605 East 82nd Street — known as One Gracie Terrace — occupies one of the most secluded positions on the Upper East Side: a quiet cul-de-sac perched at the East River's edge, directly over Carl Schurz Park and the river promenade. Built in 1953 and converted to a cooperative in 1973, the 20-story red-brick tower trades on a combination of river views, balconied apartments, and the insulated calm of the Gracie enclave — the pocket of Yorkville that surrounds Gracie Mansion and Carl Schurz Park.
The building's appeal is fundamentally about position and light. A river's-edge siting means open eastern exposures over the East River and the park, with the permanence that comes from views that cannot be built over. Many apartments carry balconies — some in solarium configurations — giving residents private outdoor space with water views, a combination that is genuinely scarce on the Upper East Side. The handsome red-brick massing, the fireplace-anchored lobby, and the landscaped courtyard make it a comfortable, full-service building.
The Gracie / Carl Schurz Park enclave is one of the quietest residential pockets in Manhattan — removed from the avenue bustle, organized around the park and the river, and oriented toward family and primary-residence buyers who value calm over centrality. For buyers who want river views, private outdoor space, and a peaceful white-glove building, One Gracie Terrace is a defining option in the neighborhood.
Architecture and unit composition
The roughly 159 apartments span post-war configurations across the 20 stories. Many residences carry balconies, and some feature solarium balconies and decorative fireplaces — features that, combined with the river orientation, distinguish the building within the post-war Yorkville stock. River- and park-facing apartments on the eastern flank carry the building's view premium and its strongest light.
Post-war signatures recur throughout: efficient, practical layouts, good light, and the solid construction of 1953-era apartment design. Apartment-to-apartment variation is significant given the building's size — floor altitude, river versus interior exposure, balcony orientation, and renovation history all matter to value, and lines price on their individual merits. The largest and highest river-facing apartments, including any penthouse-level configurations, anchor the top of the building's range.
Building operations
One Gracie Terrace operates as a full-service post-war cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, a porter, and a live-in resident manager. The amenity package is unusually deep for a post-war Yorkville co-op: a fitness center, a bike room, and common storage that are free of charge to shareholders, an on-site garage, a landscaped courtyard, a fireplace-anchored lobby, and central laundry. The on-site garage is a meaningful practical advantage in a neighborhood where parking is at a premium.
The board permits financing of up to 70%, and parents may act as guarantors for their children — a feature that broadens the buyer pool to younger and first-time UES purchasers. The building welcomes dogs. It does not permit pied-à-terre ownership or open houses, so the building reads as an owner-occupant, primary-residence community rather than an investor or part-time-resident building. Buyers should review the current proprietary lease and house rules in the course of a purchase.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01590-0007) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
What to know if you’re buying
River views and balconies are the headline. The river's-edge position over Carl Schurz Park and the prevalence of balconied apartments are the building's defining advantages, and the eastern exposures are protected from future obstruction.
The financing posture is accommodating. Up to 70% financing and parental guarantors make this an easier purchase than much of the surrounding co-op stock.
It is an owner-occupant community. Dogs are welcome, but pied-à-terre ownership and open houses are not permitted — this is a primary-residence building.
On-site amenities add real value. The fitness center, bike room, and storage are free to shareholders, and the garage is a practical advantage in the neighborhood.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with river views, balconies, and the cul-de-sac calm. The water orientation, private outdoor space, and quiet are the strongest selling points, alongside the free gym, garage, and accommodating financing.
Pricing requires apartment-level comparable analysis. River versus interior exposure, floor altitude, balcony orientation, and renovation drive value more than building averages.
The buyer pool skews toward family and primary-residence buyers. The enclave's calm, the owner-occupant rules, and the amenities draw a particular, motivated demographic.
Closing timelines are co-op standard. Roughly 4–8 weeks from contract to closing, subject to board-package and interview scheduling.
