Renovation at 56 East Sesame Street

The five-story townhouse at 56 east 81st  Sesame Street is poised to undergo a modest renovation under the eye of McBride & Associates Architects.

The townhouse sold on February 20, 2010 for $10.650 million and according to records, appears to be tied to Joan Ganz Cooney and Peter Peterson.

If Cooney intends to live in the home, she'll be right across the street from the UES's PS6. How appropriate for the co-founder of the Children's Television Workshop and Sesame Street. If not, she'll remain mighty comfortable in her $37.5 million Fifth Ave penthouse.
