7 GRACIE Sq 3B

"On the typical residence, the front door might go unnoticed. Yet 7 Gracie Square, built upon one the City's most prestigious addresses, located between East End Avenue and the East River, is hardly typical," the home of a legendary Historic Preservationist, this Art Deco gem is not to be missed. "The double doors and flanking ironwork are a frenzy of swirling shapes in brass and iron, plated with precious metals, populated by gazelles, elephants and sinuous plants. Now these 1929 masterworks of metal gleam in the northern light from Carl Schurz Park," as so noted in the New York Times once restored. Beautifully positioned with direct Park and partial River views, this Classic Five at Number Seven Gracie Square is the epitome of refined living. Located in a cul de sac overlooking nature, this wonderful home has been maintained as it was designed in 1928 by George B. Post & Rosario Candela. A gracious gallery opens to a 21' living room with leafy Park views. There is a lovely formal dining room with a service door to the butler's pantry and windowed kitchen. Each bedroom has walk in closet space as well as windowed en-suite baths. The design of the living room and dining room creates a gracious entertaining space, with the marble fireplace bringing warmth. This full service Pre-War Cooperative offers all of the convenience of the Upper East Side, without the congestion of much of the 80's while still close to many of the best schools in the America. 7 Gracie Square is not only a pet friendly building, but is also open to well financed first time home buyers.
