Gracie Gardens is a low-rise, prewar cooperative complex built in 1942 comprising four connected six‑story buildings and about 30 residences arranged around a large, planted central courtyard. The masonry façades and classic prewar proportions conceal apartments that range from compact three-bedroom plans to larger five‑bedroom homes; many units retain original details such as crown moldings, arched entries, and hardwood floors alongside renovated kitchens and baths. Common interior features include formal entrance foyers, separate dining rooms, windowed kitchens, ample closet space and smoke-free public corridors. Shared facilities serve daily needs: a 24‑hour doorman and live‑in superintendent, laundry room, bike room, storage, and a community/playroom. Exterior amenities focus on landscaped outdoor living with a planted garden and private outdoor spaces for some units. The co‑op’s pet, pied‑à‑terre and co‑purchase policies are board‑approved, and resident services are supplemented by attentive building staff. Located on the Upper East Side adjacent to Asphalt Green and a block from Carl Schurz Park and the East River, the complex benefits from nearby parks, fitness facilities, crosstown buses, multiple subway lines, and a ferry terminal, creating a neighborhood oriented toward outdoor recreation, schools, and local dining.
