Property Description for 520 East 72nd Street, 17/18A

XXX MINT! TERRACE LOVER'S DREAM HOME!

Please note open houses are by appointment, thank you!

Following a meticulous, gut renovation, this stunning 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, corner duplex is ready to debut! This is truly a triple mint-condition custom renovation during which no detail was overlooked, no expense was spared and attention to detail was exquisite. This never-lived-in, sun-flooded residence enjoys northern and western exposures with partial East River views from nearly every window as well as floor-to-ceiling glass doors offering breathtaking sunsets. Luxuriate on your MASSIVE set-back terrace with beautiful city and partial East River VIEWS. This gem of an outdoor space offers enough square footage to design distinct areas for dining, lounging comfortably, and even sunbathing.

Situated in the front tower with just three other neighbors on 17th floor, and two other neighbors on the 18th floor, this is an opportunity to own a truly unique Penthouse-like property! The 17th floor includes a large loft-like living/dining room and kitchen, a gracious entrance gallery, and a luxuriously appointed windowed powder room. Any home chef or entertainer will appreciate the fully renovated windowed kitchen with all-new custom cabinetry, Quartz countertops, and high-end, stainless-steel appliances including an elegant, Italian Bertazzoni range. The modern curved staircase to the 18th floor (which, for convenience, enjoys its own separate entrance) leads you to a large landing, two generously sized bedrooms, and two beautifully appointed baths. The primary suite feels like heaven on earth when you enter, it's truly magnificent. Both spa-like bathrooms (one windowed) are equipped with walk-in showers and custom vanities.

This exquisite home is complete with high ceilings, in-unit washer-dryer, wide plank floors, tremendous built-in custom cabinets, customized closets, recessed lighting, all new electrical and individual thermostats. All windows are wired for electrical shades, and it has been hard-wired for TVs, a Sonos system and outdoor speakers. Welcome home!

As a 520 East 72nd Street Owner/Resident, I am pleased to offer this opportunity! Assessment: $525 concludes at year-end.

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.
