Charing Cross House at 305 East 72nd St. #8I

Enjoy million dollar city views from this bright and beautiful corner double-exposure studio in the heart of the coveted Upper East Side.

This lovely studio provides a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. Oversized windows facing north and east provide ample sunshine and views while the well-planned layout amplifies the home’s generously-sized living space. Enter the gracious foyer, flanked by two large closets, and take in the spacious main room outfitted with a custom Murphy bed that ingeniously converts from a wall unit into a comfortable queen-sized bed. This clever space-saver enables the studio to serve as a large living/dining room by day and an inviting bedroom suite by night.

The well-proportioned, renovated kitchen far outshines that typically found in a studio home with stainless appliances surrounded by marble countertops and flooring, and sleek floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry. The renovated bathroom is a chic affair with glass-tiled walls, marble floor and a spacious glass-enclosed shower, plus another roomy closet. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, and through-the-wall air conditioning provides year-round comfort.

Charing Cross House is a full-service luxury co-op building offering 24-hour doorman service, a stately marble lobby, state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, on-site laundry room, bike and storage rooms, and a live-in super. The building permits pets and pied—terres, and will soon unveil its most extraordinary amenity: a state-of-the-art, eco-conscious roof deck garden equipped with Wi-Fi, vertical green walls and multiple seating areas creating a lush oasis for residents. The roof also provides solar panels and a rainwater retention system.

Ideally located on East 72nd Street, one of the premier double-wide residential blocks in the city, a number of world-class boutiques, restaurants, nightlife and cultural destinations sit within easy reach. Enjoy nearby Grace’s Marketplace and Citarella for high-quality food shopping, or head to the East River promenade or Central Park for stunning outdoor space and recreation. The 6 train and a nearby CitiBike station provide easy transportation, and the new Second Avenue subway will stop just across the street.
