About
introducing an extraordinary opportunity to own a unique home in the sky on the upper east side of manhattan — a stunning 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom duplex cooperative with an additional maid’s room and a remarkable 500-square-foot private outdoor terrace. with 32 closets, including seven walk-in closets, storage is abundant throughout.
perfectly situated on prestigious east 72nd street, this impressive residence offers generous interior living space complemented by beautiful private outdoor living, creating a seamless blend of sophistication, comfort, and functionality.
with impeccable proportions and situated on a high floor, this home enjoys an abundance of natural light and sweeping city views. the expansive living room features two distinct seating areas framed by oversized panoramic windows, ideal for entertaining or relaxing.
the elegant dining room opens directly onto the large private terrace — perfect for al fresco dining or grand gatherings under the city sky. inside, two kitchens provide exceptional flexibility for culinary enthusiasts and effortless entertaining.
the home’s gracious staircase connects two beautifully designed levels — the lower floor ideal for entertaining, and the upper floor offering a tranquil private retreat with four spacious bedrooms. additional rooms include a lounge, tv room, dedicated home office, private gym, and a cozy media/library space.
the large primary suite is a true sanctuary with a generous walk-in closet, serene atmosphere, and an at-home ensuite office, providing the perfect setting for work or study in privacy and comfort.
residents enjoy a full-service luxury building with low maintenance and an impressive array of amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, state-of-the-art fitness center, roof deck, resident’s lounge, outdoor relaxation garden, parking garage with discounted monthly rates, bike room, laundry room, and mail/package room. a basement storage unit and full gym membership are also available.
this well-run cooperative is financially strong, with commercial tenants on the ground floor contributing to its stability. the building is pet-friendly and allows co-purchasing, pied-à-terres, 75% financing, and guarantors—and no flip tax.
located just a short distance from manhattan’s premier east side hospitals, this home is especially convenient for medical professionals working nearby. east 72nd street also offers easy access to fine restaurants, boutique shopping, and is a short distance from the q train.
too many terraces to keep track of (7) making the outdoor accessible from every major room. but the direct living terrace is the one that all terraces in manhattan will be measured against.

Expert Opinion:
while this terrace offers a massive length that runs the full span of the loft, its 4-foot width makes it a linear observation deck rather than a lounge. it’s a spectacular "standing room only" gallery for midtown views—perfect for a breath of air, provided you don't mind staying single-file.

Expert Opinion:
this 600-square-foot living level terrace offers a substantial, practical footprint, but the additional balconies scattered throughout the apartment feel fragmented. while the primary space is a solid canvas, this new development requires a real investment in build-out to create a cohesive atmosphere. it’s a high-potential, multi-space project needing a vision.

this living level terrace might not have a view in a traditional sense, but peeking up an alley with fire escapes has its own new york charm

Expert Opinion:
those mature evergreens took years to grow in, and they're doing serious work screening out the neighboring sightlines. at 2,065 square feet with 40 feet of width, this direct living terrace seats a dozen people comfortably before anyone notices the courtyard orientation. west-facing means late afternoon sun, which is exactly when you want it.
