Property Description for 515 East 72nd Street, 29-G

Make breathtaking views and stunning interiors your daily backdrop in this beautifully renovated Upper East Side two-bedroom, two-bathroom high-floor home with a stunning wraparound terrace. Iconic vistas that skim south and west across the East River and the Queensboro Bridge to the skyscrapers of Midtown welcome you home in this serene 1,081-square-foot showplace. Here, the kitchen and great room have been wisely opened up and thoughtfully renovated to take full advantage of these spectacular surroundings, and the perfect corner terrace, featuring glass balustrade panels and wood decking, allows fantastic light and expansive open-sky views to flow effortlessly throughout. Inside, deep-stained wide-plank hardwood paves the floors, and the convenient living room built-ins and the chic kitchen cabinetry are finished in the same fine walnut to provide a consistent, impactful design scheme. A honed gray granite-topped center island and white Corian counters surround top-notch stainless steel appliances, including a Liebherr refrigerator, Thermador oven, Miele dishwasher and built-in GE microwave.

This home's coveted split layout places bedrooms at opposite corners of the apartment. In the master suite, enjoy serene southern views, two large closets - including a walk-in - and a gorgeous stone en suite bathroom with a glass walk-in rain shower. The second bedroom features a western exposure, wide reach-in closet and easy access to the well-appointed guest bathroom. An in-unit Bosch washer-dryer and additional closet space, plus a private storage bin included with the sale of this home, deliver effortless ease in this stunning high-floor oasis in the clouds.

515 East 72nd Street is a modern high-rise condominium offering a near endless roster of services and amenities that deliver a resort-like atmosphere, including 24-hour concierge, doormen, porters and on-site valet parking. Residents of the pet-friendly enclave also enjoy a beautifully landscaped private half-acre park with lawn, yoga space and outdoor lounge. There's a residents' health and wellness center, fitness center and playroom. Enjoy an Olympic-size indoor pool, hot tubs, sauna and steam rooms, indoor courts for squash and basketball, and a full-service Elements Spa just an elevator ride away.

Located on a serene Upper East Side cul de sac, there's a lovely riverside plaza at the end of the block and access to the spectacular East River promenade on the next street. Fantastic shopping, dining and entertainment fill the neighborhood, and transportation from this residential haven is a breeze with the new Q train, the 6 train, plus ample express and crosstown bus service, all within easy reach.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

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.
