The Fontaine is a 36 story post-war co-op at 353 East 72nd Street in Lenox Hill, with 137 apartments. Built in 1975 and converted from a rental to cooperative ownership in 1982, the mid-block tower is set behind a small plaza; strong vertical piers divide its broad picture windows, giving upper floors open views over the surrounding high rise enclave.
Oversized windows, generous light and broad living and dining areas recur throughout the building, with both north and south exposures represented. Walk-in closets are common, and several layouts allow living space to be reconfigured as an additional bedroom or office. Residence 3CD is a combined home that joins two original one bedroom lines, placing south facing public rooms opposite north facing private rooms overlooking the courtyard.
The renovated lobby is staffed by a 24 hour doorman and supported by a live-in superintendent. The building also has a fitness center, central laundry room, bike room, resident storage and a furnished roof deck with panoramic city views. Terraces and balconies are part of the residential design, and the co-op is pet friendly and permits pieds-à-terre; subletting is allowed after two years of ownership.
The 72nd Street station for the Q train is on Second Avenue along the same cross town block, while the 6 train stops at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue several blocks southwest. John Jay Park and the East River Esplanade lie to the east, with Central Park to the west across the Upper East Side.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
