Description

A True HOME - Offering Space, Light, Peacefulness, and SO MUCH More! Off of a semi-private landing, enter into this grand, sophisticated, pre-war apartment at 117 East 72nd Street and you are immediately welcomed by the spectacular 23' long foyer with elegant coffered ceiling and two huge walk-in closets. The HEART of this well laid out home is the gorgeous, sun filled 25' x 17' living room with beautiful classic pre-war details; high ceilings, wood burning fireplace, gorgeous hardwood floors, and pretty tree lined view. The flexibility of having three OR four bedrooms makes this apartment ideal. The bright, oversized, south facing primary bedroom, features a fantastic formal dressing area with an abundance of storage, and an additional wall of closets nearby. The large en-suite marble bathroom, with double vanity and a shower/bath combination, is windowed and spacious. Across from the primary bedroom, the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are perfectly situated with a shared hall and a windowed jack and jill bathroom. The fourth bedroom, off of the kitchen, is private, extremely bright, and complete with two closets and a full bath nearby. The generously sized, and formal dining room, can also be used as a family room, with a large walk-in closet, and ideally located right off of the huge EAT-IN kitchen. The suburban sized kitchen is bright, with a wall of North facing windows, a large island with counter seating, a built-in banquette with table and chairs, and tons of cabinet and separate pantry space. A proper laundry room and bathroom (for guests) is off of the kitchen. 117 East 72nd Street is a premier, pre-war co-op between Lexington and Park Avenues, with a full-time doorman, an incredible live-in super, and storage space. There is a 2% building flip tax and no 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.
