For $1.4M, a mod yet minimalist Upper East Side duplex

The brokerbabble touts this duplex, located at the cul-de-sac end of East 72nd Street, as “bringing the charm of the West Village to the elegance of the Upper East Side” while also offering “best of London looks.” Sparing the dramatic lexicon, we must admit that the space, asking $1.395 million, is lovely and offers a nice set of fresh, original finishes.

The prewar apartment is a floor-through unit that features an open-concept floorplan as well as two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a powder room. Upon entering through the second floor, there is a sizable kitchen, complete with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a lengthy countertop. The adjacent living room/dining area features 9-foot high ceilings and four large windows that welcome in a plethora of natural light.

A “sculptural staircase” leads to the lower level where you’ll find the master bedroom, the second bedroom, a home office, a laundry room, and both full bathrooms. There are eight closets throughout the entirety of the home, with six located on the lower level.

Maintenance goes for $3,143/month.
