Carter's Review
This attractive, 15-story, apartment building was erected in 1961 and converted to a cooperative in 1980. It has 103 apartments.
The red-brick building has a one-story, polished black granite with a white marble surround about the canopied entrance, which is flanked by small wall lanterns and sidewalk landscaping. The building has a doorman, bay windows, and some terraces, but no balconies, no health club and no roof deck. It has attractive retail spaces and is across Lexington Avenue from Orsay, a popular bistro that used to Mortimer's, one of the city's most famous restaurants. The building is just to the east of a four-story garage that has a nice sculpture on its façade of a horse's head.
The building is down the street from the impressive Temple Israel and around the corner from the very handsome St. Jean Baptiste Roman Catholic Church on the southeast corner of 76th Street and Lexington Avenue that was designed by Nicholas Serracino and completed in 1914.
There is good cross-town bus service on 79th Street and a subway station is nearby at 77th Street and Lexington Avenue. A supermarket is around the corner.
