About This Property

Timeless and Elegant Upper East Side Classic Seven!

Perfectly positioned on one of the Upper East Side's most coveted blocks, Residence 9C is a distinguished classic seven-room residence offering extraordinary scale and timeless proportions.

A gracious entrance gallery welcomes you into the home and serves as its central axis, elegantly separating between the entertaining spaces from the private bedroom wing. Lined with closets and thoughtfully integrated built-ins, the gallery is dressed in an abundance of storage.

The 31-foot living room is the heart of the home, offering remarkable scale for gracious entertaining while remaining equally inviting for everyday living. North, south, and east exposures fill the residence with natural light throughout the day.

The formal dining room is located adjacent to the kitchen which presents a rare opportunity to reimagine the home's central living areas. The adjacent staff bedroom and full bath offer versatility and can be thoughtfully incorporated into private guest accommodations, a home office, fitness room, walk-in pantry, or additional storage.

Privately tucked away from the entertaining rooms, the bedroom wing offers a peaceful retreat. The primary suite features a walk-in closet along with an en-suite bath, while two additional bedrooms provide generous closet space and easy access to two bathrooms. A powder room is conveniently located for guests.

114 East 72nd Street is a full-service post-war cooperative ideally situated on one of the Upper East Side's most desirable tree-lined blocks. The building offers the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and everyday convenience, just moments from Central Park, Madison Avenue's world-renowned boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, neighborhood cafés, gourmet markets, museums, and multiple transportation options, including the 72nd Street subway and crosstown bus. Amenities include a full-time doorman, landscaped roof deck with stunning city views, fitness center, bicycle storage, and private storage. Pied-a-terres are permitted and financing up to 50%. There is a 2% flip-tax to be paid by the buyer.

Rich in classic proportions and enduring architectural elegance, Residence 9C presents a rare opportunity to thoughtfully reimagine an Upper East Side residence while preserving the elegance that defines classic New York living. Whether restoring its timeless character or introducing refined contemporary finishes, the residence offers an exceptional foundation for creating a home that is both sophisticated and uniquely your own.

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.

Residence 9C opens into a 31-foot living room, a formal dining room beside the kitchen, and a gallery lined with closets and built-ins. The entertaining rooms sit on one side of the entrance and the bedroom wing on the other, so guests and daily life don't have to share the same space. I like that the gallery takes on so much storage, because it keeps the entry itself uncluttered.

The residence has north, south and east exposures. A south-facing window can get about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice and about 6.1 hours on the summer solstice, and a north-facing window gets about 4.2 hours on the summer solstice. Nearby buildings can block some of that light.

The primary suite has a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath. Two more bedrooms have generous closet space and sit in the same quiet wing, and a powder room is set apart for guests. With four bedrooms in total, the layout can hold a guest room or office without giving up the main living rooms.

The building is a post-war co-op with a full-time doorman, a landscaped roof deck, a fitness center, bicycle storage and private storage. A full-time doorman helps with deliveries, guests and building access. Pets are allowed, and the listing notes that pied-a-terres are permitted and washer/dryers are allowed. Financing up to 50% is noted, and the buyer pays a 2% flip tax, so it's worth reviewing both with your broker or attorney before making an offer.

Lenox Hill puts Central Park about 7 minutes away on foot, and the 68 St-Hunter College station on the 6 train is about 4 minutes away. Morton Williams is about 4 minutes away for groceries, and the Frick Collection is about 6 minutes away on foot.
