203 E 72ND Street #20D

This high floor corner apartment in the ever-popular Bayard House has panoramic views Northwest to the iconic buildings flanking Central Park West and East overlooking all of the Upper East Side. The only corner of the building to benefit from such open views, it is completely protected from the noise and traffic of busy city streets. Fully renovated in recent years, the crown moldings, overhead lighting, and ebonized parquet flooring provide a feel of classic elegance. The generously proportioned living room is especially wide at nearly 14 feet; built-in storage is concealed within the custom radiator cover. The windowed dining foyer is more than the length of the living room and offers endless possibilities for entertaining friends. The windowed kitchen is flooded with morning light. The bedrooms form a separate wing with the smaller bedroom having a glass-tiled bathroom. The primary bedroom suite faces both north and east with a windowed marble bathroom and custom-fitted walk-in closet. A washer/dryer is stacked in the closet adjoining the linen closet. The Bayard House combines the best of old and new. The tower apartments are approached through the landmarked building facing 72nd Street. A greenhouse walk connects both buildings and gives access to the private garden. This full service building offers doorman, concierge, live-in building manager, garage, gym, bicycle room, rooftop terrace, individual storage, and central air conditioning. The finest shopping and dining are within the neighborhood, schools are nearby, and transportation is at your door. This is truly gracious living in the heart of the Upper East Side.
