歡迎來到紐約市的一段傳奇歷史。這樣一個充滿故事的歷史機會並不常見。著名的記者、作家和長期編輯喬治·普林普頓（George Plimpton）的前住所，經過近六十年的普林普頓家族生活，現在已準備好迎接它的下一章。這個位於上東區的4700平方英尺的雙層公寓，不僅舉辦過文學精英和社會名流的傳奇派對，還曾是著名文學期刊《巴黎評論》（The Paris Review）辦公室的所在地，該期刊是普林普頓在1950年代共同創辦的。在最初的五年裡，《巴黎評論》發表了傑克·凱魯亞克（Jack Kerouac）、菲利普·羅斯（Philip Roth）和塞繆爾·貝克特（Samuel Beckett）等人的新作，其“在工作中的作家”系列中包括了20世紀美國偉大作家的訪談，如歐內斯特·海明威（Ernest Hemingway）、威廉·福克納（William Faulkner）和羅伯特·弗羅斯特（Robert Frost）。這些迷人而具標誌性的派對吸引了如楚門·卡波特（Truman Capote）、保羅·麥卡特尼（Paul McCartney）、安迪·沃霍爾（Andy Warhol）和杰奎琳·甘迺迪·奧納西斯（Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis）等名人。其他著名的朋友和鄰居包括法蘭克·西納特拉（Frank Sinatra）、艾維斯·普雷斯利（Elvis Presley）、勞勃·F·甘迺迪（Robert F. Kennedy）和沃倫·比提（Warren Beatty）。這個獨特的家本身就是一個機構，是位於著名的72街上的文化聖地，位於一系列被稱為“黑白樓”（The Black and Whites）的排屋中，這些房子的外觀具有鮮明的兩色設計、高光澤的紅漆前門，還有寧靜的石板小巷，巷子裡排列著鐵質街燈和一條景色怡人的林蔭露台，俯瞰著東河。

這座被形容為“城市中的鄉村別墅”的寬敞五臥室、六個半浴室的雙層住宅應有盡有，包括大規模的房間、全屋空調、自定義隔音的玻璃窗、美麗的硬木地板，以及嵌瓷的壁爐圍邊、原始的精緻木質飾架和眾多朝向東河的充滿光線的窗戶等迷人的歷史元素。從兩層樓的任何一側都有壯觀的水邊景色，整個公寓的角落長約60英尺。全公寓共設有40扇窗戶，9英尺的天花板，使這個寬敞的空間充滿了光線與生機，隨時待你探索。

進入前門後是一個大廳和優雅的化妝間，以迎接您和您的客人。下樓通往一個宏偉的陽光雙人客廳，享有驚人的水景和兩個燃木壁爐。在公寓朝北的一側是一個迷人的廚房，配備有FiveStar爐具和抽油煙機、博世電器、Sub-Zero冰箱以及Caesarstone工作檯，還有一個非正式的餐飲區和一個設有兩個冷藏飲料抽屜的管家儲藏室，非常適合娛樂。從第二個客廳（以前曾設有臭名昭著的台球桌）通向一間獨立的私人主套房，配有步入式衣櫃和翻新的套房浴室。然後，沿著有著莊重木製扶手的優雅樓梯上到第二層，還有另外四間臥室，其中三間設有套房浴室。樓梯頂部是一個奢華的木質書房，通往一個大型家庭房，還有另一個燃木壁爐。一個位於第二層的角落主套房宛如一個庇護所，享有寧靜的河景、自定義的內建家具、寬敞的步入式衣櫃和套房浴室。完整的洗衣房為第二層畫上句號。

541 East 72nd Street是一個成熟的寵物友好型合作社，設有居住在內的主管/居民經理，負責處理包裹投遞，還有一個全職維修工、一個自行車房和儲物室。建築後方有一個停車場。其地理位置步行可到達上東區的多所學校，以及位於72街地鐵站的Q線。居民不僅享有匿名和隱私，還可以通過雙門、電子鑰匙進入，並有視頻對講系統保障安全。“黑白樓”為繁忙城市生活的日常喧囂提供了一個受歡迎的逃離，擁有安靜的水邊位置和上東區那迷人的石板小巷。

Welcome to a legendary piece of New York City. Rarely does an opportunity steeped in such a storied history present itself. The former residence of renowned journalist, writer, and longtime editor, George Plimpton, is now primed for its next chapter after nearly sixty years in the Plimpton family. This sprawling 4,700 square foot Upper East Side duplex has not only hosted legendary parties to the Who's Who of the literary elite and society, but also housed the offices of celebrated literary journal, The Paris Review, which Plimpton co-founded in the 1950s. In its first five years, The Paris Review published new works by Jack Kerouac, Philip Roth and Samuel Beckett, and its "Writers at Work" series included interviews with great 20th century American authors such as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, and Robert Frost. These glamorous and iconic parties drew the likes of Truman Capote, Paul McCartney, Andy Warhol, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to name a few. Other famous friends and neighbors included Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Robert F. Kennedy, and Warren Beatty. This unique home is an institution in itself, a cultural mecca located on famed 72nd Street in a series of row houses known as "The Black and Whites," with their distinctive two-tone exteriors, high-gloss red lacquer front doors, and a quiet cobblestone cul-de-sac lined with iron streetlamps and a tree-lined terrace overlooking the East River.

Described as a country house in the city, the sprawling 5-bedroom, 6.5-bath duplex residence has it all including large-scale rooms, air-conditioning throughout, custom soundproofed glazed windows, beautiful hardwood floors, and charming historical elements like inlaid tile fireplace surrounds, original ornate wooden mantles, and numerous light-filled windows overlooking the East River. From both floors, there are spectacular waterfront views spanning approximately 60 feet across the entire apartment corner to corner. With 40 windows throughout and 9-foot ceilings, this expansive space is full of light and life, ready to explore.

Through the front door is an entry foyer and elegant powder room to greet you and your guests. Steps down to a grand sunlit double living room with stunning water views and two wood-burning fireplaces. On the north facing side of the apartment is a charming kitchen with a FiveStar range and hood, Bosch appliances, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Caesarstone countertops, as well as an informal dining area and butler's pantry with two refrigerated beverage drawers perfect for entertaining. Off the second living room, which formerly hosted an infamous pool table, is a separate and private primary suite with walk-in closets and a renovated ensuite bathroom. Then up the handsome staircase with its stately wooden banister is an expansive second floor and four additional bedrooms, three of which have ensuite baths. A luxurious wood paneled study is off the top of the stairs leading to a large den with another wood-burning fireplace. An additional second floor corner primary suite feels like a sanctuary with its serene river views, custom built-ins, large walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom. A full-sized laundry room completes the second floor.

541 East 72nd Street is an established pet-friendly coop with a live-in Superintendent / Resident Manager who handles package deliveries, a full time-handyman, a bike room and storage rooms. A parking garage is located directly around the back of the building. Its location is walking distance to numerous Upper East Side schools, as well as the Q train at the 72nd Street Subway Station. Residents enjoy not only anonymity and privacy, but also secured access through double doors, key fob entry, and a video intercom system. "The Black and Whites" provide a welcome escape from the daily hustle and bustle of busy city life with their peaceful waterfront location and quaint cobblestone nook on the Upper East Side.
