Property Description for 225 East 74th Street, 6-F
Wrapped windows to the south and west, this easily convertible two bedroom and one bathroom home offers phenomenal sunlight, ample storage and an open layout in a gorgeous Lenox Hill co-op.
Top-floor serenity and open-sky views make a fantastic first impression in this loft-like corner home. The oversized foyer is surrounded by huge closets, built-ins and a perfect home office nook, nodding to the storage and convenience to be found throughout.
Step down into the spacious living room featuring maple floors, 9-foot ceilings and a long, exposed brick wall — the perfect backdrop for art. The sunny corner dining room provides a great flow for entertaining or the ideal opportunity to add a second bedroom, as needs require. Bright and spacious, the open kitchen is the perfect retreat for cooks who love to spread out during their culinary adventures. Abundant cabinetry and long granite countertops deliver plenty of prep and storage space, and the fleet of stainless steel appliances includes a gas range, dishwasher and built-in microwave. Painted brick, handsome tile backsplash and stone floors add a chic mixed-materials design statement. Head to the palatial bedroom to find plenty of space for a king-size bedroom and sitting area, while the adjacent and newly renovated bathroom boasts lovely marble and modern fixtures.
Set on a quintessential tree-lined Lenox Hill block, 225 East 74th Street is a lovely Art Deco prewar co-op offering full time doorman and live-in resident manager. Residents of the pet-friendly, elevator building enjoy a landscaped courtyard, central laundry, bike room and storage, plus generous co-op rules that allow co-purchases, parents buying for children and pieds-à-terre. Set between Second and Third avenues, the dining, entertainment and conveniences the Upper East Side is known for surround the home, and thanks to its location directly between Central Park and the East River, great open space is minutes away. Transportation is effortless with both the Q and 6 train within blocks.
* Currently/legally configured as a one-bedroom.

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.
