Enjoy stunning open city views, magical at night, from this bright and quiet, corner double-exposure studio at Charing Cross House, an impeccable full-service doorman building located on East 72nd Street, one of the most beautiful double-wide residential blocks in the city in the heart of the highly coveted Lenox Hill neighborhood of the Upper East Side. The perfect first home or pied-a-terre, it features an entry foyer, a spacious living area with hardwood floors and a wall of built-ins including a queen-sized bed, a work-from-home desk and plentiful storage. The built-in bed enables the studio to serve as a large living/dining room by day and an inviting bedroom suite by night. The window above the built-in desk provides diagonal city views, as well as cross-ventilation. The wall of built-ins can easily be removed. The virtually staged photo shows what the studio would look like without them. The kitchen features stainless appliances, ample cabinetry, granite countertops and a ceramic tile floor. The windowed bathroom features classic white-tiled walls, white marble-tiled floor, and an oversized closet. There are also two over-sized closets in the entry foyer area. Charing Cross House is a well-managed, full-service co-op offering 24-hour doorman service, a stately marble lobby, state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, on-site laundry room, bike and storage rooms, and a live-in resident manager. You re also just minutes away from Whole Foods, Citarella s, Grace s Marketplace, Target, Equinox and countless restaurants and shops. For recreation and relaxation, Central Park, the crown jewel of Manhattan, is just a few blocks away. The building is conveniently located across the street from the 72nd Street subway station for the Q train, which provides you with easy connection access to many major subway lines throughout Manhattan. There are also several Citi Bike stations nearby, including one across the street. The M72 crosstown bus stop is just across the street as well. The 6 train on Lexington Avenue is also easily accessible. The low monthly maintenance fee of $1,002.02 makes this home even more compelling. The building permits pets and pied-a-terres. There is a monthly assessment for capital improvements of $144.05 per month through February 2026.
