164 E 72ND Street #11A Manhattan, NY 10021

High floor and open views atop of the superb Upper East Side cooperative, this meticulous classic 7 room apartment is a sun-kissed 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom residence with three open city exposures. The entrance foyer leads to a stunning living room with enormous 6 over 6 paned new windows overlooking 72nd Street. The tranquil living room features a wood-burning fireplace, flanked by built-in bookcases, high beamed ceilings, and there is a wrought-iron Juliette balcony. Elegant French doors separate the living room and library (second bedroom) bestowing even more sunlight throughout the living room. The apartment is predominantly carpeted with Stark carpets but there are original hardwood floors beneath. There is also through-wall air conditioning, new Pella windows, and generous outfitted closets throughout.

The formal dining room, kitchen and staff room have open Eastern exposures. The living room and dining room are wired for a sound system. The renovated eat-in kitchen features a Viking 6 burner stove and vented hood, Miele dishwasher, new Subzero refrigerator, water filter system, Waterworks subway tile backsplash and Waterworks flooring, lots of storage and counter space and an 8 over 8 paned window flooding the kitchen with light. The kitchen and butler's pantry have lovely glass encased cabinets, and a built-in area to sit/desk. The staff room is used as a home office with a built-in desk, and features a closet and renovated half bathroom with a stacked washer/dryer in place of a shower. The entrance foyer features a huge walk-in closet/storage space, where some choose to add a powder room (board approval required).

The three bedrooms are all located off the bedroom hallway. The primary bedroom has incredible corner exposures facing North and East. The Eastern facing window in the primary bedroom is unique to the higher floors in the building. The primary bedroom has a windowed bath ensuite with outfitted closets in the dressing area. The second bedroom facing North onto 72nd Street is currently being used as a formal Library. The third bedroom faces South with great light and a large walk-in closet. The second and third bedrooms share the hallway bathroom. Both bathrooms are windowed and have Waterworks tiling and fixtures.
