Description

An expansive 3 bedroom and 2 bath residence at 165 East 72nd Street one of the best white glove cooperatives located in the heart of the Upper East Side. The introduction to this home starts with a gracious and warm entry foyer featuring a clever architectural column, cove lighting, and a wall of custom-built-in bookshelves. The foyer leads to an expansive living and dining room with a wall of eastern-facing windows providing incredible morning sun and city views. The living room is large enough for a multitude of layouts making it ideal for comfortable living and large entertaining. The dining room stretches from the galley kitchen to the windows creating an option for a 4th bedroom while retaining a separate dining alcove. The galley kitchen is conveniently accessible from the foyer and the dining room. The kitchen is move-in ready with simple white cabinetry and appliances including a side-by-side SubZero fridge and a Dacor cooktop and range. The primary suite is separately located from the other bedrooms with open and sunny eastern views. Three large outfitted, walk-in closets provide an abundance of storage space for the largest of wardrobes. The en-suite bath features perfectly restored period tiling and a combined tub and shower. Two well-proportioned bedrooms are located on the opposite end of the residence with open western exposures and generous closet space. These bedrooms share a full bath which also features restored period tiling. Other features of this lovely home include perfectly finished solid wood parquet floors, through-the-wall combined AC and heat, tremendous outfitted closet space, and bright open east and west exposures perfect for enjoying both sunrises and sunsets. 165 East 72nd Street is one of the highest-regarded cooperatives in the heart of the Upper East Side located centrally on Third Avenue. This white-glove, full-service building is located near the best of everything on the Upper East Side including shopping, restaurants, galleries, Central Park, and all modes of public transportation. Building residents enjoy stellar financials, two doormen at all times, elevator operators, a gym, a garage, separate storage, and a bike room. This pet and pied-a-terre-friendly building has one of the most professional and friendly staff in all of New York City. 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser and 75% financing is permitted.

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.
