This romantic and truly chic pre-war penthouse is atop one of Lenox Hill’s most elegant coops, 164 East 72nd Street.

The adjoining library with a second wood burning fireplace has French doors onto a gorgeous terrace with ample seating and open views. The windowed eat-in kitchen is renovated with top-of-the-line appliances, a granite dining island, and access onto a terrace leading to the separate dining room. There is a washer dryer and a powder room off the kitchen.

The outstanding primary bedroom suite has a third wood burning fireplace, high ceilings and French doors onto a divine private terrace. There’s also a wonderful sitting room/home office and a massive dressing room/walk in closet. The primary has two bathrooms, which can remain separate, or be combined into one large bath.

Two more guest bedrooms have private, renovated baths. Central air conditioning. 164 East 72nd street is a lovely, white glove cooperative with 75% financing allowed. A beautifully maintained building with a 24-hour doorman, new state-of-the art gym, landscaped courtyard garden, private storage, bike room, central laundry and live-in super.
