With stunning views and prime location, the strength of this gracious corner residence is multi-faceted!. The generously-sized living room has oversized windows (taking full advantage of the views), gorgeous herringbone hardwood floors and ever-functional, masterfully designed custom built-ins. Configured as a compliment to the living room, the dining room currently acts as a second casual entertaining space but could easily convert to a formal dining room, home office OR third bedroom (please see the alternative floor plan). The well appointed kitchen features top of the line stainless steel appliances, an eat-in counter plus a pantry. The southern facing, sun-drenched, primary bedroom is simply divine with a windowed ensuite bath and walk-in closet. The second oversized bedroom, perfectly situated at the other end of the home provides privacy, also features an ensuite bath and two large closets. Built in 1927, 12 West 72nd Street is a full service, 24 hour doorman building conveniently located just moments away from Central Park, and just a short distance to exquisite dining (Boulud Sud, Felice 71, La Pecora Bianca, Friend of a Farmer), plentiful shopping, and numerous cultural institutions such as the Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Center, New York Historical Society. Convenient to all transportation, navigating the city to anywhere is a breeze. Other amenities include storage and a bike room and new central laundry room. Importantly, there is no flip tax, and both pied-a-terres and pets are permitted with board approval. Please note there is an ongoing monthly assessment of $584.25 through December 2026. With this home, you have found your residential oasis!
