Located on one of the few streets going through Central Park, 235 East 72nd Street is representative of craftsmanship and design, paying homage to architectural elements that provide a captivating experience for both living and entertaining. The townhouse features 3 south facing bedrooms, 4 baths, maid?s quarters, Juliet balconies, 15 foot bamboo landscaped garden, wood burning fireplaces, 20 foot high atelier and an unparalleled formal dining experience.

The first floor?s tasteful marble edged Travertine floor leads to a guest room, a half bathroom and an eat-in kitchen with frosted glass doors separating the formal dining room. The oak staircase is illuminated by a unique pyramid skylight casting natural light to multiple floors. The formal dining room resides beneath one of the great features of this townhouse, a 10 foot square void creating a double-height ceiling over the dining table. The void in the ceiling visually connects the two floors that emphasize dramatic cascading lanterns. The private landscaped slate garden opens through French doors containing two levels, lower utilized for cooking, upper for entertainment and al fresco dining.

The second floor is highlighted by meticulously designed entertaining spaces enhanced with 15 foot ceilings. The front of the townhouse contains a beautiful south facing library, boasting floor to ceiling oak book cases, entertainment area and fireplace. Grand and distinct, the interiors of the cocktail room and landing are met by a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. The spectacular recessed ceiling, museum lighting combined with the lanterns create unforgettable ambiance.

The third floor?s 12 foot ceilings offer a generously proportioned south facing second bedroom with a fireplace accompanied by a second bathroom featuring a Verde marble shower. The media room provides a more intimate setting to watch movies while embracing a formal study with a Juliet balcony.

The top floor completes the house with a sun drenched southern master bedroom containing a fireplace and motorized black out shades. The his-and-hers master bathrooms are connected with an over-sized Jacuzzi. Past an ample sky lit gym awaits an enormous atelier celebrating pure creativity showcasing 20 foot ceilings and an incredible 5 foot northern skylight.
