Property Description for 305 East 72nd Street, 13-I

Enjoy million-dollar city views from this bright, corner double-exposure studio at Charing Cross House, an impeccable full-service doorman building located on East 72nd Street, one of the most beautiful double-wide residential blocks in the city and in the heart of the highly coveted Upper East Side. This lovely studio provides a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. Oversized windows facing north and east provide ample light and views, while the well-planned layout amplifies the home’s generously-sized living space. Enter the gracious foyer, flanked by two large closets, and take in the spacious main room outfitted with a wall of custom cabinetry which features a built-in queen-sized Murphy bed, a built-in work-from-home desk and ample storage. The cleverly hidden space-saving Murphy bed enables the studio to serve as a large living/dining room by day and an inviting bedroom suite by night. The well-proportioned, renovated kitchen far outshines that typically found in a studio, featuring stainless appliances, ample cabinetry, granite countertops and tasteful ceramic tile flooring. The renovated bathroom features classic white tiled walls and a faux-marble tiled floor, as well as an unexpected oversized closet. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, and through-the-wall air conditioning provides year-round comfort. Charing Cross House is a full-service luxury co-op building offering 24-hour doorman service, a stately marble lobby, state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, on-site laundry room, bike and storage rooms, and a live-in super. The new state-of-the-art, eco-conscious roof deck garden is outfitted with vertical green walls and multiple seating areas creating a lush oasis for residents. The roof also provides solar panels and a rainwater retention system. You’re also just minutes away from Equinox, Citarella’s, Grace’s Market, Gracious Home, Target and countless other restaurants and shops. For recreation and relaxation, head to the nearby East River promenade to the east or Central Park to the west. The building is conveniently located across the street from the 72nd Street subway station for the Q train, which provides you with easy connection access to many major subway lines throughout Manhattan. There are also several Citi Bike stations nearby. The M72 crosstown bus stop is just across the street as well. The 6 train on Lexington Avenue is also easily accessible. Low monthlies.

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.
