Property Description for 125 East 72nd Street, 8-D
This sun-filled, high floor, ten-into-nine room residence offers a sophisticated lifestyle at the prime heart of the Upper East Side. The coveted “D”-line in this full service and prestigious cooperative has over a dozen windows looking south onto 72nd Street, from all of the major rooms. This is a rare-to-find, beautifully scaled, prewar gem. The apartment features high ceilings, wide-plank oak chevron floors in the entertaining rooms and an abundance of prewar details throughout. Bring your designer or architect!
An ideal and classic layout affords a perfect flow for entertaining on a grand scale as well as for day to day life. Entering the home from a semi-private elevator vestibule, a huge and elegant entry gallery leads to the perfectly proportioned 26-foot long living room, featuring three oversized windows and a wood-burning fireplace. Double doors open to a formal dining room. Also off of the gallery is the light flooded library. A windowed eat-in kitchen includes a breakfast area, walk-in pantry closet, abundant storage, and a butler’s pantry providing access to the dining room. Adjacent to the kitchen is a staff room, a windowed bathroom and a laundry area.
Opposite the entertaining rooms, a hallway leads from the entry gallery past a guest powder room and a large walk-in linen closet to the bedroom wing. The large master suite features a long hallway of closets, built-ins, and a six piece master bath with soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, bidet and double sinks. Both guest bedrooms include generous closet space and en-suite baths.
Perfectly located at the heart of the Upper East Side, this elegant 14-story full-service cooperative is one of the oldest apartment houses in the neighborhood, designed by architects Schwartz and Gross and completed in 1917. Amenities include a full time doorman, superintendent, gym, bike room, and storage. Two storage units convey with the apartment. Maintenance includes electric. 2% transfer fee payable to the cooperative. There is an assessment of $457.25 in place until December 31st 2019.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
