12 W 72Nd St

Completed in 1927 and designed by Emery Roth, this 29-story prewar cooperative stands on Central Park West in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The Italian/Spanish Revival tower presents carved plaster ceilings, decorative cornices, and large single-pane picture windows that emphasize its original architectural detailing. Units range from studios to three-bedroom apartments and commonly feature high ceilings (often 9–12 feet), hardwood floors, formal dining rooms, eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, walk-in closets and built-in storage; many homes have been renovated with modern kitchens, stone or granite counters and updated baths. Several residences include private outdoor space — balconies or terraces, some sizable and terrace-level — plus in-unit washer/dryers permitted with board approval. Common areas and building services reflect full-time staffing: a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, package room, central laundry and a recently refreshed lobby and elevator banks. Resident conveniences include bicycle and storage rooms, central heating, and pet-friendly policies; pied-à-terre ownership and varying financing allowances are noted. Located directly across from Central Park and near Lincoln Center, major subway lines and cultural institutions, the building offers an Upper West Side lifestyle defined by park views, classic prewar proportions and full-service urban convenience.
