340 E 72Nd St

A meticulously maintained pre-war cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, this 16-story, 1930-built white-glove building houses roughly three dozen residences in classic apartment configurations (two-, three- and four-bedroom plans). Architecturally it reflects understated 1930s limestone and brick detailing with formal entryways and semi-private landings for several units. Interiors preserve period character: high beamed ceilings, original moldings, oversized windows, hardwood floors, marble foyer elements and multiple wood-burning fireplaces in many homes. Typical apartment features include formal dining rooms, windowed eat-in kitchens, dens or staff rooms, generous walk-in closets, and built-in pantry or bar areas; several units offer in-unit washer/dryer hookups or designated staff rooms and storage cages in the basement. Common areas emphasize residential service and quiet shared outdoor space—a planted courtyard/garden for residents—and practical facilities such as a renovated fitness room, bike room, laundry, and assigned private storage. Building services are full-service: 24-hour doorman/concierge, resident manager, live-in superintendent, and attentive staff; the co-op permits pets, supplies wood for fireplaces, and typically allows up to 50% financing with a modest flip tax. Located mid-block on East 72nd Street between First and Second Avenues, the location is walkable to neighborhood shops, restaurants, schools, the new subway access, and a short distance to Central Park, offering a classic Upper East Side lifestyle balancing quiet residential scale with city convenience.
