Description

Welcome to this beautiful gem in prime Lenox Hill!

Residence 2J is located in a premier white-glove co-op building in a sought-after Upper East Side neighborhood. The gorgeous 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom home underwent an extensive, impeccable no-expense-spared gut-renovation in 2015. Its spacious layout is unique and atypical of other B/J-line apartments, boasting a gracious entry foyer and an open, airy living/dining/kitchen flow for entertaining. Luxurious interiors are further highlighted by gleaming Santos mahogany hardwood floors, coffered ceilings with recessed lighting, designer light fixtures, custom built-in storage in the living room, bedrooms & bath, and generous closet/storage space throughout. Plus an in-unit washer/dryer is allowed and would fit perfectly in the storage closet off the kitchen that can easily be retro-fitted to accommodate.

Oversized windows on northern and southern exposures invite in lovely natural light. The kitchen is a stunner appointed with ample cabinetry, sleek countertops & top appliances for the chef: BlueStar gas oven & range, Sub-Zero full-depth paneled refrigerator, Miele dishwasher & Sub-Zero wine fridge. Bedrooms face south and are bathed in afternoon sun. The primary suite is especially comfortable, complete with an extra-large en-suite bath featuring a large walk-in shower and double sinks. One of the additional bedrooms can also be an ideal office for working remotely.

Built in 1962 and converted to a cooperative in 1984, the 19-story 420 East 72nd Street is well-established and maintained with excellent financials. The building offers an elegant lobby, renovated hallways, a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in resident building manager, laundry facility & onsite parking garage (wait listed). Discounted bulk rates on cable, internet & phone service are available. Best of all is the location between 1st and York Avenues, near shopping, restaurants, food markets, the East River, FDR Drive and Q subway. Co-purchasers, pied-a-terres, & pets are permitted with board approval.

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.
