Property Description for 535 East 72nd Street, 5-A
Mint Condition Gigantic 1 BR/ Conv. 2BR
Apartment 5A is an approximately 900sqft prewar 1 bedroom with the potential to be converted into 2 bedrooms. The apartment is in mint condition having just been renovated with Hickory matte wood floors, marble bathroom floors, recessed lighting and brand new windows throughout. The windowed kitchen has been rebuilt to feature an island, breakfast bar, contemporary modern appliances including a dishwasher, banquette table with built-in seating and additional storage with automatic drawers. The care and design of the renovations cannot be emphasized enough. Sliding pocket doors have been added so that the foyer, kitchen and bathroom can be closed off from the rest of the apartment entirely or individually. The remaining doors have been restored into original fire doors which are artfully incorporated into the design of the apartment. More practical details include a washer/dryer, completely updated electrical, built-in home office desk and a splendid wood-burning fireplace located at the western end of the living room.
535 East 72 is located in a historic 1894 landmark townhouse complex called The Black and Whites on the 72nd street cul-de-sac of the East River. Part of the living room be converted into a 2nd bedroom which was the original floor plan of 5A. Please note, there is a 3% flip tax, and pets, pied-a-terres and through-the-wall AC are allowed. However, the board will not accept guarantors or maintenance in escrow in lieu of adequate financial recourses.

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.
