Property Description for 215 East 72nd Street, 3-E
A Classic on Prestigious 72nd Street.
This spacious and light-filled three bedroom plus library/den (or a fourth bedroom if desired) is entered through a semi-private elevator vestibule. Upon opening the door and as you step into the expansive foyer, your eye leads directly to the tree views, and abundant natural light through the south-facing windows at the end of the 30’ living room with wood burning fireplace. The library/den adjacent to the living room also features tree views from south-facing windows.
The three bedrooms are reached through the bedroom corridor from the foyer as well as from the library/den. The master bedroom en-suite with a separate shower has southern light and offers more tree views. The two guest rooms have their own baths with east-facing light. The dining room accommodates 12 easily for entertaining and is bathed in eastern light throughout the day. The kitchen with north-facing windows adjoins another full room now used for laundry and storage that includes a small bathroom. Originally a nine room apartment now eight; the two staff rooms were combined.
This distinguished pre-war 16-story building with limestone facade boasts an elegant lobby, full time doormen, live-in resident manager, private storage (transferred with the apartment), bike space and a small garden/playground for residents . Situated among new boutiques, restaurants, wellness facilities, and within close walking proximity to the major museums and galleries on the Upper East Side. This location also offers the advantages of being a short walk away from the newly opened 72nd Street subway station allowing speedy access to downtown and the far west side.
The building allows 50% financing, the 2% building transfer tax is payable by the purchaser, and small pets are welcome.

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.
