530 E 72Nd St

Completed in the early 1960s, this 21-story cooperative occupies a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac on the Upper East Side with direct outlooks to the East River. The 115-unit building offers one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, including convertible junior-four and large multi-bedroom residences with formal dining rooms, foyers and oversized living rooms. Typical interior traits across apartments include hardwood floors, high ceilings, recessed lighting, expansive closets and often multiple walk-ins; many homes have been renovated with modern kitchens and baths and several units include enclosed terraces or dual balconies with river views. The Edgewater operates as a full-service, white-glove co-op with 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in superintendent, on-site valet garage parking, storage lockers for units, bicycle room and a modern laundry room. Building storage and some private outdoor spaces are available; board policies permit pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors and up to 65% financing, and small pets are allowed subject to weight limits. Located within blocks of the Second Avenue subway (Q), express bus routes, supermarkets and the East River Promenade, the property positions residents close to parks, fitness clubs, upscale shopping and the 72nd Street entrance to Central Park. Architecturally the building presents a midcentury residential block aesthetic softened by the cul-de-sac setting and a planted terrace overlooking the river; common areas and services emphasize convenience and full-service living rather than boutique exclusivity.
