Property Description for 50 East 72nd Street, 13/14B
We are pleased to offer this wonderful Pre-war Condominium Duplex in the heart of the Upper East Side! Originally completed in 1928 as the "owner's duplex," this gracious two-level home spans approximately 3163 square feet with 10 rooms, 2 wood-burning fireplaces, 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and marvelous natural light throughout. The feeling of a grand townhouse (with services!) makes this home irresistibly livable and perfect for entertaining.
The gracious entry foyer welcomes you with the original grand slate, wrought iron, and brass staircase. There is a lovely powder room just off the entry. The foyer leads directly into the expansive living/dining room with large windows, herringbone floors, fireplace, and original display nooks. Beyond the living room is a large and very comfortable media room featuring attractive built-ins and plenty of room for seating.
The enormous eat-in kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances, marble countertops, ample storage and work space, with a breakfast room large enough for its own seating area and office nook. Also in this highly functional space is a fantastic wet bar connecting the media room to the kitchen area.
The second level of the home consists of a luxurious primary bedroom suite containing 2 full baths, a large dressing room, and 4 substantial closets. Also on the upper level is a handsome wood paneled study (or 4th bedroom) with fireplace, and 2 cheery secondary bedrooms which are connected by a jack-and-jill bathroom with double sinks.
No detail was overlooked in the design of this exceptional home. The apartment is in excellent condition and has thru-wall combination AC/Heating units in each room. There is a washer/dryer in the home and 3 storage units will transfer with the sale.
Located between Madison and Park Avenues, just seconds from Central Park and some of the finest shops, restaurants, and museums in New York City, 50 East 72nd Street is a pet-friendly, well-maintained pre-war condo with a full-time doorman, live-in super, bike room, and central laundry facility.

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.
