Description

This graciously scaled six room, two bedroom, one and a half bathroom residence offers the rare opportunity to own in one of the very few prewar condominium buildings on the Gold Coast of the Upper East Side.

The home has been fully gut-renovated whilst maintaining its original character and prewar grandeur, featuring herringbone floors, decorative molding and arches, 10-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace and a formal windowed Dining Room. The Primary Bedroom has two exposures, with a large walk-in closet with abundant fashion storage.

The Primary Bathroom features brass fixtures, a marble pedestal sink, handmade Moroccan tiled-flooring and a large soaking tub. The kitchen includes fixtures by Waterworks and appliances by Bertazonni and an LG Washer/Dryer combo. The additional Powder Room beyond the kitchen can easily be converted to a full laundry room and ample space and opportunity to create a full second bathroom if desired. Additional large storage room in basement included in the sale.

This perfectly maintained apartment is located in 50 East 72nd Street between Park and Madison and is one of the finest full-service white glove buildings on the Upper East Side, and one of the only prewar condominiums. Originally conceived in 1928, the building was later converted in 1985. With 15 floors and 48 units in total, this building feels like an exclusive co-op-providing an intimate boutique environment rarely granted by a condo building. The building is impeccably staffed with a full-time doorman, porters, and a live-in super. Bike storage in the cellar, foreign buyers and 90 percent financing permitted.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
