40 East 72nd Street is a luxurious new development that offers a limited collection of 3-bedroom full-floor homes and a duplex maisonette, all with private keyed elevator access, private storage, and private outdoor space. This neo-Classical building, built in 1928 by Schwartz, has been carefully preserved and restored to maintain its architectural appeal, revitalizing a brick façade that encompasses the luxurious landscape of the Upper East Side's Gold Coast.
Each residence features six oversized windows overlooking the tree-lined northern exposure of the Upper East Side's most elegant area, providing a sprawling 45 feet of linear frontage. The interiors boast a luxurious gallery featuring solid white oak, chevron-patterned flooring, which flawlessly extends throughout the living room and dining room to the windowed, chef's eat-in kitchen.
The kitchen is a chef's dream, with custom center island and cabinetry, Sub-Zero, Fisher & Paykel and Wolf appliances, champagne quartzite countertops, and backsplash. The master bath is equally stunning, with a Greek marble wall reflecting the windowed space, his-and-her vanities carved from Italian marble, a freestanding Waterworks tub, marble flooring in a herringbone pattern, and a private shower with custom mosaic ornamentation.
Other features of this luxurious building include a wood-burning fireplace sculpted from white carrara marble and en-suite bathrooms. French doors within the suite graciously look out to a sun-soaked private balcony and the building's garden. Secondary bedrooms come with French double doors and their own Juliet balcony, while the large utility room includes a 27-inch stainless steel Whirlpool washer and vented dryer.
40 East 72nd Street is the ultimate acquisition for those seeking luxury and comfort in their day-to-day lives. The building's south-facing French doors, stunning finishes, and breathtaking amenities make this new development a must-see for those looking for the best of the Upper East Side.
