, and some of downtown’s best restaurants, cafés, and shopping, the location places the Village, Flatiron, NoHo, and SoHo within easy reach while retaining the intimacy and architectural character that make this stretch of East 11th Street so enduringly appealing. A genuine downtown home with scale, warmth, quiet, and authenticity — thoughtfully updated and ready to enjoy. Note: There are currently two assessments: 1) one thousand one hundred twenty-six dollars and twenty-six cents per month through Q1 2027; 2) six hundred sixty-five dollars and fifty-one cents per month, which is ongoing. Storage is available for the apartment in the basement.
