Overview of 1 Gracie Square

One Gracie Square is a prestigious prewar cooperative building, designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela and completed in 1929. This elegant 15-story structure features 41 units and boasts a unique architectural style characterized by intricate detailing, including a mix of quoining, irregular balconies, and varying brick shades. The building is ideally situated on the southeastern corner of East End Avenue and 84th Street, offering residents tranquil views of Carl Schurz Park and easy access to the East River Promenade.

With amenities including a doorman, elevator operator, wood-burning fireplaces, and private storage, One Gracie Square provides a sophisticated living experience. The building is pet-friendly and offers a charming residential enclave, making it a sought-after destination for those seeking peace in the heart of New York City. Nearby, residents can enjoy a range of local amenities, including a wine shop, Cafe Yura, and various other shops, with the 2nd Avenue subway just a short distance away.

The building's rich history includes a unique origin story, as the developer, Anthony Paterno, acquired the site with the stipulation of including a duplex with a 60-foot-long living room, catering to the previous owner's request. Christopher Gray, in his 2007 "Streetscapes" column for The New York Times, praised the building's eclectic design, noting its distinctive features and the octagonal rooftop water tank topped with a weathervane in the shape of a two-masted sailing ship.

Carter’s Review

"This elegant, 15-story cooperative apartment building was erected in 1929 by Anthony Paterno and designed very eclectically by Rosario Candela and William Lawrence Bottomley.

Another early resident was Maria Chapin, whose ran a prestigious girl s school cater-corner from the building."
