Property Description for 1 Gracie Terrace, 2B/1B
If you ever dreamed of living in a rarely available charming duplex in a luxury doorman building on the UES, moments away from the East River, you have found your new home! This unique 3 bedroom 2 bathroom combination apartment has breathtaking direct river views, a townhouse feel and is just off the esplanade. It is designed for gracious living.
As you enter the first floor there is a foyer, a full bathroom, two bedrooms, and a bonus separate home office. There is also a separate area for a private washer/dryer which is permitted with co-op board approval. Throughout the entire home, there is an abundance of storage with outfitted closets.
As one ascends the gracious U staircase to the 2nd floor, you will immediately be dazzled by the sunlight streaming through the oversized picturesque living room window and unobstructed water views. Adjacent to the living room is a king-sized primary bedroom with a renovated en-suite marble bathroom. Just off the bedroom, there is a sunroom where you can enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the brilliant direct views of the east river. The updated kitchen has stainless steel appliances, with a dishwasher and a microwave. As a bonus, there is a small outdoor terrace that you can turn into your own private urban oasis.
One Gracie Terrace is an elegant postwar cooperative with full-time doorman service, a live-in superintendent, a state-of-the-art fitness center with Peloton and Cybex machines, a central laundry room, storage, a bike room, a landscaped courtyard garden, and an on-site parking garage. Pets are welcome. Guarantors are allowed. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
