Property Description for 36 East 72nd Street, 11-N

Truly One-of-a-Kind

There is no other apartment like this in the building or on the market. Special is an understatement. Soaring high above 72nd Street on the eleventh floor, this is a unique three- to four-bedroom floor plan with gorgeous oversized windows through which sunlight floods, a wood-burning fireplace, original herringbone floors, and eleven-foot ceilings that transport you to Europe! You enter the apartment through a private elevator to a dramatic step-down living room. Standing atop the stairs, the grand double living room is bestowed in front of you, and through three eight-over-eight-paned windows, you will see open city and sky views north and over St. James' Church.

The primary and second bathrooms are located in the eastern wing of the apartment, each with windowed bathrooms en suite. The primary bedroom has one large wall of casement windows facing south, with views of Midtown. The bathroom includes a large dressing room into which one may want to expand the bathroom.

On the other side of the living room, there is a lovely bar room or home office, formal dining room, large eat-in kitchen, and butler's pantry. The possibilities are endless in this area to open up the rooms, and the light is plentiful.

Off the bedroom hallway, there is a third large bedroom and then a smaller bedroom, which could be a laundry room, home office, or extra storage. Central air conditioning is allowed. Please inquire about estimates for Air Conditioning and window replacement.

36 East 72nd Street is an intimate, twenty-unit prewar cooperative with white-glove service, a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, private storage, and recreational area, such as backyard with basketball hoop. The building has a 2% flip tax. Pets and pieds-à-terre are allowed. Summer work rules apply.

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.
