THE BUILDING:
**Historic Art Deco Residence on a Private Cul-de-Sac**

Nestled within a sought-after private cul-de-sac in one of Manhattan's most prestigious neighborhoods, this historic Art Deco residence exudes timeless charm and echoes with stories of New York's literary past.

In 1934, Dorothy Parker found peace in this very apartment near the East River, marking a significant chapter in her life. Today, this magnificent Art Deco gem, standing tall at 13 stories, retains its original allure, adorned with three majestic stone thunderbirds crowning its facade. Situated on a tranquil dead-end street, it offers unparalleled views of the island's edge, the FDR Drive, and the East River--a serene escape that has preserved its quiet elegance since icons like Parker and Fitzgerald graced its doorstep.

**Building Amenities**

This intimate, full-service building welcomes residents with the convenience of a doorman and elevator attendant. Whether it's a pied-a-terre or a cherished pet, this residence embraces a lifestyle of comfort and ease.

**Location**

Perched on Manhattan's East River, this enclave offers a rare blend of seclusion and proximity to the city's vibrant energy. Perfectly preserved yet steeped in history, this address embodies the allure of Manhattan's finest living.
