Robert Moses' Upper East Side Condo Listed For $1.9 M

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — An Upper East Side condo once owned by polarizing builder and city planner Robert Moses has hit the market for $1.9 million. The eighth-floor apartment, located on prestigious Gracie Terrace near East End Avenue and East 82nd Street, features pristine views of the East River.

Moses — who transformed New York into a city of tall towers and long highways, often times displacing people and destroying residential neighborhoods — was the apartment's original tenant. He lived in the space during the 70s until his death in 1982 at the age of 92, the New York Post first reported.

The spacious 1,600-square-foot apartment has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Future owners can look forward to top-of-the-line appliances such as a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking Range and a Bosch Dishwasher and prime views of the East River from a terrace balcony.

The building is described as "full service" in the real estate listing and features complementary amenities such as access to a gym, bike room, laundry room, garden and basement-level storage. The building also has an on-site residential manager and garage.
