Property Description for 154 East 74th Street
Behind the gate at 154 East 74th Street awaits a home that is cheerful and relaxed.
On the first level you will find a bedroom / den, a full bathroom, and a generous media room with a gas fireplace, and adjoining wet bar. With French doors leading to the lush private garden lined with greenery, this area makes the ground floor the perfect spot for entertaining. The south facing garden is large enough for multiple seating areas and is fully enclosed by tall fencing and mature trees allowing for total privacy.
Ascend to the second level to find the main living area of the home. The open eat-in kitchen has been designed with custom cabinetry and refrigeration system as well as two sinks, a sleek induction cook-top, Gaggenau oven, and large center island. This kitchen is functional when cooking for one or one dozen. The large dining area and four floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden make this room comfortable and sunny.
Down the hall, the living room is the most formal of rooms in this otherwise casual home. It is large enough to fit a grand piano with a spacious seating area surrounding the wood burning fireplace and adjacent powder room.
The entire third level is devoted to the master suite which includes a library with built in book shelves, a spacious master bedroom, and bathroom equipped with a heated marble floor, Jack-and-Jill sink, custom stalled shower area and a large walk-in closet. This floor also offers the convenient second washer / dryer.
Two bedrooms, both with en-suite baths are located on the fourth level. Here you will find the home's fourth fireplace in one bedroom and an exposed brick wall in the other. The massive skylight welcomes light that carries from this floor to all of the levels below.
The finished basement features impressive amenities including a large laundry area, ample storage space, a wine cellar, and a gym.
This home is fully renovated ready for a quick and effortless move in.

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.
