Description

Currently configured as a spacious professional office, this 1250 square foot suite offers many possibilities. One is to keep it as a medical suite with a private, street level entry, a reception room, waiting area, two offices, three exam rooms, a file storage area, lab, kitchenette and THREE BATHROOMS. It might also be converted to residential use, subject to Board approval, of course.

With some thought and creativity, 1A can easily be transformed into the elegant and gracious home of your dreams. Regardless of how the space is utilized, however, the original pre-war details, including casement windows, hardwood floors and beamed ceilings, add to its character and charm and make this unique space an extraordinary value.

This boutique, full-service building is rich in New York City history.

160 East 72nd is known as one of the great sleeper buildings of the Upper East Side, with understated elegance and sophistication. It was built in 1928 as a co-op by Kingdon Gould, a grandchild of the infamous Robber Baron, Jay Gould, with a triplex penthouse on top for his family. The buildings architecture firm, Taylor & Levi, have many works listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Residents in the early years included NYC society, financiers, and businessmen, but by the middle of the 20th century, luminaries of stage and screen arrived. Most noteworthy residents include Joan Fontaine and Viven Leigh, who rented Ms. Fontaines apartment while appearing on Broadway in 1966. The building offers mostly semi-private or floor through apartments.

It is pet friendly and pied-a-terre ownership will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Financing up to 50% is permitted and a flip tax of 3% is paid by the seller.

Conveniently located in the heart of Lenox Hill, residents are just a few blocks from excellent restaurants, shopping, world famous museums, schools, and, of course, Central Park. Transportation to and from other parts of the city is seamless with the Q/4/5/6 subways nearby, as well as buses and Citibike stations.
