Description

A Curated Life - This Italian oasis on the Upper East Side was designed with tranquility and artistry in mind. The apartment has brand new custom flooring, kitchen appliances and the central heat and A/C units have been upgraded. The designer kitchen features Italian and high-end Bertazzoni and Smeg appliances with Fornasetti details. The apartment has three spacious double-door closets, a private vanity room and more. With its versatile L shaped layout, featuring an over-sized living room, there is abundant entertaining and storage space throughout. The windowed bedroom and salon floods the apartment with natural light. This bright, spacious and inspired apartment boasts the footage of a 1 bedroom with the maintenance of a studio. 520 East 72nd - Elegant, full-service coop has excellent financials and has undergone a comprehensive interior renovation earlier this year with updated hallways and common spaces. The building offers top-of-the-line amenities including 24-hour doorman/concierge, a live-in resident manager, a garage, up-to-the-minute laundry facility, a bike room, a library, and Zen-garden. Nestled on a private tree-lined cul-de-sac and just minutes from the exquisite newly constructed 72nd Street train station, the building overlooks the East River and has easy access to the East River Promenade. Co-purchasers, guarantors, pied-a-terres and subletting (after two years for two years) are all allowed. Pets welcome! 70% financing allowed. Citi Bikes on the block.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
