Its spa-like en-suite bathroom is adorned with Greek marble walls, Italian marble vanities, a Waterworks deep-soaking tub, herringbone marble floors, a glass-enclosed spa shower, and radiant heat flooring.

The Building 40 East 72nd Street is a boutique luxury condominium perfectly situated between Park and Madison Avenues. Originally designed by Schwartz and Gross in 1928, the building has been completely reimagined by Jacques Grange and Barry Rice, maintaining the grace and scale of pre-war architecture while integrating state-of-the-art modern infrastructure.

The elevator cabins mirror the elegant aesthetic of the lobby, luxuriously transporting residents to their private landings. With a full-time doorman and a prime location near the city's finest galleries, museums, boutiques, restaurants, and schools, 40 East 72nd Street stands among the most distinguished addresses on the Upper East Side, offering an unparalleled living experience in one of the world's most sought-after neighborhoods.
