With an impressive 30 foot expanse of huge windows overlooking Central Park and Fifth Avenue, this sophisticated two bedroom apartment offers breathtaking views, streaming sunlight and a gracious layout that is ideal for entertaining and comfortable living. The generous twenty foot gallery seamlessly leads into the elegant living room, both featuring black marble floors and white lacquered walls. The simple design and monochromatic color scheme are ideal for showcasing art. The dramatic and inviting dining room, with custom-built cabinetry, comfortably accommodates large or small gatherings.

The primary bedroom features excellent closet space, two full baths and an elevated bed raised to capture the best park views possible from that perspective, and with excellent storage. The separate second bedroom has ample closets, built-in storage and book shelves throughout. There is an adjacent bath which can double as a powder room.

Built in 1919 and modified to its current design in 1959, this modern landmark on the corner of 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue was designed by the renowned Fred F. French Company and boasts glorious prewar interiors commensurate with the design of its time.

There is a highly regarded on-site resident manager as well as a new state-of-the-art fitness room, bicycle storage, and a substantially discounted on-site parking garage. Pieds-a-terre are permitted. Unfortunately, pets are not. There is a two percent flip tax.
