245 E 72Nd St

A distinguished 21-story prewar cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1929, the building reflects classic Bing & Bing-era architecture with ornate lobby details and robust masonry construction. Residences range from studios to one- and two-bedroom layouts, plus a handful of larger duplex and penthouse homes that incorporate planted terraces and wood-burning fireplaces. Typical apartment interiors preserve prewar character: high beamed ceilings, hardwood and basket-weave floors, arched doorways, generous foyers, oversized windows, and original hardware alongside periodically modernized kitchens and baths. Common areas include an elegant doorman-attended entry, live-in superintendent offices, a planted rear garden and multiple planted terraces for private apartment use. Building services and facilities are full-service: 24-hour doorman, fitness center with specialty equipment, bike room, common laundry, and private storage (waitlist applies). The cooperative’s policies are flexible for the neighborhood: pets permitted, pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and washer/dryers in-unit are allowed with board approval; financing up to 80% is typical. Located on East 72nd Street between Second and Third Avenues, the property sits steps from the Q line, neighborhood shopping, restaurants, and museum institutions, offering classic prewar living with modern conveniences.
