Property Description for 422 East 72nd Street, 40B/41AB

Spanning approximately 6,050 square feet of interior space and 730 square feet of private outdoor space across five balconies and a large terrace, the home offers sweeping, unobstructed views in all four directions. From sunrise over the East River to sunset across Central Park, the skyline unfolds around you, with bridges, parks, and iconic buildings visible from every room. A private keyed elevator opens directly onto a dedicated landing, offering an exceptional level of privacy and security. The upper level is both expansive and intuitive in its layout. A formal living room and dedicated dining room are connected by a gracious foyer, creating a sense of separation and arrival. The kitchen opens to a separate dining area and comfortable den, forming a more relaxed great room for everyday living. The scale of these spaces, combined with the outdoor areas, allows for seamless indoor outdoor flow and the ability to entertain on a level rarely found in condominium living. A dramatic curved staircase anchors the home, with custom wrought iron detailing and a double height opening that draws light through both levels. Positioned alongside a window overlooking the river and skyline, the space captures both architectural detail and open views in a single, striking moment. The kitchen is designed for both serious cooking and effortless hosting, with a full suite of top tier appliances, a walk in pantry, and a second pantry with an additional Sub Zero refrigerator, ideal for entertaining at scale. Adjacent to the kitchen, an elegant custom lacquered bar is complemented by a 400 bottle Sub Zero wine cooler, creating a refined setting for entertaining. The primary suite is a quiet retreat with its own terrace, open western and southern views, dual dressing rooms, and a windowed, spa like bath with double vanity, soaking tub, separate shower, and separate water closet. A secondary bedroom on this level is equally well-proportioned, with its own private balcony and an en-suite windowed bath. A secondary private access point offers additional flexibility and convenience. The lower level is devoted to three generously scaled bedrooms, each with true king-sized proportions, space for additional furnishings, and open views from every room. Thoughtfully separated for privacy, this level offers a sense of comfort and flexibility that is difficult to replicate. The Oxford Condominium is a full service, white glove building offering 24 hour doorman and concierge, a live in resident manager, fitness center with pool and sauna, landscaped sundeck, basketball and pickleball courts, playroom, resident lounge, and on site parking. Ideally located on the Upper East Side, the building is surrounded by some of the area’s most well regarded private and public schools, along with a wide range of dining and shopping. Transportation is seamless, with the Second Avenue Q line nearby, access to the 4, 5, and 6 trains, and the 72nd Street crosstown bus on the corner, providing convenient connectivity throughout the city.

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.
