About This Property
Classic Eastgate 1 BR with a Rare Wood-Burning Fireplace and Pre-war Charm
This large, spacious one-bedroom offers gracious room sizes, lovely garden views and an increasingly rare wood-burning fireplace with a classic carved mantel. A nearly 18-foot entrance foyer with three generous closets opens through an elegant archway to a beautiful living room. With 11 windows throughout, the apartment enjoys wonderful natural light and peaceful garden outlooks. A separate windowed dining area comfortably accommodates a full dining table, while the spacious, well-proportioned bedroom features a large walk-in closet. Both the kitchen and bathroom are windowed, and hardwood floors, original architectural details and a gracious separation of space give 5G an unmistakable sense of classic New York elegance.
Located within Eastgate, the celebrated Bing & Bing enclave designed by Emery Roth, 225 East 73rd Street offers a beautifully appointed lobby, 24-hour doorman, resident superintendent, central laundry, fitness room ($50/month), bike storage ($75/year per bike), storage cages ($75/month), a landscaped residents' garden with barbecue grill, and a furnished roof deck with lovely open city views. Mail is delivered directly to each apartment's front door, a wonderful old-New-York convenience. Pets are welcome with Board approval, washer/dryers are permitted with Board approval, and 75% financing is permitted. East 73rd Street is especially magical during the holiday season, when the Eastgate buildings and trees are illuminated in one of the neighborhood's most beloved traditions.
Monthly capital assessment: $229.02 through May 1, 2030.
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.
Mail is delivered to each apartment's front door at 225 East 73rd Street, and the building already has laundry, a package room, a bike room and a storage space, so much of the practical setup is handled before you move in. The apartment has window air conditioning units, which is worth factoring in if you're used to central systems.
The entrance foyer runs nearly 18 feet and has three generous closets, and it leads through an archway into the living room. A separate windowed dining area fits a full dining table, and the bedroom has a large walk-in closet. Both the kitchen and the bathroom have windows, which matters in a one-bedroom where the kitchen gets used every day.
There are 11 windows throughout the apartment, and the listing describes garden outlooks that come with the natural light. The wood-burning fireplace has a classic carved mantel, which gives the living room a clear focal point, and I'd want to see how it sits in the room before deciding anything about it.
Pre-war buildings like this one, built in 1932, can appeal to buyers who care about architectural detail. Layout and condition matter more than age alone, and here the hardwood floors, original architectural details and the way the rooms are separated are the reasons to look closely.
The 72 St station on the Q is about 2 minutes on foot, and the 6 train at 77 St is about 7 minutes away. St. Catherine's Park is about 8 minutes on foot, and Central Park is about 12 minutes.
This is a cooperative, so board approval is part of the process.
