About this home
<strong> Penthouse Triplex at 40 East 72nd Street <br> <br> Inquire about Accessory Suite for sale.</strong><br> <br> The residence is <strong>currently tenant-occupied through June 2027 at a monthly rent of $72,500</strong>, making it suitable for investors or buyers planning a future occupancy. <br> <br> No Board Approval Needed.<br> <br> Perfectly positioned between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue in the heart of the Upper East Side, this exceptional penthouse crowns an intimate boutique condominium distinguished by its seamless blend of classic prewar elegance and contemporary sophistication. Originally constructed in 1928 by the renowned architectural firm Schwartz & Gross and later meticulously reimagined by celebrated designer Jacques Grange together with architect Barry Rice, the building comprises just six residences and offers full-time doorman service, exceptional privacy, and the quiet refinement synonymous with premier Upper East Side living.<br> <br> Occupying the top three floors of the building, this magnificent twelve-room penthouse triplex encompasses approximately 6,060 square feet of interior living space and is complemented by three terraces and three balconies totaling 1,210 square feet of private outdoor space. With five to six bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, the residence offers extraordinary scale, remarkable natural light, and a layout designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable daily living. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the interiors in sunlight throughout the day, while central air conditioning ensures year-round comfort. The apartment also conveys with a private ground-floor staff room with a full bathroom, conveniently located just off the lobby.<br> <br> A private elevator opens directly into the penthouse, revealing the home's gracious entertaining level. The living room is an elegant, sun-filled space ideal for gatherings of any scale, with direct access to a private balcony and open city views. Adjacent to the living room, the formal dining room provides an impressive setting for entertaining and features a wood-burning fireplace along with its own balcony, creating a rare combination of classic charm and indoor-outdoor living.<br> <br> The chef's eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully designed to accommodate both sophisticated entertaining and everyday life. It is appointed with premium appliances, including two ovens with a five-burner cooktop by Gaggenau, a ventilation hood by Miele, and a refrigerator and freezer by Sub-Zero. Custom cabinetry, a double-wide sink, a wine refrigerator, and an integrated stainless steel trash chute complete the space. Just beyond the kitchen, a bright breakfast area opens directly onto an expansive terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor setting ideal for morning coffee or casual dining. This level also features a spacious laundry room with a deep sink, washer, and dryer, as well as a powder room.<br> <br> The second floor is devoted to a luxurious primary suite designed as a private retreat. The primary bedroom enjoys its own balcony and is complemented by a generously sized walk-in closet. The spa-like primary bath is finished in marble and features an oversized soaking tub, a separate glass-enclosed shower, dual vanities, and fixtures by Waterworks, creating an atmosphere of serene refinement. Also on this level is a media room that opens onto a dramatic private terrace spanning nearly the width of the residence, offering an extraordinary outdoor living space ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation. A guest bedroom or sitting room with an en-suite bath completes this floor.<br> <br> The top level serves as a private bedroom floor, offering three well-proportioned bedrooms that provide exceptional comfort and privacy for family and guests. One bedroom enjoys direct access to its own terrace, while the remaining two south-facing bedrooms feature en-suite baths and lovely natural light. An additional hall bathroom serves the floor, ensuring convenience and flexibility for residents and visitors alike.<br> <br> Throughout the penthouse, every detail reflects the refined vision of Jacques Grange, from custom moldings and carefully selected finishes to thoughtfully integrated architectural details. Expansive windows frame the surrounding cityscape while enhancing the residence's gracious proportions and natural light.<br> <br> Rarely does a home of this scale, pedigree, and privacy become available in such a coveted Upper East Side location. With its remarkable indoor-outdoor living, distinguished design heritage, and boutique condominium setting, this penthouse represents a truly exceptional offering-a grand Manhattan residence in the sky.<br> <br> Additional features include: <br> A <strong>private storage included with the residence</strong>. <br> <br> <strong> Advance notice is required for all showings.</strong>...
