Description

One of the Most Affordable One-Bedroom in an Upper East Side Co-Op (Estate Sale, so some photos are virtually staged). ***Please note open houses are by appointment only. Be the first to see this bright, north-facing, pin-drop quiet, one-bedroom apartment boasting fabulous hard wood floors and multiple closets. The large bedroom currently features a queen-sized bed, end-table and a large dresser. Even larger is the over-sized living area, and there is ample room for a home office. The dining area, with a proper table and four chairs perfectly situated and ready for all of your meals, is adjacent to the full kitchen. Located on the quiet cul-de-sac of East 72nd Street, stroll to the end of the block and relax while watching the boats go by on the East River. Easily accessed to two nearby parks, with pedestrian-only access to the East River Promenade. 520 East 72nd Street is a full-service, pet-friendly, upper east side co-op offering amenities including 24-hour doorman/concierge, a live-in resident manager, a garage, a laundry facility with brand new machines, bike storage, building link, a library and a Zen-garden, as well as brand new elevators. This is a non-smoking building. Co-purchasers, guarantors, pied-a-terres and subletting (after two years, for two years out of five) are all allowed. The building has 242 units, was built in 1963, and the co-op permits financing of up to 70%. The building is conveniently located to the Second Avenue Subway (the Q train is just 2 blocks away), two bus routes on the corner (72nd Street cross-town and the M31 to 57th Street and the Westside), shopping and recreational facilities.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
