Property Description for 59 East 72nd Street, 4-C
BACK ON THE MARKET! Located in one of the city’s premier neighborhoods, this boutique, pre-war, pet-friendly elevator building, on a wide but quiet street between Park and Madison Avenues, gives you access to everything you need. The perfect pied-a-terre or first home, this rarely-available high-ceiling 2 BR/1.5 BA apartment is a gem ready for your particular polish.
With ceilings that soar to more than 10 feet, you’re welcomed into the ample living room of the pin-drop quiet home that features a tasteful marble-clad half bathroom. With your kitchen discreetly tucked behind the main room, there is more than enough space to elegantly entertain your guests or just enjoy this serene getaway in the heart of the Upper East Side.
Down the gallery hallway is your separated living quarters. The primary bedroom, which can fit a king-size bed, is preceded by a well-proportioned second bedroom, with the option of turning the bedrooms and bathroom into an enormous single suite. The apartment configuration, unique to the building, is flexible enough to accommodate a range of creative visions. Virtually staged photos of the living room and primary bedroom appear before the current iterations.
Only steps from your door are all the benefits of the Upper East Side. Situated just two blocks from Central Park, there is ready access to luxury shopping and dining on Madison Avenue. On Fifth Avenue’s Museum Mile you’ll find the wide range of museums from the Frick to the Metropolitan to the Guggenheim and beyond. Nearby to the east, all the key amenities of city living are readily available: shopping, restaurants, banks, and nightlife. Transportation options abound: within a few blocks are the 6 and Q trains, four uptown and downtown bus lines, and the crosstown M72. The area is also extremely convenient to many of New York’s top public and private schools.
The building, which has recently completed repointing as well as renovations to windows, hallways, and the elevators, is pied-a-terre friendly and welcomes cats and small dogs. 75% financing is allowed and seller pays the 2% flip tax. There are washers/dryers in the basement and the apartment also comes with a private storage locker downstairs.

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.
