Matatagpuan sa iconic na sulok ng Upper East Side, sa Madison Avenue at East 72nd Street, isang bloke mula sa Central Park, ang 28 East 72nd Street (“The Waldo Mansion”) ay isang elegante at limang-palapag na limestone townhouse mula sa Gilded Age na may walang-katapusang potensyal. Pagsapit ng katapusan ng 2026, tataas nang $1,500 ang upa sa isa sa mga apartment at isa sa mga komersiyal na unit.

Orihinal na itinayo noong 1897 para kay Gertrude R. Waldo ng mga arkitektong Kimball & Thompson bilang isang mansiyon para sa isang pamilya sa neo-French Renaissance (Châteauesque) Style, ang property ay kasalukuyang nakaayos bilang isang ganap na okupadong mixed-use asset na may 5,358 square feet na interior space at 9,242 hindi nagamit na FAR. Nagbibigay ito ng natatanging pagkakataon para sa isang mapanuring mamimili na ibalik ang tahanan sa dating kariktan nito bilang isang maringal na single-family residence sa isang huwarang bloke, o panatilihin ito bilang isang pangmatagalang asset na lumilikha ng kita sa isa sa pinakaprestihiyoso at pinakamahahalagang kapitbahayan sa mundo.

**Paglalarawan sa Arkitektura:**

Sa antas ng pasukan, may isang pasukang may bilugang arko at katabing bintanang may bilugang arko na nagbibigay ng impresyon ng isang arcade. Ang harapan ng mansiyon ay pinangingibabawan ng nakausling kurbadong bay window sa ikalawa at ikatlong palapag, na may balustrade sa ibabaw nito. Ang dalawang palapag na ito ay parehong may tig-tatlong bintanang parisukat ang tuktok. Sa ilalim ng mga bintana ng ikaapat na palapag ay may mga frieze na may mararangyang naka-frame na cartouche. Isang mataas na tsimineang nababalutan ng limestone ang nagpapatuloy sa komposisyong naiimpluwensiyahan ng mga château ng Loire Valley. Bagama’t ang Waldo Mansion ay hinango sa mga château ng France noong ika-16 na siglo, ang mas maliit nitong sukat at urbanong kinalalagyan ay nagbunga ng isang katangi-tanging likhang arkitekturang Amerikano noong huling bahagi ng ika-19 na siglo. (Ang paglalarawan sa arkitektura ay mula kay Joseph Pell Lombardi.)

**Lokasyon:**

Ang 28 East 72nd Street ay direktang katabi ng iconic na Rhinelander Mansion, na kasalukuyang inuupahan ng Ralph Lauren at itinayo rin ng mga arkitektong Kimball & Thompson, sa isa sa mga pinakakilalang makasaysayang sulok ng kalye sa buong Upper East Side Historic District. Kilala ang kapitbahayang ito sa kagandahan, kahalagahan sa arkitektura at pamanang pangkultura nito, at tampok dito ang pagiging sopistikado, mga mararangyang boutique, mahuhusay na restawran, mga institusyong pangkultura na kilala sa buong mundo, at Central Park. Malapit din ang The Frick Collection at Metropolitan Museum of Art, pati na ang mga kilalang art gallery tulad ng Skarstedt at Anita Shapolsky Gallery, at ang tanyag na auction house na Sotheby’s, kaya isa itong pangunahing destinasyon para sa kultura at sining.

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.
