Welcome to 11E, an alcove studio on the 11th floor of The Salem House.
The thoughtfully designed alcove creates a natural separation between living and sleeping spaces, offering the privacy and functionality of a true one-bedroom without the price tag. Renovated throughout, the apartment features an updated kitchen, refreshed bathroom, and floors that give the home a fresh, modern feel. City views and abundant natural light pour in all day, making this high-floor home feel open, airy, and expansive well beyond its footprint.
The Salem House delivers full-service living with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, landscaped roof deck, garage, and laundry — all with low common charges and taxes. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block steps from Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion, the East River Promenade, and the Q train.
