50 East 72nd Street: Review and Ratings
between Madison Avenue & Park Avenue View Full Building Profile
This attractive, brown-brick, 15-story building was erected in 1928 and converted to a condominium in 1928. It has 52 apartments.
The building has a three-story limestone base with fluted columns flanking its canopied entrance and wrought-iron balconies on the third floor. It has a cornice and two stringcourses. It has a doorman, sidewalk landscaping and consistent fenestration except for one apartment on the sixth floor and permits protruding air-conditioners.
The building has a fine, central and very elegant Upper East Side location that is very close to the Frick Collection and the Whitney Museum of American Art and many world-famous boutiques along Madison Avenue and major art galleries in the vicinity. The high retail rents on Madison Avenue, however, mean that most neighborhood shopping such as supermarkets is not too convenient. Although the nearest subway station is several blocks away, there is good cross-town bus service.
