55 E 72ND Street #8/9N

DRAMATIC PRICE REDUCTION FOR DUPLEX IN PERFECT CONDITION Located on 72nd Street, one and a half blocks from Central Park, this chic apartment was created from two classic six room apartments in an intimate, full service, prewar building. Perfectly combined, the residence is now an 8 room duplex with 2 or 3 bedrooms, impeccably renovated to the highest standards including central air conditioning independently controlled in each room. The sun-flooded windowed entrance gallery on the lower floor features a graciously curving staircase and opens to the Living Room and to the elegant Southern pine paneled library with its wet bar, custom cabinetry and leaded window. A large powder room is nearby. The Living Room with its woodburning fireplace, coffered ceiling and beautiful moldings is side by side with the corner Formal Dining Room providing the ideal ambience and space for entertaining. The renovated kitchen and breakfast room have cheerful open exposures and are equipped with custom cabinets, top appliances including washer/dryer, and ample storage. Upstairs, a second informal living room or media room with its working gas fireplace and bar is the ideal setting for entertaining friends and family. The upper floor also features a gracious and bright corner Primary Bedroom with custom his and hers dressing rooms and bathrooms complete with steam showers, as well as a large second primary bedroom with bath ensuite. The downstairs library could easily become a third bedroom with a full bath ensuite recreated from the wet bar. The apartment is wired for AV, with speakers and surround-sound through a touch pad system in each room. The resident manager and the outstanding staff provide excellent service. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a duplex in mint condition. The serious sellers have just reduced the price dramatically.
