Building: 215 East 72nd Street

215 East 72nd Street is a handsome15-story cooperative building, originally with two apartments per floor. It was erected in 1929 and is located between Third and Second Avenue, half a city block from the Second Avenue subway line and four short blocks from Central Park.

The Classic 8 and 9 room apartments feature a grand entrance gallery which leads into an elegant living room with a woodburning fireplace and a formal dining room with a butler’s pantry. Both residences have 3 bedrooms and 2 maid’s rooms (the ninth room is a library, true to the traditional Classic 9 room layout).

The building is surrounded by townhouses on both sides and across 72nd Street which allows for extraordinary natural light and pleasant views from all of the apartments. The façade is red and brown brick, decorated with limestone on the lower floors. Many owners have installed through-wall air conditioning and all windows were recently replaced. Amenities include a full-time staff, 24-hour doorman service, and a live-in superintendent. There are laundry facilities and storage bins in the basement. Pets are welcome. Financing up to 50% is permitted and the flip tax is 2% of the purchase price.
