Property Description for 168 East 74th Street, 5-B
CONTRACT SIGNED. Located on a serene block, this fully renovated prewar classic 7 room, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is charming and has great energy.
Apartment 5B is a tasteful move-in ready residence that offers a gracious layout, beautifully proportioned rooms, 9 foot ceilings and herringbone floors. Enter into a grand oversized gallery. Two sets of French doors brilliantly connect the gallery, dining room and living room, expanding the entertaining space. A private hallway leads to 3 generously sized bedrooms, 2 gorgeous white Imperial Danby marble bathrooms fitted with Lefroy Brooks fixtures, and excellent closet space and built-ins throughout.
The sun-filled L-shaped kitchen is thoughtfully designed and functional. It features white marble countertops, a breakfast bar, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine cooler, a new GE Cafe Series stove with 3 ovens, Miele dishwasher and Miele stacked washer/dryer. Off the kitchen is a full staff room (or 4th bedroom), and 3rd bathroom with Waterworks fixtures and smart built-ins. There is a service hall behind the kitchen that is designated only for 5B.
This desirable apartment boasts large windows and unusual triple exposures of North, West and South. Every room has great light and views that overlook brownstones and the lush foliage of this special tree-lined street. There are through the wall air-conditioners or HVAC units in all rooms (except the staff room).
168 East 74th Street is an elegant and intimate 1926 prewar cooperative building with only three apartments per floor. It is nestled in the heart of the east side between 72nd and 79th Streets just east of Lexington Avenue. Its location offers proximity to Central Park, the convenience of world class and casual shopping, a multitude of fine restaurants, museums, schools, public transportation; all in a quiet residential surrounding. Amenities include 24 hour doorman, live-in super, laundry facility and a storage bin transferred with the unit. Pets are allowed. 50% financing and a 2.5% flip tax (paid by purchaser.)
We look forward to showing you the attributes of this wonderful home in a building with little turnover. Hours are flexible, by appointment.

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.
