Property Description for 207 East 74th Street, 5-D
This is a beautifully rendered four-plus bedroom apartment which affords gracious living as well as wonderful privacy. Entering the foyer of this one-of-a-kind apartment, one proceeds through the entrance hall where the space opens into a gracious sunlit room with a spacious living room to the left and the dining room to the right, which then connects to the large eat-in-kitchen. Walking from the dining room through the kitchen you pass a cozy breakfast nook and continue through the kitchen reaching a second door bringing you back to the entry hall. Moving left from the foyer, you have a hallway leading to the other side of the apartment. To the right is a full bathroom and, nestled behind the living room wall, is the surprisingly generous, well-appointed interior office space with natural light flowing through the glass which completes the wall at the top. The hallway, with a wall of generous closets to the left, leads to a fork. Following to the right brings you to two beautifully situated bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a den/family room, and to the left you pass another bathroom and are then introduced to two more bedrooms, including the master. The master suite holds a light-filled bedroom, a large bathroom with tub and a separate shower, as well as a spacious walk-in closet/dressing area. All rooms are generously proportioned, and the apartment overlooks trees to create an enchanting view for this most inviting and comfortable home.

Upper East Side | Manhattan
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.
