About This Property
THE RESIDENCE
RARE AND REMARKABLE – NO BOARD APPROVAL.
A spectacular Sponsor residence with no board approval, apartment 9C is a one-of-a-kind corner home that combines breathtaking river and city views and an extraordinary new designer renovation. Bathed in sunlight from western, northern, and eastern exposures, this outstanding two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence features soaring ten-foot ceilings and oversized picture windows rarely found in a prewar home.
From the moment you enter from the landing with only two apartments, it is clear this is no ordinary home. A dramatic foyer with Venetian plaster walls leads to a stunning living room bathed in natural light and open city views. Perfect for both elegant entertaining and everyday living, the space is as sophisticated as it is inviting.
If you love to cook, you will fall in love with the gorgeous eat-in kitchen that has been thoughtfully designed with no detail over-looked — custom cabinetry, Bosch appliances, Kohler fixtures, exquisite Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and backsplash, and incredible storage, blending timeless contemporary style with exceptional functionality.
Every detail of the incredible renovation has been thoughtfully considered and impeccably executed, from the luxurious Calacatta marble bathrooms with Kohler fixtures, and white oak floors to the designer lighting, beautiful crown moldings, central air conditioning, Miele washer/dryer, and excellent closet space.
The primary bedroom is truly breathtaking, with a tremendous picture window framing magical Hudson River views and mesmerizing sunsets. The spacious second bedroom enjoys open city views and offers exceptional flexibility as a bedroom, den, home office, or formal dining room.
Rarely does a home offer such a compelling combination of prewar elegance, modern luxury, extraordinary light, and captivating views. Apartment 9C is a true turnkey trophy residence that feels both glamorous and serene—simply beyond compare.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Levy Carol E.
Venetian plaster covers the walls of the foyer at 305 West 72nd Street 9-C, and the ten-foot ceilings carry that sense of scale through this corner two-bedroom, two-bath apartment. The living room has open city views, and the primary bedroom has a large picture window that frames Hudson River views.
The eat-in kitchen is the room to see in person if you cook. It has custom cabinetry, Bosch appliances, Kohler fixtures, and Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and backsplash, with storage that the listing presents as a strong point. I like that it's built for daily use as much as for looks.
The bathrooms are finished in Calacatta marble with Kohler fixtures, and white oak floors run through the rooms alongside crown moldings and designer lighting. The Miele washer and dryer are inside the apartment, so you won't need the building laundry for everyday loads. Central air conditioning is included.
Because the apartment has western, northern and eastern exposures, its windows change throughout the day. On an open horizon, a west-facing window catches afternoon light from 12:34 PM to 4:07 PM in December, and it's still lit until 8:07 PM in June. An east-facing window is lit from 7:41 AM to 11:14 AM in December and from 5:49 AM to 12:44 PM in June. Nearby buildings can block either.
Riverside Park is about one minute on foot, Riverside Park South is about three minutes, and the 72 St station for the 1, 2 and 3 trains is about five minutes away. Fairway Market and Trader Joe's are each about four to five minutes on foot.
The listing says no board approval is needed to buy, and it notes that pets are allowed.
