40 East 72nd Street, 5th Floor Experience the perfect blend of luxury, elegance, and modern comfort in this sun-filled, full-floor residence in the heart of the Upper East Side's prestigious Gold Coast. This grand six-room condominium, accessed via a private keyed elevator, offers an expansive and sophisticated layout, meticulously designed by world-renowned architects Jacques Grange and Barry Rice. Upon entering the private landing, you are welcomed into nearly 45 feet of formal entertaining space. The grand living room features six oversized windows that bathe the space in natural light, offering serene, tree-lined views. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm, while oversized pocket doors lead to a versatile area that can serve as a formal dining room or a family room, depending on your needs. This flexible layout ensures both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The windowed, eat-in chef's kitchen is a masterpiece of design and functionality. Custom-milled cabinetry is complemented by a striking quartzite island, countertops, and backsplash. Top-of-the-line appliances include Gaggenau double wall ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a wine cooler, and a garbage disposal. Oversized pocket doors allow for the flexibility of an open or enclosed kitchen experience. The private bedroom wing is a tranquil retreat, featuring three generously proportioned, sunlit bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and custom-fitted closets. The oversized primary suite is a serene oasis, offering picturesque views of a beautiful church through a south-facing Juliet balcony. Its spa-like en-suite bathroom is adorned with Greek marble walls, Italian marble vanities, a Waterworks deep-soaking tub, herringbone marble floors, a glass-enclosed spa shower, and radiant heat flooring. One of the additional bedrooms also features its own Juliet balcony, accessed through elegant French doors. Additional highlights of this exquisite home include white oak floors, custom lighting, central air conditioning, a powder room, a spacious laundry room, and 43 square feet of dedicated storage space. The Building 40 East 72nd Street is a boutique luxury condominium perfectly situated between Park and Madison Avenues. Originally designed by Schwartz and Gross in 1928, the building has been completely reimagined by Jacques Grange and Barry Rice, maintaining the grace and scale of pre-war architecture while integrating state-of-the-art modern infrastructure. Except for the landmarked fa ade, every inch of the building is brand new. Grange's international design influence is evident throughout-from the artisanal bronze grillwork adorning the entrance doors to the sophisticated black-and-white granite diamond-patterned lobby flooring and rich Stuc Pierre walls. The elevator cabins mirror the elegant aesthetic of the lobby, luxuriously transporting residents to their private landings. With a full-time doorman and a prime location near the city's finest galleries, museums, boutiques, restaurants, and schools, 40 East 72nd Street stands among the most distinguished addresses on the Upper East Side, offering an unparalleled living experience in one of the world's most sought-after neighborhoods.
