Property Description for 165 East 72nd Street, 2-M

Motivated seller! XXX MINT and XXX WOW at 165 East 72nd Street, 2M, a no-expense spared renovation that created a stellar, serene one bedroom haven from the busy world. The extremely low $1,222 maintenance is also a XXX WOW! Like a luxury hotel, just bring your toothbrush, and then call it home!

The entrance corridor and foyer set the tone. The skim coated walls in the palest beige imaginable are detailed by hand with custom faux finishes, and are offset by white deep baseboard moldings and new 5" white oak floors. These details are throughout this magnificent home. The square foyer comfortably accommodates the round dining table and hutch. Off to the left is the fitted walk in closet.

The top of the line kitchen continues the subdued elegant mood with stainless steel appliances, the pale beige palette, now augmented with touches of pale grey. For the barely used/pristine condition appliances, it's a Bertazzoni stove with Zephyr hood, Miele dishwasher and Liebherr refrigerator. For the finishes, quartz counter, pale grey mini striped marble backsplash, deep large sink, and white custom cabinets straight to the 8'9" ceiling.
The graciously scaled living room is wide and long, and perfect for entertaining. It has a brand new HVAC with custom cabinetry surrounding it, as does the bedroom. The comfortable bedroom with queen sized bed and a wall of fitted closets easily accessible from frosted glass sliding doors, is the place to dream.
On to the showered bathroom, with continuity of palette. Beige ceramic tiles, pale grey mini marble shower, Grohe fixtures, plus two medicine chests mirrored inside and out.

The building, wonderfully situated on the corner of 72nd Street just West of Third Avenue, is held in the highest regard of Upper East Side coops. It is renowned for consistently low maintenance, stellar financials and white-glove professional friendly service. It features full time doorman, concierge, resident superintendent, gym and garage, plus storage and bike room. It is both pied a terre and pet friendly (one dog per apartment).
Convenient to transportation, shops and restaurants, it is your perfect new home.

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.
