Gracie Gardens is a prewar cooperative complex built in 1942 comprising four six-story buildings that encircle a landscaped private garden and courtyard. The property contains 22 units, primarily one-bedroom layouts, many with formal dining areas, eat-in kitchens, foyers, walk-in closets and other prewar details such as high ceilings, crown moldings and hardwood oak floors. Individual apartments range from renovated, turnkey residences with modern kitchens and baths to larger, renovation-ready units and rare corner homes with private outdoor terraces overlooking the garden and occasional East River glimpses. The co-op offers full-service staffing including a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager/superintendent and an elevator. Building-level amenities include a laundry room, bicycle storage, rentable storage bins and a children’s playroom in some listings; pied-a-terres, guarantors and co-purchases are permitted on a case-by-case basis and pets are welcome. Practical features reported across units include double-pane windows, updated electrical work, through-wall and window A/C options, and modern appliance packages in renovated kitchens. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined block in Yorkville between York and East End Avenues, the complex is a short walk to Carl Schurz Park, the East River Esplanade, Asphalt Green and neighborhood markets. Transit access includes nearby Q train service, Lexington Avenue subway lines, cross-town buses, express Wall Street buses and convenient auto access to the FDR Drive and LaGuardia Airport.
