Smještena na kultnom uglu Upper East Sidea, na križanju Madison Avenue i East 72nd Streeta, jednu ulicu od Central Parka, zgrada na adresi 28 East 72nd Street („The Waldo Mansion“) elegantna je peterokatna gradska kuća od vapnenca iz pozlaćenog doba, s neograničenim potencijalom. Do kraja 2026. godine najamnina za jedan od stanova i jednu od poslovnih jedinica povećat će se za 1.500 USD.

Izvorno izgrađena 1897. godine za Gertrude R. Waldo prema projektu arhitekata Kimball & Thompson kao obiteljska vila u neofrancuskom renesansnom stilu (châteauesque), nekretnina je trenutačno organizirana kao potpuno iznajmljena zgrada mješovite namjene s 5.358 četvornih stopa unutarnjeg prostora i 9.242 neiskorištene četvorne stope FAR-a. To pruža jedinstvenu priliku pronicljivom kupcu da obnovi kuću i vrati joj nekadašnji sjaj kao uglednoj obiteljskoj rezidenciji u iznimnoj ulici ili da je zadrži kao dugoročno prihodovnu nekretninu u jednom od najprestižnijih i najvrjednijih četvrti na svijetu.

**Arhitektonski opis:**

Na ulaznoj razini nalazi se lučno zasvođen ulaz s pripadajućim lučno zasvođenim prozorom, koji ostavlja dojam arkade. Pročeljem vile dominira istaknuti zaobljeni erker na drugom i trećem katu, nadvišen balustradom. Na oba kata nalaze se trostruki prozori pravokutnih nadvoja. Ispod prozora četvrtog kata nalaze se frizovi s bogato uokvirenim kartušama. Visoki dimnjak obložen vapnencem nastavlja kompoziciju nadahnutu dvorcima doline Loire. Iako je Waldo Mansion oblikovan prema francuskim dvorcima iz 16. stoljeća, njegova smanjena veličina i urbani položaj rezultirali su karakteristično američkom arhitektonskom tvorevinom kasnog 19. stoljeća.

**Lokacija:**

Zgrada na adresi 28 East 72nd Street nalazi se neposredno uz kultnu vilu Rhinelander Mansion, u kojoj se trenutačno nalazi Ralph Lauren. I nju su projektirali arhitekti Kimball & Thompson, a smještena je na jednom od najprepoznatljivijih zaštićenih povijesnih uglova u cijelom povijesnom distriktu Upper East Sidea. Ova je četvrt poznata po svojoj profinjenosti, luksuznim buticima, vrhunskim restoranima, kulturnim ustanovama svjetske klase i Central Parku. U blizini se nalaze zbirka The Frick Collection i Metropolitan Museum of Art, kao i istaknute umjetničke galerije poput galerije Skarstedt i galerije Anita Shapolsky te poznata aukcijska kuća Sotheby’s, što ovu lokaciju čini odredištem za kulturu i umjetnost.

Located on the iconic Upper East Side corner of Madison Avenue and East 72nd Street, one block from Central Park, 28 East 72nd Street ("The Waldo Mansion") is an elegant five-story Gilded Age limestone townhouse with limitless potential. By the end of 2026 the rent in one of the apartments and one of the commercial units will be increased by $1,500.

Constructed originally in 1897 for Gertrude R. Waldo by Kimball & Thompson architects as a single family mansion in the neo-French Renaissance (Châteauesque) Style, the property is currently configured as a fully occupied mixed-use asset with 5,358 interior sqft with 9,242 unused FAR. This presents the unique opportunity for a discerning purchaser to restore the home to it's former glory as a distinguished single-family residence on an exemplary block, or to hold as a long-term income producing asset in one of the most prestigious and valuable neighborhoods in the world.

Architectural description:
On the entrance level, there is a round-arched entrance with an adjacent round-arched window giving the impression of an arcade. The facade of the mansion is dominated by a projecting curved bay window at the second and third stories surmounted by a balustrade. Both stories contain triple square headed windows. Beneath the fourth floor windows are friezes with richly enframed cartouches. A tall limestone clad chimney continues a composition influenced by the châteaux of the Loire Valley. Although the Waldo Mansion is modeled on French 16th century châteaux, its reduced scale and urban setting result in a characteristically late 19th century American architectural creation.

Location:

The Frick Collection and Metropolitan Museum of Art are nearby, as well as prominent art galleries such as Skarstedt and the Anita Shapolsky Gallery, and renowned auction house Sotheby's, making it a destination for culture and the arts.
