Ideally located on East 72nd Street between Park and Madison Avenues, this renovated pre-war, three-bedroom apartment is a must-see.
One enters the sizable gallery from a semi-private elevator vestibule. To the right of the entrance gallery, is a spacious living room with two windows facing south onto East 72nd Street. The living room features a woodburning fireplace with recessed built-ins on either side. Adjacent to the living room, is the apartment’s dining room - currently figured as a media room with a wall of built-in cabinetry and a large north facing window overlooking East 71st Street.

Additionally, a discreet closet in the kitchen hides the washer and dryer. There is also a thoughtfully designed home-office space within the kitchen and a powder room that is easily accessible via a pocket door just outside the dining room.
To the left of the entrance gallery lies the apartment’s three bedrooms. The first two bedrooms share a renovated windowed bath. Both bedrooms have generous south facing windows that look onto East 72nd Street. At the end of the hallway, the primary bedroom includes three windows with both southern and eastern exposures onto East 72nd Street and Park Avenue allowing for natural light throughout the day. The primary bedroom’s well-appointed ensuite bathroom features classic marble finishes, Waterworks fixtures, a walk-in shower, and a double vanity.
