Property Description for 7 Gracie Square, 12-C
Gracious and Bright Classic Six-Room Upper East Side Cooperative
Located in the esteemed and highly desirable 7 Gracie Square at East 84th Street, this south-facing classic six is comprised of three bedrooms, two and a half baths.
Flooded with natural light - and in mint condition - Apartment 12C features a central entrance foyer, a corner formal dining room, working wood-burning fireplace, a washer/dryer, excellent closet space - and through-the-wall air conditioning. All of the apartment's bathrooms have been tastefully renovated - and a well-appointed and windowed chef's eat-in kitchen includes a butler's pantry, ample storage space, two sinks, and top-shelf appliances.
7 Gracie is located on one of Manhattan's few cul-de-sac's - and certainly its most prestigious. Constructed in conjunction with the creation of Carl Schurz Park (built across the street atop the then newly-constructed FDR Drive) - the buildings on Gracie Square are considered some of the Manhattan's finest cooperatives.
Carl Schurz Park itself is an urban jewel box - and accordingly beloved by area residents. Recreational spaces include one of the Upper East Side's largest and loveliest children's parks, a dog run with river views, a series of beautifully planted and maintained terraced gardens - and the storied river promenade itself - which connects the East River bike and running paths to the north and south.
7 Gracie is a full-service building with a 24-hour doorman, live-in Superintendent, bike room, state-of-the-art gym and a laundry facility. This building is a 50%-down cooperative in which pets are permitted. An ample storage cage transfers to the next shareholders, while a 2.5% flip tax is paid by the purchaser.
Gracie Square is three blocks from the 86th Street crosstown bus and four blocks from the prettiest, cleanest and most enjoyable subway experience in New York City: the Q train; the FDR is likewise accessed readily from this location, providing increased proximity to JFK, La Guardia, Connecticut and all points out east.

Upper East Side | Manhattan
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.
