Property Description for 340 East 72nd Street, 4-F
Step back in time to old New York at this stunningly elegant Classic Seven home with 4 full bathrooms and an additional, windowed storage room (or secluded home office) at the lobby level. This beautiful, prewar home boasts a gracious layout with grand proportions, high, beamed ceilings and hardwood floors throughout, as well as desirable updates like through-the-wall air conditioning and an in-unit Miele Washer and Dryer.
The gracious entry foyer opens into an impressive living room with wood-burning fireplace and oversized windows overlooking leafy, tree-lined East 72nd Street. Just off of the living room, the formal dining room also enjoys tree-lined northern views and is the perfect setting for your next dinner party.
The large windowed kitchen has been updated with professional-grade, stainless steel appliances including Subzero refrigerator and Miele dishwasher, stone countertops, recessed lighting, and plentiful modern cabinetry.
A bonus room, originally the maids room, is tucked in-between the kitchen and dining room and makes an ideal office or guest room, complete with a renovated, ensuite full bathroom with large, tiled standing shower.
There are three spacious bedrooms, each with a designated full bathroom. The primary bedroom suite has ample storage, dual exposures and nicely updated ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is also generous in size with an updated ensuite bathroom, and the serene, third bedroom also has a bathroom just outside the door.
340 East 72nd Street is a pristine, white glove cooperative with 24-hour doorman, resident manager, attentive building staff, peaceful backyard courtyard, gym, and bike storage. In addition to 4F's private storage/flex room on the lobby level, each apartment in the building is also assigned a large storage cage in the basement at no cost.
*Please note this building only permits 50% financing. 2% flip tax paid by purchaser.

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.
