This sprawling 5-bedroom, 5.5 bath residence at 45 East 72nd Street is not to be missed. At just under 4,000 square feet, it offers a versatile layout and impeccable renovation. Enter from a semi-private elevator vestibule (there is only one other apartment on the floor) into a sleek foyer - off of which is a discreet powder room - that leads to the grand gallery, anchoring the home's common areas. The adjacent 41-foot long great room faces south over double-wide 72nd Street, comfortably accommodates separate living and dining spaces, and is ideal for entertaining. The windowed and masterfully designed eat-in kitchen is truly a chef's dream with its custom storage and Hettich cabinetry, large central island, and top-of-the-line appliances (including side-by-side Liebherr refrigerators, double ovens, dishwasher and a 5-burner cooktop, all by Miele). Additionally, there is a concealed laundry closet and a pantry. A guest room, perfect as a bedroom, study or library, and a full bath complete the southern wing of the apartment. A hallway leads to the home's more private quarters, including the oversized primary bedroom suite which has charming open north views of the city, a massive customized walk-in closet, and an ensuite marble bathroom with a separate water closet and a glass encased shower. Three additional well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which have ensuite baths, a hallway bathroom, and plentiful closets and built-ins. Other notable features of this top-tier renovation include a Lutron system including lighting, motorized roller shades and window treatments, multiple zones of speakers already wired and installed, beautiful oak flooring, and an enormous amount of custom storage and built-ins throughout. What's more, the apartment comes with two large storage units in the basement. 45 E 72nd Street is a full-service, intimate co-op with 18 floors and only up to 3 apartments per floor. Perfectly located between Park and Madison, the pet-friendly building recently underwent a beautiful lobby renovation, and the current Local Law 11 project is almost complete. Known for its meticulous maintenance and its helpful staff, the building features 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, newly renovated gym, bike room, laundry room, and additional storage. Up to 65% financing and co-purchasing are permitted. A 2% flip tax is paid by the buyer.
