Grand & Distinguished Full Floor 4 Bed, 4 Bath Prewar Masterpiece

A rare offering of exceptional scale and timeless elegance, this impeccably renovated 12-room full-floor residence seamlessly blends the grandeur of unrivaled prewar architecture with the comfort and functionality of modern living.

A private elevator landing opens to an impressive gallery that graciously separates the entertaining rooms from the private bedroom wing, creating a thoughtful and sophisticated floor plan. Designed for both grand-scale entertaining and intimate gatherings, the magnificent west-facing living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, flows effortlessly into the formal dining room and richly appointed library. Spanning approximately 50 feet with five oversized windows, these extraordinary rooms enjoy natural light and showcase remarkable proportions, high ceilings, and refined elegance rarely found today.

The state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, marble countertops and abundant storage and features top-of-the-line appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Wolf 6-burner gas cooktop and oven, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Subzero wine fridge. Adjacent to the kitchen, a sun filled windowed eating area with a built-in banquet provides the perfect setting for comfortable everyday dining. A separate private wing enhances everyday living and includes a generous laundry room with a full-size Maytag washer and dryer, extensive storage, and a staff bedroom or flexible home office with a full bath or powder room.

The private quarters are equally impressive. The luxurious corner primary suite is a tranquil retreat featuring a wood-burning fireplace, beautiful natural light from multiple exposures, generous custom closets in a private dressing room, and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath. Two additional oversized corner bedrooms, each with en-suite baths and bespoke millwork, offer exceptional comfort, abundant closet space, and wonderful light throughout the day.
Additional highlights of this extraordinary home include four exposures, central air conditioning in the principal rooms with through-the-wall air conditioning elsewhere, beautiful hardwood floors, approximately 9'4" ceilings, and impeccably preserved prewar details that lend warmth, character, and enduring elegance throughout.

Situated at 141 East 72nd Street, this intimate white-glove prewar cooperative offers the ultimate in privacy with just one residence per floor.
