Description

Welcome to residence 5E at 305 East 72nd Street, a spacious two bedroom, two bath corner unit with double exposures and high end renovations. The living space is over 30 feet long with plenty of room for a L shaped sofa, home office, dining for 6, and designated work out area. Adjacent to the living room is a state of the art, windowed kitchen with southern exposure. Thoughtfully redesigned, it?s a chef?s dream; stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, Ceasarstone Quartz countertops, Ann Sacks tiled backsplash and a 46 bottle wine refrigerator. The owners took out part of the wall in the kitchen and created a window so they could easily see into the living room. Creating that window was a smart decision; you can easily keep an eye on little ones while simultaneously letting in more light to the kitchen. Best of all, next to the kitchen is your own Miele washer/dryer. The master suite has plenty of room for a king size bed, nightstands, dresser and even a desk. Light abounds in this room with southern and western exposures. The built in California Closets provide plenty of storage. With Ann Sacks tiles and a new Room and Board vanity you?ll only need to bring your toothbrush to feel right at home. The second bedroom is large enough to fit two twin beds and it?s outfitted with soundproof city windows. No detail was overlooked in this remodel. The apartment will come with Hunter Douglas blinds throughout, white oak engineered flooring and custom built closet organizers from The Container Store. All cable electronics are installed in-wall for a clean, seamless aesthetic. The Charing Cross House cooperative provides a full time doorman, live in super, a gorgeous roof deck with garden, storage room, bike area and on-site fitness room. The lobby is elegant and timeless. Pets allowed. Pied a terre, co-purchasing and sublet allowed with board approval. Conveniently located at the crossroads of the Upper East Side and Lenox Hill, this apartment is the epitome of location, location, location. Don?t miss some of our favorite neighborhood restaurants near this lovely home; La Esquina, JG Melon, BLT Prime, Sweetgreen, and Ralph?s Coffee. Conveniently located near the Apple Store, Equinox and New York Sports Club. The Q Subway is right around the corner as well as the crosstown M72 bus. Central Park is only 4 blocks away, and Morton Williams, Citeralla and Fleishers Craft Butchery are all within 3 blocks! Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to make apartment 5E at 305 East 72nd Street your home, today.

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.
