Description

A beautifully renovated, full-service pre-war condominium just two short blocks from Central Park, this elegant residence blends timeless architecture with modern comfort in one of the Upper East Side’s most coveted locations.

A gracious, expansive foyer sets the tone upon entry, offering a true sense of arrival along with a generous two entery clostes that makes daily life effortlessly organized. From here, the home opens into a gracious, south-facing living room that feels both grand and inviting. A wood-burning fireplace serves as a warm focal point, perfect for gathering with family after a long day or hosting intimate evenings at home, while classic herringbone floors in the living room add character and refinement to the space. The current owners have seamlessly incorporated a dining area within the living room, comfortably accommodating six to eight guests for everyday meals or casual entertaining.

For those who love to host on a larger scale, the apartment also features a separate formal dining room. Currently used as a second living space, this versatile room can easily transform into a fourth bedroom if desired (see alternate floor plan), offering exceptional flexibility without compromising flow.

Beyond the dining room, the home transitions seamlessly into a private sleeping wing. The primary suite is well separated from the home’s main living spaces, offering a serene sense of retreat, complete with newly installed California Closets, a custom vanity closet, and a well-appointed en-suite bath. The second en-suite bedroom, positioned closer to the dining area, allows for flexibility while preserving a refined balance of privacy and convenience.

On the opposite side of the apartment, a third bedroom—or ideal home office—also enjoys an en-suite bath, making it perfect for guests or remote work. Adjacent to this space is a true butler’s pantry, offering a highly functional transition area ideal for a coffee station, wet bar, or additional serving and storage space—enhancing both daily routines and entertaining. A newly installed washer and dryer add everyday convenience.

The windowed, chef-inspired kitchen is beautifully appointed with top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom quartzite countertops, and abundant storage. Thoughtful separation between living, sleeping, and service areas creates a natural, elegant flow throughout the home.

Recent thoughtful enhancements throughout the home include Lutron dimmers and updated electrical work, all-new California Closets for seamless organization, a fireplace insert complemented by new sconces, freshly painted walls, electric blinds for convenience, and tastefully applied wallpaper in hallways area and the office. The kitchen and butler’s pantry have been refreshed with new hardware, glass shelving, and a custom shade, while drapes with coordinating rods add a polished finish throughout. Modern conveniences such as an automatic water sensor shut-off for the washer and TV mounts further enhance everyday living.

Built in 1928 and converted to condominium use in 1985, 50 East 72nd Street is an intimate and elegant full-service building with just 48 residences across 15 floors. Classic floor plans, high ceilings, and typically only two residences per floor distinguish this building from most other condominiums. Financing is permitted, and pets are welcome.

Ideally located in the epicenter of the Upper East Side, the residence is moments from Central Park, Ralph Lauren Coffee, Sant Ambroeus, and some of the city’s most iconic destinations, including The Carlyle, The Mark, and The Pierre. World-class cultural institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Frick Collection, along with Madison Avenue’s renowned boutiques, complete a lifestyle defined by elegance, convenience, and enduring sophistication.
