Property Description for 269 West 72nd Street, 16-A
DECIDEDLY DOWNTOWN VIBE: BRIGHT PRE-WAR BY PARK
HANDSOME, HIGH-FLOOR, SUN-KISSED SOUTH-FACER
How does a super prime location by Riverside Park — on uber-convenient West 72nd Street — offer such a sweet, peaceful, residential secret like this one? How does a somewhat predictable pre-war area suddenly have amongst its offerings this rare downtown-vibing home? How is a value-forward home like this quietly positioned right here in the middle of it all? Just when you thought you could not be surprised…
Proudly perched high above it all, this Schwartz & Gross 1924 space has been lovingly designed. The heart-warming period detail and beamed ceilings are intact, but the design and layout have a new sensibility -- a stretch-out, bright plan that makes sense for today. The sky and city views are impressive, as is the timeless — but not-boring — soul of this feel-good find.
Enter the foyer and flow easily to the sizable open living dining space. Big entertaining and intimate moments both happen organically here. Served by a well-scaled, practical, attractive, windowed kitchen (with big pantry, top-shelf appliances by Wolf & Bosch & Porcelanosa backsplash/floor), life here is easy and fun.
The big, bright bedroom suite offers an en-suite, windowed, classic bath with a refurbished, vintage, cast-iron soaking tub, and simple — yet superlative — design (Hansgrohe fixtures & Porcelanosa tiles/floor). With dual entry, the bath gives guests easy access without having to enter bedroom.
Underfoot are handsome 5” wide hardwood planks, above you ceilings are high, and all around there is light and loveliness. Closets and storage are ample, laundry is in the building, the super is live-in, there are bike and storage rooms, and nearby are the area’s most convenient offerings. Riverside Park is practically next door, Trader Joe’s is up the street (+ Fairway, Citarella & HMart), the 1/2/3 and B/C trains are close, so is Central Park, as are the Upper Westside’s best dining, shopping, cultural, entertainment and fitness destinations.
Think you’ve seen it all on the Upper West? Think again. Welcome to a decidedly downtown uptown surprise.

Quick Profile
Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.
Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.
There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
