One block from Central Park, between Park and Madison, this charming, Classic-6, pre-war cooperative is a true gem. The semi-private landing of this elegant apartment leads to a hand-painted papered entrance gallery with grand custom mahogany woodworking, abundant storage, and hand-blown glass doors. This stately entrance connects you to the well-proportioned living room fitted with a classic marble wood burning fireplace. The combined dining room and kitchen area enjoys cheerful dual eastern and northern exposures with great light and city views. This chef's kitchen includes custom hand-painted cabinetry and plentiful storage with Sub Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, including a Miele washer & dryer. Both bedrooms as well as the staff bedroom have windowed, en-suite full baths boasting Lefroy Brooks fittings and Ann Sacks custom tiles. This apartment has both great light and is quiet, a wonderful and homey combination. Throughout the apartment is high beamed ceilings, well preserved pre-war classic moldings, deluxe hardware reminiscent of the era, Pella windows, PTAC through-the-wall air conditioning and an abundance of well-located built-in storage. With large windows in every room, the direct and reflective light makes this space a comfortable and warm home. 55 E 72nd Street is a well-maintained, white glove, 24-hour doorman building in the finest upper east side location. This building includes a resident superintendent, storage that transfers with the apartment and a rooftop garden.
