The Fontaine is a post‑war, full‑service cooperative tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, completed in 1975. Rising roughly 35 stories with fewer than 50 residences, the building offers one‑ to three‑bedroom floor plans with a low‑density layout (about four units per floor). Facade and massing are typical of mid‑1970s high‑rises, while many apartments have been renovated to include open kitchens, granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, recessed lighting and oversized windows that provide broad city and treetop views. Interiors emphasize storage—walk‑in and built‑in closets are common—and features such as entrance foyers, kitchen islands, pantries and updated baths appear in recently refreshed units. Common areas and resident services are oriented toward convenience and community: a 24‑hour doorman, live‑in superintendent, newly renovated lobby and passenger elevators support daily living, while on‑site amenities include a furnished roof deck, a fitness room, bicycle storage, communal laundry and tenant storage rooms. The building permits pieds‑à‑terre and pets and evaluates co‑purchases, gifting and guarantors on a case‑by‑case basis. Utilities and in‑unit climate control are handled with thru‑wall HVAC or owner‑installed systems in many homes. Located on a tree‑lined block near the Q line and close to the 6 train, The Fontaine sits within walking distance of Central Park, the East River promenade, major hospitals and an array of neighborhood shops, groceries and restaurants. The neighborhood mix supports both everyday errands and nightlife, making the building a convenient, full‑service option for a range of residents.
