245 East 72 Street   Unit 20C

Cocktails on the terrace! Open city views from high up on the 20th floor. Because it is high up, there is a feeling of serenity and privacy, a kind of ivory tower sheltering you from the bustle of the city below. Spacious, sun-filled corner apartment with original oak floors, WBFP, high beamed ceilings and Southern and Eastern views in distinguished Upper East Side, Bing & Bing prewar, full service building in low 70s. Only three families on this floor. Large sunny LR with WBFP and BR, both with French doors opening onto terraces. Windowed kitchen and bath. Well-equiped gym. Laundry and storage facilities in building. Wonderful food stores nearby (Grace's Marketplace, Citarella, Food Emporium) plus many charming restaurants. Near Central Park and major museums (The Frick, Whitney, Metropolitan Museum of Art) and galleries. Excellent public transportation (subway; uptown, downtown and crosstown buses) all very close. Could use TLC, but Views like this rarely found in a prewar, full service building.
