236 East 72nd Street is an elegant, single-family townhouse with a private parking garage, perfect for a car or extra storage.
The front door opens to a foyer revealing the spectacular living room, with its soaring 20-foot ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. Through the double-height, arched windows are views of the two-level, south-facing garden that offers a peaceful urban oasis.
Overlooking the living room is the dramatic dining room with a built-in bar, beverage drawers, and it is open to the wonderful chef's kitchen with its wall of windows, abundance of cabinets, top-of-the-line appliances, Caesarstone countertops, a built-in banquet, and a breakfast bar.
The sunny primary has a nook perfect for a desk and a terrace that is ideal for sipping your morning coffee or reading the New York Times. There is a wall of closets and a marble en-suite bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub, glass-enclosed stall shower, and double sink.
The library or dressing room is also on this floor and has another fireplace and a built-in desk with custom shelving.
On the next level there are two more bedrooms, two renovated bathrooms, and a vented washer/dryer.
Additional features of this turn-key home are pristine original details, a powder room, central air, recessed lighting, a skylight, and a basement that houses the mechanics and gives the new owner another spot for laundry and/or storage.
