Property Description for 305 East 72nd Street, 5-ES

Welcome to residence 5E at 305 East 72nd Street, a spacious two bedroom, two bath corner unit with double exposures and high end renovations. The living space is over 30 feet long with plenty of room for a L shaped sofa, home office, dining for 6, and designated work out area. Adjacent to the living room is a state of the art, windowed kitchen with southern exposure. Thoughtfully redesigned, it’s a chef’s dream; stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, Ceasarstone Quartz countertops, Ann Sacks tiled backsplash and a 46 bottle wine refrigerator. The owners took out part of the wall in the kitchen and created a window so they could easily see into the living room. Creating that window was a smart decision; you can easily keep an eye on little ones while simultaneously letting in more light to the kitchen. Best of all, next to the kitchen is your own Miele washer/dryer. The master suite has plenty of room for a king size bed, nightstands, dresser and even a desk. Light abounds in this room with southern and western exposures. The built in California Closets provide plenty of storage. With Ann Sacks tiles and a new Room and Board vanity you’ll only need to bring your toothbrush to feel right at home. The second bedroom is large enough to fit two twin beds and it’s outfitted with soundproof city windows. No detail was overlooked in this remodel. The apartment will come with Hunter Douglas blinds throughout, white oak engineered flooring and custom built closet organizers from The Container Store. All cable electronics are installed in-wall for a clean, seamless aesthetic. The Charing Cross House cooperative provides a full time doorman, live in super, a gorgeous roof deck with garden, storage room, bike area and on-site fitness room. The lobby is elegant and timeless. Pets allowed. Pied a terre, co-purchasing and sublet allowed with board approval. Conveniently located at the crossroads of the Upper East Side and Lenox Hill, this apartment is the epitome of location, location, location. Don’t miss some of our favorite neighborhood restaurants near this lovely home; La Esquina, JG Melon, BLT Prime, Sweetgreen, and Ralph’s Coffee. Conveniently located near the Apple Store, Equinox and New York Sports Club. The Q Subway is right around the corner as well as the crosstown M72 bus. Central Park is only 4 blocks away, and Morton Williams, Citeralla and Fleishers Craft Butchery are all within 3 blocks! Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to make apartment 5E at 305 East 72nd Street your home, today.

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.
