Overview of The Fontaine at 353 East 72nd Street

The Fontaine is a cooperative building located at 353 East 72nd Street in the Upper East Side of New York City. It was constructed in 1975 and converted to a co-op in 1982. The building offers a range of amenities including a 24-hour doorman, a fitness center, a bike room, a central laundry room, and a roof deck with panoramic city views. The building is pet-friendly and allows pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, gifting, and subletting after two years of ownership. The location is convenient for transportation, with the Q train and M72 bus nearby, and is close to Central Park and the East River Promenade.

The apartments in The Fontaine are known for their open layouts and abundant natural light, with many units featuring oversized windows that offer sweeping city views. Common features in the apartments include stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, and walk-in closets. Some units have been renovated with modern finishes such as marble bathrooms and custom cabinetry. The building's lobby and elevators have also been recently renovated.

The neighborhood around The Fontaine has seen significant development since the building's construction, with a proliferation of high-rise towers and plazas. This has enhanced the area's appeal, offering residents access to a variety of restaurants, shops, and cultural landmarks. The building's proximity to the Second Avenue subway line further adds to its convenience.

Despite its central location and full-service amenities, The Fontaine maintains a sense of tranquility, with many apartments offering quiet retreats from the bustling city. The building's combination of modern conveniences, spacious apartments, and a prime Upper East Side location make it a desirable choice for those seeking a comfortable and convenient urban lifestyle.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
