Overview of Le Bourgogne at 157 East 72nd Street

Le Bourgogne is a 15 story pre-war condominium at 157 East 72nd Street, built in 1923 and converted in 1984. The light beige brick building houses 146 apartments and features elegant architectural detailing, including a garland frieze of putti and shields across the top of the first floor. The building benefits from considerable light and air due to its location across from a setback tower and low rise buildings on Third Avenue.

Apartments typically feature 10 foot beamed ceilings, hardwood strip floors, and generous room dimensions that reflect the building's pre-war character. Many units offer open city views, with south facing bedrooms. Windowed bathrooms, walk-in closets, and abundant storage space are common features.

The building offers 24 hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, and a wood paneled lobby. A standout amenity is the furnished and landscaped roof deck, offering panoramic city views. Additional amenities include a large renovated laundry room and bike storage. The building permits pets on a case-by-case basis, allows pied-à-terre ownership, and permits subletting.

Located less than three blocks from the 72nd Street entrance to Central Park, Le Bourgogne sits in a prime Upper East Side location near Museum Mile. The building offers convenient access to the 4/5/6 subway lines and is close to popular destinations including Grace's Marketplace and Gracious Home, along with numerous restaurants and shops along Third Avenue.
