The beige-brick building has a one-story limestone base that is simply rusticated and a two-story limestone entrance surround with a canopy and a curved marquee. It has a three-step-down entrance, a doorman, attractive sidewalk landscaping with a handsome low fence and protruding air-conditioners. It has many bay windows and rounded terraces on the second floor from the top and consistent fenestration, but no health club and no garage.

It is to the east of a pleasant brownstone apartment building at 55 East 76th Street and down the block from the entrance to the Carlyle Hotel, one of the city’s most deluxe and a major Upper East Side landmark.

This is a pretty, quiet street with an excellent Upper East Side location that has good public transportation and is very convenient to numerous museums and art galleries as well as the fashionable boutiques of Madison Avenue. Central Park is very close as is Lenox Hill Hospital.
