A mid-block building between Second and First Avenues, it has a central Upper East Side location that is convenient to shopping, schools, religious institutions, clubs and cultural organizations. It is not far from Sotheby s, the auction house, which is on 72nd Street and York Avenue.

The building, which has 14 condominium apartments, is distinguished by a handsome façade treatment of piers created by angled bricks. It has a two-story white stone base and a two-story white-stone top.

The canopied entrance is flanked by lanterns impeded in the entrance surround.

Elevators open onto apartments with ceilings that are almost 10 feet high. All apartments have wood-, or gas-burning fireplaces, walk-in closets and three full bathrooms. Two-bedroom apartments have a separate library and “grand” duplexes have an additional powder room and terraces. Kitchens have Subzero refrigerators, Miele cappuccino machines, Viking wine coolers, and granite countertops with Venato glass tile backsplaches.

The building has a 24-hour doorman, a physical fitness center, a community room and a storage facility.

Although this location is not very convenient to the subways, there is excellent bus service on 72nd Street.
