Oozing with potential and old-world charm, 132 East 74th is a 19th Century townhouse ripe for a 21st Century transformation. This one-of-a-kind home spreads 6 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and more than 5,000 sq. ft. of space across 5 spacious floors and a basement, and each floor boasts an array of period details waiting to be restored and showcased within a contemporary frame.
Features of this 18.75-ft wide house include a pristine redbrick facade, intricate wrought-iron doors and window guards, Juliet balconies, exposed brick walls, exposed wooden beams, bay windows, hardwood floors, northern and southern exposure, a 5th floor studio and solarium space with huge windows, four wood-burning fireplaces with gorgeous surrounds, an elevator serving each floor, a potential rooftop terrace, and a lush backyard with a shed, a fountain, ivy-covered walls, and a Grecian-style pergola.

The living room and library both sit one level up. Both have fireplaces, and the library has an attached wet bar. All four bedrooms occupy the third and fourth floors of the home. Each bedroom has an abundance of closet space, and three have private en-suite bathrooms. The fifth floor is a sunlit studio that can easily be converted into additional sleeping or living space. The basement possesses a laundry room, plenty of storage, a full bathroom, a kitchenette, and access to the backyard.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
