Carter's Review
This attractive, 17-story, gray-brick apartment building is a cooperative and has 72 apartments.
The building has a one-story polished gray granite base and a canopied entrance with glass doors. It has a doorman, some terraces, sidewalk landscaping, a garage, high-end retail spaces and bay windows.
The building has a prime Upper East Side location that is across the street from the
Whitney Museum of American Art, which has several trapezoidal windows that face the sidestreet. The building is also on the same attractive sidestreet as The Hewitt School so there is some noise.
There is good cross-town bus service on 79th Street and a subway station is nearby at 77th Street and Lexington Avenue.
Central Park is one block away to the west and there are numerous religious and cultural institutions nearby as well as many art galleries and fashionable boutiques. The city's best cappucino can be had across Madison Avenue at St. Amboeus, which also has incredible zabaglione ice cream and wonderful cakes.
