This large, red-brick, 35-story apartment tower is in a prime Upper East Side location, adjacent to Grace's Marketplace food store on the avenue and across from the handsome Tower East apartment building whose setbacks provide considerable light and air.

This stretch of Third Avenue is known for major luxury apartment towers surrounded by boutiques and restaurants. The rather stout Wellesley, which has a polished red granite base, has an attractive canopied entrance and lobby with a doorman and concierge. The rest of the high-rise offers a garage, gym, panoramic sundeck and laundries on every floor. Apartments include amenities like dishwashers, and gas and heat are included in rent.

There is crosstown bus service on 72nd Street but the nearest subway stations are several blocks away on Lexington Avenue. The building is in a busy residential area near shopping and transportation, and is only a few blocks from beautiful Central Park.
