Gracious proportions and timeless prewar charm define this expansive eight-into-seven room residence with sunny north, south, and west exposures. A 29-foot entrance gallery creates an impressive arrival, setting the stage for a home perfectly designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable living. The south-facing living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, overlooks 72nd Street, while the primary suite features southern and western exposures toward Central Park, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite marble bath. Two additional bedrooms share a second bath off a separate hallway. A 19-foot formal dining room with western views leads to the renovated, sun-filled kitchen with northern city vistas, stainless steel appliances, a washer and dryer, and a generous eat-in area. One former staff room was incorporated to expand the kitchen, while a second remains off the kitchen with an en-suite bath. A charming wet bar adjacent to the dining room completes the entertaining spaces. 215 East 72nd Street offers white-glove service with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, private storage, and a newly renovated courtyard. Ideally located between Second and Third Avenues, it is close to fine dining, boutique shopping, and convenient transportation, including the Second Avenue Subway. Pets & pied a terres are permitted. Financing is allowed up to 50%, and a 2% flip tax is paid by the purchaser.
