Description

Welcome to Apt. 5A located in arguably the most prestigious location on the Upper Eastside with Central Park just one block away, and in one of the city's premier long established luxury cooperatives.

This exceptional, sun-filled and flexible five room primarily overlooking 72 Street to the South with park like views as well as to charming townhouses and gardens to the North is elegance and refinement personified. It is tastefully renovated with keen attention to detail and in triple mint condition.

Step into the room-sized gallery with eye-catching marble floors, cove lighting and handsome moldings. Enter the beautifully proportioned sun filled living room with triple windows facing South, hardwood floors, crafted moldings, electrified sconces and built-in bar.

The huge master bedroom faces South and has an en suite marble bath, custom closets and book cases and a separate built-in dressing area with additional storage.

Offering the ultimate in privacy is the second bedroom located on the opposite side of the apartment from the master. The marble guest bathroom is well positioned to accommodate guests.

Double glass paneled wood doors open into the formal dining room, overlooking townhouse gardens, is currently a library/office, but can easily be converted to a third bedroom.

The windowed kitchen has significant storage, stainless steel appliances, a stone tile floor, breakfast bar, and concealed washer/dryer.

45 E. 72 Street boasts a highly accommodating door staff, resident manager, newly renovated lobby, elevator and gym. Private storage transfers with the apartment. Pets are welcome.

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.
