Property Description for 524 East 72nd Street, 38-ABG

Discover unparalleled luxury in this grand four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence, spanning over 2,600 sq ft in the prestigious Belaire Condominium. Situated in the heart of Manhattans Upper East Side and boasting panoramic views across three exposures, Unit 38ABG offers not merely a residence but a veritable masterpiece of refined living.

Enter the Belaires most coveted line, featuring expansive views to the south, north, and easteach vista more breathtaking than the last. On clear days, the East River stretches out towards the Brooklyn Bridge, and annually, the residence affords front-row seats to the spectacular July 4th fireworks. However, the allure of this property extends beyond its external views. The meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful detailing throughout every room are testament to the profound care and passion invested in customizing this exceptional home.

Upon entering, you are greeted by an entry hall of sophisticated elegance, adorned with Italian-crafted white marble flooring with subtle pink shading and inlaid Galaxy granite black diamonds. An iconic, modern recessed niche designed for displaying decorative arts leads to the abstract, walnut-framed Japanese accent panel inset with onyx stone at the corridors end.

Turning right unveils awe-inspiring river & city views to the south and east. The capacious living space, measuring over 410 square feet, currently accommodates a baby grand piano and a complete living room set with space to spare.

The exquisite cherry herringbone wood floor with a walnut border guides you to the galley-style, windowed kitchen, appearing virtually new. It features solid wood cabinetry in rich, deep tones, black granite countertops, and a suite of high-end appliances, including a double-sized Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Thermador 6-burner range with Zephyr hood, a built-in Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, and a Miele dishwasher. A pocket door provides privacy when entertaining.

Adjacent, a formal dining room comfortably accommodates a table for at least ten people, complemented by a full wet bar/butlers pantry and additional bench seating with storage. A north and east-facing wall of windows creates the quintessential Manhattan backdrop for your gatherings.

Branching off the entry hall are the private living quarters, with four bedrooms, each featuring an en-suite bathroom.

Choose between two opulent primary bedrooms:

- The south-facing suite offers a double-exposure sanctuary, including a solarium-like arched vestibule with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. It features four total closets with invisible hinges, including two double-sized with built-in California-style wood interiors, and a cedar-lined walk-in with a shelved-linen closet. The en-suite bathroom boasts a separate stand-up shower, a soaking jetted bathtub, and a heated towel rack.

- The grand north-facing suite at the end of a small hallway captivates with extensive views towards uptown as well as Roosevelt Island and Queens. This suite includes exquisitely crafted built-ins providing ample storage, a built-in entertainment center, & a four-section library hutch/desk. A hidden spa-like bathroom features heated floors, a double-sized marble-tiled shower with steam pump & seat, and a heated towel rack. An adjacent cozy home office with a picturesque view & a tucked-away laundry closet with a stacked LG vented washer/dryer complete the suite.

The remaining two bedrooms each offer ample space, built-in storage, & private bathrooms.

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.
