Property Description for 305 East 72nd Street, 4-C

Freshly renovated, sunny and spacious one bedroom with low monthlies overlooking tree-lined and double-wide East 72nd Street at Charing Cross House, an impeccable full service doorman building located in the prime and desirable Lenox Hill neighborhood of the Upper East Side. This is one of the most efficiently run and green coops on the UES. See recent article in October’s Habitat Magazine, “Coop with a Green Roof”. https://www.habitatmag.com/Publication-Content/Green-Ideas/2019/2019-October/Co-op-With-a-Green-Roof


The layout of this turn-key apartment with 5 large closets flows nicely and features a large dining/entry foyer area, which leads to a very generously-sized living area with an oversized southern exposure window. The walls and ceilings in the living/dining area have all been freshly skim-coated and feature refurbished crown and baseboard moldings throughout, a new custom radiator/air-conditioning cover for the through-the-wall air conditioner and completely refinished hardwood floors.


The newly renovated and double-sided, windowed galley kitchen is one of the largest kitchens available in the building, providing great food prep space and storage. It features all new stainless steel appliances including a GE 5-burner range with hood vent, Silestone countertops, white subway tile backsplashes, a durable faux marble ceramic tile floor, an under-counter mounted stainless sink, recessed under-counter lighting and updated cabinetry.


The oversized bedroom, which can easily accommodate a king-sized bed as well as an office area, features generously sized closets and an over-sized southern exposure window. The ceilings and walls in the bedroom have also been freshly skim-coated, and outfitted with new baseboard moldings, a new custom radiator/air-conditioning cover for the through-the-wall air conditioner and completely refinished hardwood floors.


The bathroom has been newly renovated with white subway tiled walls, a beautiful faux marble ceramic floor, a white vanity storage cabinet, sink and mirrored medicine cabinet, Kohler toilet, as well as new sink, shower & tub chrome faucet fixtures.


Charing Cross House is a full-service luxury co-op building offering 24-hour doorman service, a stately marble lobby, state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, on-site laundry room, bike and storage rooms, and a live-in super.

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.
