Klasikong 8 na Elegansya ng Prewar Meets Endless Potential…

Maligayang pagdating sa nakabibighaning prewar na bahay sa 55 East 72nd Street, isang pangunahing kooperatiba na perpektong matatagpuan sa pagitan ng Park at Madison Avenues. Orihinal na isang klasikong walo na may tatlong silid-tulugan, kasalukuyang nakabuo bilang isang dalawang-silid, ang tahanang ito ay mahigpit na inalagaan ng iisang pamilya sa loob ng mahigit limampung taon—ngayon handa na para sa susunod na kabanata.

Pumasok mula sa isang semi-pribadong landing ng elevator na karaniwang ginagamit lamang ng isang ibang tahanan patungo sa isang malaking foyer ng pasukan, na nagtatakda ng tono para sa walang panahong tahanang ito. Ang living room na may doble-lapad, pinapalamutian ng liwanag mula sa timog mula sa ika-15 palapag, ay pinangunahan ng isang bihirang doble-lapad, panggatong na fireplace—ang nag-iisa sa kanyang uri sa gusali—at nagpapakita ng kaakit-akit na tanawin ng lungsod.

Ang pormal na dining room, kasama ang elegante nitong sukat at hilagang pagkakalantad, ay perpekto para sa malapitang pagdiriwang at madali ring magamit bilang isang den o silid ng media. Ang masigla, may bintanang eat-in kitchen ay may tatlong bintana na nakaharap sa kanluran at maaring palawakin upang isama ang orihinal na silid para sa staff, na ngayon ay isang ganap na kagamitan na laundry at storage room na may vented washer/dryer, plus isang maginhawang powder room.

Ang sulok na pangunahing silid-tulugan ay may parehong timog at silangang pagkakalantad, na pumupuno sa espasyo ng likas na liwanag. Ang banyo nito na may bintana ay nagbibigay ng pagkakataon para sa pagpapalawak. Ang pangalawang silid, kasalukuyang ginagamit bilang den o opisina, ay may en suite na banyo. Ang orihinal na pangatlong silid-tulugan ay walang kahirap-hirap na isinama sa living space ngunit madaling maibabalik. Ang tahanang ito ay punung-puno ng walang panahong detalye ng pre-war, kasama na ang mataas na kisame, mga kahoy na sahig, at maluluwag na espasyo para sa imbakan sa buong bahay.

Isipin mong simulan ang iyong umaga sa kape mula sa Ralph’s at isang sariwang lutong bagel mula sa Eli’s Market bago maglakad-lakad sa Central Park, na isang bloke lamang ang layo. Napapaligiran ka ng mga luxury boutique sa Madison Avenue at ilan sa mga pinakamagagandang restaurant sa lungsod, ang tunay na estilo ng buhay sa Upper East Side.

Dinisenyo noong 1924 ni Alfred Joseph Bodker, ang 55 East 72nd Street ay isang kagalang-galang na neo-Renaissance na limestone at brick kooperatiba na may 24-oras na doorman service, isang live-in resident manager, pribadong imbakan, bike room, at isang maganda at maayos na rooftop garden. Pinapayagan ang mga alagang hayop, pieds-à-terre, at hanggang 40% financing na may pahintulot ng board. May 2% flip tax na binabayaran ng mamimili.

Classic 8 Prewar elegance meets endless potential…

Welcome to this gracious prewar home at 55 East 72nd Street, a premier cooperative ideally situated between Park and Madison Avenues. Originally a classic eight with three bedrooms, currently configured as a two-bedroom, this residence has been lovingly cared for by the same family for more than fifty years—now ready for its next chapter.

Enter from a semi-private elevator landing shared with only one other residence into a grand entry foyer, setting the tone for this timeless home. The double-width living room, bathed in southern light from the 15th floor, is anchored by a rare double-wide, wood-burning fireplace—the only one of its kind in the building—and showcases charming open city views.

The formal dining room, with its elegant proportions and northern exposure, is ideal for intimate entertaining and could easily serve as a den or media room. The cheery, windowed eat-in kitchen enjoys three west-facing windows and can be expanded to include the original staff room, now a fully equipped laundry and storage room with vented washer/dryer, plus a convenient powder room.

The corner primary bedroom enjoys both southern and eastern exposures, filling the space with natural light. Its windowed bath offers the opportunity for expansion. The second bedroom, currently used as a den or office, has an en suite bath. The original third bedroom has been seamlessly incorporated into the living space but can easily be restored.
