Building: 52 East 72nd Street

The Claremont House, steps from Central Park, the Frick and the Whiitney, is a red brick building built in 1986 as a condominium. There are only 18 stories and 20 apartments. The building has a two-story limestone base and an arched canopied entrance. There is a full time doorman.

The mid-block building has multipaned windows, a two-story rusticated limestone base and an arched, canopied entrance, a doorman, two band-courses, but no sidewalk landscaping, no garage, no balconies, no terraces and no health club.

This is a prime location in the heart of the most elegant section of the Upper East Side. Ralph Lauren’s two impressive boutiques are a few feet away at Madison Avenue and major museums and art galleries are also nearby.

While Central Park and its Boat House Café are only a short walk to the west, there are many restaurants and good neighborhood shopping nearby on Lexington and Third Avenues.

There is good cross-town bus service on 72nd Street, but the nearest subway is at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue.
