Dramatic River Views - 10 Gracie Square
10 Gracie Square is one of the most prestigious and exclusive prewar buildings in Manhattan. It is the most desirable residential building overlooking the East River and Carl Schurz Park and is distinguished by its elaborate rooftop and bold pinnacle, an interior driveway that leads to three entrances, and its façade. Completed in 1930, its residents have included Gloria Vanderbilt, conductor Andre Kostelanetz, critic Alexander Woollcott and the publishers John Fairchild and Horace Havemeyer III. The 15-story building originally had a private club below street level that opened onto a dock which has since been converted to a squash court and fitness center. The apartment itself is a gracious classic six in excellent condition with spectacular River views, a grand entrance hall, a wood burning fireplace in the grand scale living room, a formal dining room, two bedrooms with baths and large walk-in closets, a maid’s room with bath, and window seats from which to watch the yachts sail by.
