Property Description for 305 East 72nd Street, 13-I
PRICED TO SELL! Enjoy beautiful open city views, magical at night, from this bright and quiet, corner double-exposure studio at Charing Cross House, an impeccable full-service doorman building located on East 72nd Street, one of the most beautiful double-wide residential blocks in the city.
Ideal as a first home or pied-à-terre, this ~488 square feet studio includes an entry foyer, a generous living area with hardwood floors, and a wall of built-ins accommodating a queen bed, a work-from-home desk, and ample storage. The window above the built-in desk offers diagonal city views and cross-ventilation.
The built-in bed allows the studio to function as a spacious living/dining room during the day and a cozy bedroom suite at night. If you prefer a more conventional studio layout, the wall of built-ins can easily be removed.
The kitchen features stainless appliances, ample cabinetry, granite countertops and a ceramic tile floor. The windowed bathroom features classic white-tiled walls, white marble-tiled floor, and an oversized closet. There are also two over-sized closets in the entry foyer area.
Charing Cross House is a well-managed, full-service co-op offering 24-hour doorman service, a stately marble lobby, state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, on-site laundry room, bike and storage rooms, and a live-in resident manager.
You’re also just minutes away from Whole Foods, Citarella’s, Grace’s Marketplace, Target, Equinox and countless restaurants and shops. For recreation and relaxation, Central Park, the crown jewel of Manhattan, is just a few blocks away.
The building is conveniently located across the street from the 72nd Street subway station for the Q train, which provides you with easy connection access to many major subway lines throughout Manhattan. There are also several Citi Bike stations nearby, including one across the street. The M72 crosstown bus stop is just across the street as well. The 6 train on Lexington Avenue is also easily accessible. The low monthly maintenance fee of $1,002.02 makes this home even more compelling. The building permits pets and pied-a-terres. There is a monthly assessment for capital improvements of $144.05 per month through February 2026.

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.
