541 East 72nd Street #5B

At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac street, nestled in between two intimate public parks you will find the crown jewel of walkup treasures. Your pre-war waterfront oasis, built in 1894, features two sunny bedrooms and two full windowed bathrooms. The living room/dining room is an expansive space with working wood-burning fireplace that enjoys four windows directly on the water and could easily be split to allow for another full sized bedroom if necessary. A washer/dryer is also located in the apartment for added convenience.

Your unobstructed East River views will shimmer and sparkle during the day as the sun and moon traverse the sky and dazzle on the water. Throughout the year you will be astonished as boats of all shapes and sizes pass directly in front your window. Simply put, these views must be seen to be believed.

541 East 72nd is one of four well maintained cooperative buildings commonly referred to as "The Black and Whites," known for their chic exterior details. There is a live in resident manager (Superintendent) who accepts packages and a porter. There is also a common laundry room (in addition to the W/D in unit) and bike room, storage is available on a rental basis. Pets of all sizes and pied--terre's are permitted.

The location of this building is also important as there are two public parks located within 20 feet of your front door. One has an outstanding view overlooking the East River, the other, more private of the parks has seating, tables and a waterfall. Additionally, the Second Avenue subway will have a stop on 72nd and Second Avenue within the next three years.

Please note that this is a walk-up building and this apartment is located four flights up on the fifth floor. There is a 3% flip tax split equally between the buyer and seller. 75% financing allowed.
