Property Description
Welcome to this gracious prewar home at 55 East 72nd Street, a premier cooperative ideally situated between Park and Madison Avenues. Originally a classic eight with three bedrooms, currently configured as a two-bedroom, this residence has been lovingly cared for by the same family for more than fifty years—now ready for its next chapter.
Enter from a semi-private elevator landing shared with only one other residence into a grand entry foyer, setting the tone for this timeless home. The double-width living room, bathed in southern light from the 15th floor, is anchored by a rare double-wide, wood-burning fireplace—the only one of its kind in the building—and showcases charming open city views.
The formal dining room, with its elegant proportions and northern exposure, is ideal for intimate entertaining and could easily serve as a den or media room. The cheery, windowed eat-in kitchen enjoys three west-facing windows and can be expanded to include the original staff room, now a fully equipped laundry and storage room with vented washer/dryer, plus a convenient powder room.
The corner primary bedroom enjoys both southern and eastern exposures, filling the space with natural light. Its windowed bath offers the opportunity for expansion. The second bedroom, currently used as a den or office, has an en suite bath. The original third bedroom has been seamlessly incorporated into the living space but can easily be restored. This home is filled with timeless pre-war details, including high ceilings, hardwood floors, and generous storage space throughout.
Imagine starting your morning with coffee from Ralph's and a freshly baked bagel from Eli's Market before taking a stroll through Central Park, just one block away. You're surrounded by Madison Avenue's luxury boutiques and some of the city's finest restaurants, the quintessential Upper East Side lifestyle.
Designed in 1924 by Alfred Joseph Bodker, 55 East 72nd Street is a distinguished neo-Renaissance limestone and brick cooperative with 24-hour doorman service, a live-in resident manager, private storage, bike room, and a beautifully furnished rooftop garden. Pets, pieds-à-terre, and up to 40% financing are permitted with board approval. A 2% flip tax is paid by the buyer.
