40 East 72nd Street offers an exclusive collection of residences that blend classic architecture with modern luxury. This development features three-bedroom full-floor homes and a duplex maisonette, each with private keyed elevator access, optional private storage, and private outdoor spaces. The building's neo-Classical style, originally designed by Schwartz and Gross in 1928, has been meticulously preserved and restored, showcasing a revitalized brick façade that adds to the luxurious landscape of the Upper East Side's Gold Coast.
The residences boast a sprawling 45 feet of linear frontage with six oversized windows, providing views over the tree-lined northern exposure of one of the Upper East Side's most elegant areas. The living spaces are marked by luxury, including a wood-burning fireplace crafted from white Carrara marble and en-suite bathrooms that elevate the living experience. A standout feature is the luxurious gallery with solid white oak, chevron-patterned flooring, which extends through the living and dining rooms to the windowed, chef's eat-in kitchen. This kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line Sub-Zero, Fisher & Paykel, and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, champagne quartzite countertops and backsplash, and a custom catering island.
The master bath is a testament to opulence, featuring a Greek marble wall, his-and-her vanities carved from Italian marble, a freestanding Waterworks tub, marble flooring in a herringbone pattern, and a private shower adorned with custom mosaic ornamentation. Additionally, south-facing French doors within the suite open up to a sun-soaked private balcony overlooking the building's garden, with secondary bedrooms offering French double doors and their own Juliet balconies.
This development not only delivers in terms of luxury amenities and breathtaking details but also situates residents within one of Manhattan's most sought-after neighborhoods, blending the charm of historical architecture with the convenience and comfort of modern design.
