Property Description for 530 East 72nd Street, Penthouse

Distinctiveness and N.Y. History await you at The Edgewater Upper East Side Co-op.

Each new day greets you with dramatic, endless sunrise views over the East River. Nightfall brings the twilight of the stars and glimmering lights from passing boats and the Roosevelt Island skyline.

This sprawling 3,200 sq. ft. penthouse features four bedrooms, four bathrooms and two half bathrooms on three levels along with an additional 2,400 sq. ft. of expansive wraparound terrace. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase river views from the oversized living room, dining room and all bedrooms, giving way to sweeping sunlight that fills the apartment throughout the day.

The first floor features a living space encompassing a marble wood-burning fireplace, beamed ceilings, and a dining area that seats ten comfortably. The custom kitchen is a work of art functional for chefs of all ranks. Stainless steel appliances include a six-burner stove, dishwasher, and wine refrigerator. The generous four bedrooms all have their own en-suite baths. The two level master suite features 18ft. floor-to-ceiling windows and iconic views. This penthouse offers two powder rooms, numerous closets including custom walk-ins, recessed lighting, and luxury fixtures throughout.

Additional features of the recently renovated apartment include an exact replica of the famous Apple store glass spiral staircase, a NuVo whole home audio system, iPad temperature and lighting controls, motorized window shades and solar panels, and multiple chandeliers and 18’ ceilings.

This penthouse’s dramatic design is exceeded only by it’s illustrious past. Frank Sinatra, the apartment’s original owner, helped design the triplex which played host to some legendary gatherings. Frequent visitors included President John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Andy Warhol, who called the apartment "A Glittering Grotto in the Sky”. It’s the perfect apartment for the master host or hostess.

Described by StreetEasy as being "located on the very sought after 72nd Street”, the Edgewater is a premier white glove building. It offers residents 24/7 doorman and concierge service, low cost garage and a live in super. Located in a tree lined and exclusive cul-de-sac, the building is near Carl Shurz Park and Asphalt Green and within walking distance of bus and subway lines, the New York Health & Racquet Club and numerous amenities.

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.
