Description

Situated in a distinguished limestone building just moments from Central Park, this truly glamorous duplex residence has been meticulously renovated and is defined by appealingly elegant scale and verdant treetop outlooks. Throughout, very tall ceilings and enchanting architectural detail, including stylish wrought iron Juliette balconies and a sweeping circular staircase to the upper level.

Accessed by semi-private elevator landing, the formal Gallery, defined by its graceful staircase, opens to a spacious step-down Living Room with marvelous proportions, a wood-burning fireplace, and three delightfully oversized windows with Juliette balconies with pretty outlooks across East 72nd Street to the magnificent Henry Sloane mansion, later the Lycée Français. Adjacent, a stately Dining Room shares these wonderful views and is perfect for formal entertaining. Beyond, the pristine white Kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and is supported by a service Pantry, a double staff room with bath, and laundry. From the Gallery, a coat closet and a stylish Powder Room are conveniently accessible.
Above, an exceptionally tranquil Primary Suite is comprised of a spacious Bedroom with treetop views over East 72nd Street, a glamorous spa-like Bathroom, and a Dressing Room. Nearby, a second Bedroom, currently used as a Sitting Room for the Primary, share the same enchanting outlooks. A third Bedroom has an ensuite bath and access to a convenient kitchenette. Beyond, there is a second Staff Room with bath and a Storage Room.

Throughout the residence, systems have been implemented to ensure utmost comfort, such as central and through-wall air conditioning and heat. These modern systems are complemented by pre-war detail, including very high ceilings, beautifully proportioned rooms, gorgeous herringbone hardwood floors, and stellar architectural details that are all part of the residence’s elegant appeal.

Built in 1929 and designed by noted architect, F. Burrell Hoffman, Jr., 4 East 72nd Street is a sought-after white glove cooperative and is one of the Upper East Side’s finest addresses. Superbly located, Central Park is moments away, as are Madison Avenue’s galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. A large basement storage unit transfers with the purchase. Pets are welcome.
