Property Description for 343 East 74th Street, 7-HJ

Combine these twin south-facing adjacent large 1 bedroom 1.5 bath units to have a 3 bedroom home with great light, good layout, split bedrooms, 2 full and 2 half baths (or a 3rd larger bath if both adjacent 1/2 baths are consolidated), a home office, a laundry room, and space to roam at a price (under $800/sf) which is otherwise unavailable on the 70's on the UES in the 10021 zipcode in a NO BOARD APPROVAL BUILDING. These two units are owned separately but will be contracted to be sold in coordinated simultaneous closings to the right buyer who is willing to cooperate in the process. The building has several existing comb units and the Owners will start the process of obtaining permission of management to the combo, which is expected but not assured. (What is guaranteed these days?) This is a straightforward combo since no common hallway space is needed, and the livingrooms are adjacent. Really the minimum that will be added is a new doorway cut in between the two existing livingrooms (compare proposed Post-construction with Pre-construction floorplans) and some sheetrock and a new door to create a 3rd bedroom out of the smaller existing livingroom to the west. No plumbing or electrical is contemplated (except for closing the west kitchen and capping the gas line) and making it a laundry room, which results in a job which is less costly and labor intensive. Units being shown for sale together only, and not individually. Bonus: 2 small balconies face each other for fun entertaining. Have coffee facing East in the AM and cocktails facing West in the PM. There is a long land lease, with a maintenance that is approximately 52% tax deductible.

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.
