Property Description for 353 East 72nd Street, 21-B

ONE BEDROOM WITH A SOUTHERN VIEW under $600K

Located at East 72nd Street, this large one bedroom apartment offers breathtaking south-facing skyline views from the 21st floor. The Fontaine, a full-service Co-op permits pied-a-terre, subletting with board approval, guarantors, gifting, co-purchasing and trusts, and allows pets.

Apartment 21B presents 30ft long southern exposures, bright light all day long and miles of Manhattan views from oversized windows in the living room and the bedroom. While it is in the move-in condition, the property is priced well for the new owner who may want the cosmetic upgrade project.

The living room offers a generous size lounge area, dining space and a large closet. It also provides a flexible option to create a home office or nursery. The open kitchen includes plenty of cabinets and a dishwasher. The bedroom is large enough to fit a king-size bed and has a walk-in closet which is rare for NYC's one bedroom apartment. It is complemented across the hall by a full-size bathroom. This home also has additional storage in the hallway and through-wall HVAC throughout. A garbage chute on every floor in the building.

The building offers a beautifully landscaped front garden and a renovated lobby, where you will be greeted by the courteous 24 hour doorman. The amenities include a common roof deck, laundry room, gym, bike room and storage room in the basement. With two elevators, a live-in super, and only four one bedroom apartments per floor, this free-standing tower building creates a friendly and private community for all residents. The building has no assessment and flip tax is $135/share ($15,795 for #21B).

The Fontaine is conveniently located one block from the modern Q train station, a cross-town express bus at its doorstep, and easy access to the 6-train, Central Park, Museum Mile, East River Promenade and John Jay park, world-class medical facilities, and many restaurants and shops.

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.
