59 East 72nd St. #4C

BACK ON THE MARKET! Located in one of the city’s premier neighborhoods, this charming pre-war, pet-friendly elevator building, on a wide tree-lined block between Park and Madison Avenues, gives you access to everything you need. This rarely-available, high-ceiling 2 BR/1.5 BA apartment is a gem ready for your particular polish.

With ceilings that soar to more than 10 feet, you’re welcomed into the ample living room of the pin-drop quiet home that features a tasteful marble-clad half bathroom. With your kitchen discreetly tucked behind the main room, there is a seamless flow to elegantly entertain your guests or just enjoy this serene getaway in the heart of the Upper East Side.

A gallery-style hallway separates the living and sleeping quarters. The primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed and offers excellent proportions, while the equally versatile second bedroom can also serve as a guest room or office. The flexible layout, unique within the building, invites a variety of personal design visions. Virtually staged photos of the living room and primary bedroom appear before the current iterations.

Only steps from your door are all the benefits of the neighborhood. Situated just two blocks from Central Park, you’re right around the corner from luxury shopping and dining on Madison Avenue. On Fifth Avenue’s Museum Mile you’ll find the wide range of museums from the Frick to the Metropolitan to the Guggenheim and beyond. Nearby, to the east, all the other conveniences of city living are readily available: shopping, restaurants, banks, and nightlife. Transportation options abound: within a few blocks are the 6 and Q trains, numerous uptown and downtown bus lines, and crosstown bus stops right up the block. The location also provides ready access to many of the city’s most well-known public and private schools.

The building, which a few years ago underwent repointing as well as renovations to windows, hallways, and the elevators, welcomes cats and small dogs. 75% financing is allowed and seller pays the 2% flip tax. There is currently an assessment of $393.69 per month ending 12/31/2025. There are washers/dryers in the basement and the apartment also comes with a private storage locker downstairs for a small annual fee.
