About This Property
Welcome to Apartment 12AB at 399 East 72nd Street a 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom home with open city views, fully renovated kitchen, in unit washer dryer and 2 dedicated work spaces.
A rare combination that lives large and lives beautifully. Sun pours in from all exposures, framing an expansive living and dining area anchored by a wall of windows and finished with elegant crown molding, hardwood floors, and generous proportions throughout.
At the heart of the home is a fully renovated, windowed chef's kitchen — a true showpiece. Soft dove-gray Shaker cabinetry with warm brass hardware pairs with honed marble-look quartz countertops, a hand-laid herringbone tile backsplash, and a sleek brushed-gold faucet over a windowed sink with skyline views. A premium stainless steel appliance suite completes a space that's as functional as it is striking.
The oversized living room is lined with expansive windows that flood the space with beautiful natural light throughout the day. It flows seamlessly into a dining area with room for a full table and additional seating, making the layout ideal for both quiet nights in and effortless entertaining.
The serene primary suite, adorned with designer wallpaper and open skyline views, features an updated en-suite bathroom and a standout feature rarely found in the city: two thoughtfully designed work-from-home areas tucked into private nooks, offering exceptional flexibility for today's lifestyle.
The oversized second bedroom enjoys double exposures, abundant natural light, and ample space to comfortably accommodate two. A beautifully appointed windowed marble bathroom, conveniently located just outside the bedroom, serves as both a stylish hall bath and an ideal guest bathroom.
Additional highlights include an in-unit washer and dryer, strip wood floors, an abundance of closet space, and unobstructed southern, eastern, and northern exposures - Welcome Home!
The Eastview House, built in 1961, is a 20-story luxury doorman building with a live-in resident manager, and resident-friendly policies that include pets (1 dog allowed/25lb weight limit), pieds-à-terre, and sublets with Board approval. Amenities include storage bins and bike storage (available for rent with a fee) and a parking garage space (waitlist).
Prime Upper East Side living is at your doorstep — one block from the Q train, with easy access to the 6 train and the Crosstown M72 bus at the corner. Surrounded by world-class dining, gourmet grocers, schools, medical facilities, and exceptional shopping, this area is ideal for an active city lifestyle.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The living room opens into a dining area with room for a full table and extra seating, so the main rooms work as one stretch when you're hosting or just spreading out. The primary suite has two work areas set into private nooks, and I like that the home gives you two dedicated spots for work instead of one desk in a corner.
The kitchen is fully renovated and has its own window. Dove-gray Shaker cabinets, brass hardware, quartz countertops and a herringbone tile backsplash sit alongside a brushed-gold faucet over a sink with skyline views, and the stainless steel appliances complete the room.
The second bedroom is a good size and has exposures to the south, east and north, which the listing describes as unobstructed. On the winter solstice, a south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM. Nearby buildings can block some of it, so it's worth seeing the light in person at different times of day.
Central air is in the apartment, and the closets include walk-ins. The building has an elevator, garage parking and laundry. The Q train at 72 St is about 4 minutes on foot, and Morton Williams is about 2 minutes away, while John Jay Park is about 7 minutes on foot.
As a co-op, the purchase goes through the board, so it's worth going over the building's financial requirements with your attorney early.
