1 Gracie Ter

One Gracie Terrace is a midcentury, full-service cooperative tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1953 and rising about 20 stories. The building predominantly offers one-bedroom layouts but features a variety of apartment configurations created through combinations and duplex conversions; many residences include formal entry foyers, separate dining areas, dens or sunrooms, and generous closet space. Architecturally it presents a modest postwar façade and occupies a quiet cul‑de‑sac adjacent to the East River promenade and Carl Schurz Park, giving many units direct or wide river views and oversized windows. Shared interiors reflect traditional cooperative living: a staffed 24-hour doorman desk, live‑in superintendent, recently refreshed hallways, and communal laundry. Resident amenities emphasize wellness and convenience — a renovated, shareholder‑complimentary fitness center with modern equipment, landscaped courtyard garden and patio lounge, bike room, basement storage cages, and an on-site garage. The co-op permits in‑unit washer/dryers subject to board approval, allows pets and pied‑à‑terre arrangements, and accepts guarantors; financial policies include a buyer-paid flip tax and examples of temporary capital assessments in the past. The location supports an active, park‑and‑river‑oriented lifestyle with immediate access to green space, ferry service, crosstown and subway links, nearby grocery and dining options, and the FDR Drive.
