Description

Tucked away on the picturesque, tree-lined cul-de-sac of East 72nd Street, this charming residence offers a rare sense of tranquility in the heart of the Upper East Side. Situated near the cobblestoned East River overlook, this special Manhattan enclave feels worlds away from the bustle of the city, yet remains moments from everything the neighborhood has to offer. The residence is part of the distinctive "Black and Whites," a collection of former townhouses later converted into cooperative residences, known for their striking black-and-white facades and signature red entry doors. Situated on the fifth floor, this inviting home features ceilings over nine feet high, generously proportioned rooms, and windows in every room that provide wonderful natural light. The spacious living room is complemented by built-in bookshelves, while a separate dining alcove provides a dedicated space for everyday meals or entertaining. The south-facing, king-sized bedroom offers comfortable proportions and excellent natural light. Combining historic character, a peaceful residential setting, and the convenience of a full-time resident manager, this residence presents a unique opportunity to enjoy one of the Upper East Side's most charming enclaves. Fifth-floor walk-up. Current monthly assessment of $255 through April 2027.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
