140 E 72Nd St

Located at 140 East 72nd Street on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this 22‑story cooperative was completed in 1959 and reflects mid‑century design by Sylvan and Robert Bien. The salmon‑colored brick façade with a rosy granite base gives the property a recognizable street presence on a tree‑lined block between Park and Lexington Avenues. The building contains large, well‑proportioned apartments—most floors house three units—that emphasize gracious entry foyers, expansive living/dining rooms, and generous closet storage. Typical residence layouts feature windowed kitchens, king‑sized bedrooms, and multiple bathrooms; many units have been renovated with modern kitchens, marble finishes, and wide‑plank hardwood floors while retaining oversized windows for abundant natural light. Common areas include a staffed 24/7 doorman lobby, live‑in superintendent, updated elevators, a state‑of‑the‑art fitness room, children’s playroom, central laundry, bicycle storage, and private storage bins. An adjacent on‑site garage provides parking; private outdoor spaces over 60 sq ft are available in select residences. Building policies are buyer‑friendly for a co‑op: pets, pied‑a‑terres, and in‑unit washer/dryers are permitted with board approval, and financing around 65% is typical. The location offers immediate access to Central Park, boutique shopping, museums, restaurants, and multiple subway lines, supporting a comfortable full‑service Upper East Side lifestyle.
