THE LILIEN'S CROWN JEWEL AT 300 WEST 72ND STREET

Apartment 6D is a rare corner unit perched on the top floor of H. Herbert Lilien's distinguished 1941 Moderne gem, capturing the romance of pre-war New York living at its finest. Designed for gracious living, The Lilien's generously proportioned apartments blend Moderne and Art Deco elements throughout - and 6D exemplifies this at its best. The apartment's graceful flow begins with a welcoming entry gallery that opens to a signature sunken living room and formal dining area, with graceful archways, built-in bookshelves, hardwood floors, and curved moldings at every turn.

Soaring 9-foot ceilings - the highest in the building at this floor - and oversized windows frame sweeping corner views of West 72nd Street and West End Avenue, with even a hint of Riverside Park in the distance. Natural light floods the rooms throughout the day. The windowed kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances and a full-sized dishwasher. A windowed bath sits just beyond, and together they elegantly buffer the king-sized bedroom from the entertaining spaces. Five deep closets complete the picture, offering exceptional storage rarely found in a one-bedroom.

300 West 72nd Street is an intimate 34-residence cooperative designated within the West End-Collegiate Historic District, whose period 1940s interiors have appeared on the big screen. Impeccably managed by a dedicated live-in Resident Manager, the building's common areas retain their original terrazzo floors and period décor alongside an elevator, state-of-the-art surveillance, remote front-door access via mobile phone, a new laundry room, and a secure bike room. Flexible purchase policies include pieds-à-terre, co-purchases, guarantors, gifting, and subletting. Pets are welcome.

Ideally positioned at one of the Upper West Side's most desirable intersections, the location delivers an unparalleled lifestyle. Riverside Park's waterfront paths and the Hudson River lie half a block west - just steps from the dog run and the beloved statue of Eleanor Roosevelt - while Central Park and Lincoln Center are moments to the east. Kossar's Bagels and Bialys is across the street, with Fairway, Zabar's, and Trader Joe's all nearby. The 72nd Street station (1/2/3 lines) is one block away. World-class dining, celebrated museums, and the full cultural richness of the Upper West Side complete this quintessential address.
