Description

Sunny 3 Bedroom 3 Bath Ideally Located on East 72nd Street in Full-Service Prewar Doorman Building.

The West line at 215 East 72nd Street is flooded with northern, southern and western light. A gracious 29 foot gallery with 2 coat closets and a linen closet connects the formal dining room to the generously proportioned, south facing living room. Off of the living room is the primary bedroom, with a lovely and sunny southern exposure. This bedroom is equipped with a large walk-in closet that opens up to the windowed primary bathroom. The apartment has been well maintained and has updated windows throughout.

The second and third bedrooms have their own vestibule off the gallery and are wonderfully proportioned. They share a windowed bathroom. One of these bedrooms could easily be configured as a library and they both have ample storage.

The formal west facing dining room gets wonderful light and is perfect for entertaining. It has the flexibility to be a more casual sitting room or den. Through this room is an open bar/pantry and a kitchen with open, northern city views. Not one but two staff rooms extend from the kitchen, and are accompanied by an en suite full bath. The kitchen can be opened up to accommodate a full eating area and has plentiful storage and pantry space, as well as a washer/dryer.

Throughout the apartment are elegant prewar details: high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, crown molding and a wood burning fireplace in the living room.

215 East 72nd Street is an elegant prewar cooperative with a full time doorman and private storage. There is a laundry room and outdoor courtyard with basketball court open to all shareholders. Pets and pied-a-terres are permitted and the building allows for 50% financing.

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.
