The building 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 it a significant chapter in her life. Standing tall at 13 stories, this magnificent gem retains its original allure, adorned with three majestic stone thunderbirds crowning its facade. Situated on a tranquil dead-end street, it offers unparalleled views and a serene escape that has preserved its quiet elegance since icons like Parker and Fitzgerald graced its doorstep. This intimate, full-service, white glove building welcomes residents with the convenience of a full-time doorman, elevator attendant, and live-in superintendent. Pets and pieds- -terre are allowed.
