Description

This tranquil, corner two bedroom and two windowed bath residence has been recently skim coated and painted. Each outlet and doorknob has been replaced and the clean, white kitchen has stainless steel appliances and new hardware. This perfectly located UES gem awaits your personal touch to make it a home to be proud of.

Enter through your large entry foyer and see the serene treetops overlooking classic townhouses along East 73rd St. The flexible layout allows for multiple uses and could even lend itself to the creation of a third bedroom.The original parquet hardwood flooring is under carpeting and in good condition throughout the bedroom wing. The spacious galley kitchen features under-cabinet lighting, in-unit washer/dryer and your own service door, where trash and deliveries conveniently come and go.

The private living quarters are accessed through a gallery and both bedrooms are generously sized with very large closets, windows, and are each pin-drop quiet. The primary bedroom is on a delightful corner and offers space for a king-sized bed as well as a sitting area. Your windowed bathroom is en-suite! The second bedroom is lined with custom built-ins, boasts two closets and lends itself seamlessly to a den or home office use. Its adjacent second bath is windowed and accessed through the shared hallway for use by guests as well as residents.

A mere stones throw to Central Park and some of the most prestigious cultural and commercial institutions in New York, a multitude of name restaurants, and transportation on every block, this coveted address represents the quintessence of uptown living. This intimate coop has only three apartments per floor and a meticulously maintained lobby and elevator. 45 East 72nd is a white-glove, post-war co-op with 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, a newly renovated lobby and gym, and a bike room in addition to your own storage that transfers at no cost with the sale of the apartment.

The building is pet-friendly and allows up to 65% financing. Guarantors and co-purchasing are considered on a case-by-case basis. 2% flip tax. This listing features photos that have been virtually staged.

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.
