215 E 72nd Street #3-E

A Classic on Prestigious 72nd Street. This spacious and light-filled three bedroom plus library/den (or a fourth bedroom if desired) is entered through a semi-private elevator vestibule. Upon opening the door and as you step into the expansive foyer, your eye leads directly to the tree views, and abundant natural light through the south-facing windows at the end of the 30? living room with wood burning fireplace. The library/den adjacent to the living room also features tree views from south-facing windows. The three bedrooms are reached through the bedroom corridor from the foyer as well as from the library/den. The primary bedroom en-suite with a separate shower has southern light and offers more tree views. The two guest rooms have their own baths with east-facing light. The dining room accommodates 12 easily for entertaining and is bathed in eastern light throughout the day. The kitchen with north-facing windows adjoins another full room now used for laundry and storage that includes a small bathroom. Originally a nine room apartment now eight; the two staff rooms were combined. This distinguished pre-war 16-story building with limestone facade boasts an elegant lobby, full time doormen, live-in resident manager, private storage (transferred with the apartment), bike space and a small garden/playground for residents . Situated among new boutiques, restaurants, wellness facilities, and within close walking proximity to the major museums and galleries on the Upper East Side. This location also offers the advantages of being a short walk away from the newly opened 72nd Street subway station allowing speedy access to downtown and the far west side. The building allows 50% financing, the 2% building transfer tax is payable by the purchaser, and small pets are welcome.
