Description

Rarely Available Corner Two Bedroom at 31 East 72nd Street Perfectly situated at the corner of 72nd Street and Madison Avenue, this coveted limestone-clad 1916 pre-war cooperative is located in the heart of the Upper East Side Historic District. This corner apartment has open views looking down Madison Avenue, across 72nd Street to the Rhinelander Mansion, and oblique views of Central Park. With 10'1" ceilings, this two bedroom, two and a half bath home retains a number of prewar details, including original hardwood floors, solid 2 3/4" thick doors, and an original wood-burning fireplace in the master bedroom. Measuring at approximately 1,555 square feet, the apartment is ready to be reimagined by a discerning buyer. The foyer opens to the light-flooded 455 square foot living/dining room, facing west and south. The beautiful master suite faces south and east with five spacious closets and an ensuite windowed marble bath. The second bedroom, with its stained glass windows, coffered ceiling and distinctive wood paneling, faces north and east, with an adjacent full bath. The fully equipped, windowed kitchen is complete with a pantry and has a pass through to the dining area. The kitchen can be easily be opened to the living/dining room if desired. A powder room, stacked washer/dryer, ample closet space, central air conditioning ductwork, and a basement storage unit complete this classic prewar residence. A covid-related commercial real estate special assessment of $3573 has been in place since May 2020 and is currently being reviewed. 31 East 72nd Street is just one block from Central Park, and easily accessible to the Upper East Side?s best attractions.

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.
