Description

SPACIOUS AND SUNNY WITH A PRIVATE OUTDOOR TERRACE!

Welcome to 305 East 72nd Street Penthouse C, an exceptional corner apartment at 'The Charing Cross', perfectly nestled in the Lenox Hill neighborhood on the desirable Upper East Side. This splendid one-bedroom, one-bath coop apartment offers over 1000 square feet of living space and is a true urban oasis, with sweeping views from your private terrace of the city, sky, and rooftops below. Sun-drenched and filled with natural light from triple exposures to the south, east, and west, this warm and inviting home is a true retreat, ready to be enjoyed by its next lucky owner.

A very large and open foyer greets you as you enter the apartment, and offers the perfect place to sit while you put down your packages, take off your shoes, and hang your coat in one of the two large closets while taking in the views from the bank of windows just ahead. This spacious entry is large enough to be used as a work-from-home office area and/or library as well.

Adjacent is the multi-windowed dining alcove, with ample space to set a table for 10 and host delightful dinner parties. If desired, this area can also easily be converted into a 2nd bedroom or separate home-office (see alternate floor plan). The cherry on top is the adjacent private corner terrace, a perfect place to host dinner parties and watch the sunset, or start your day here with a morning coffee, offering wonderful views of the city that surrounds you and the sky above.

The living room is expansive, and easily accommodates a large sectional sofa, a full media center, and plenty of additional seating in which to relax and enjoy the respite from the city below. A separate windowed kitchen with two exposures boasts custom cherry cabinets with under-cabinet lighting and tons of storage, black granite countertops, a Sub Zero fridge, gas range and separate oven, Miele dishwasher, and a built in microwave.

The king-sized bedroom is on the other side of the apartment, with a large wall of windows, a vast double sized custom California Closet, with plenty of extra room for an additional dresser or vanity and reading nook. The entire apartment is freshly painted and has brand new hard wood parquet flooring throughout.

The Charing Cross is a meticulously maintained co-op, offering full-service luxury living. Enjoy the convenience of a full-time doorman and a live-in resident manager, as well as an on-site gym, central laundry facilities, storage area, and bike storage (small fee and subject to availability). Pets are welcome. Subletting permitted (subject to board approval) and up to 75% financing is allowed. Perfectly located on the vibrant Upper East Side, you are truly at the crossroads of every amenity the city has to offer, with easy access to world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment. For those who relish the outdoors, Central Park is just moments away, as well as the East River Promenade and Carl Schurz Park. The Second Ave Subway (Q train) is just outside the front door, providing effortless access to the rest of the city in minutes. This is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle.

Don't miss the opportunity to own this breathtaking penthouse coop. Showings and Open Houses are by appointment only.
