Property Description for 401 East 74th Street, 11-E

"Accepted Offer on January 19, 2020 - Contract Pending"

The seller is relocating and entertaining all offers for this apartment located in a full-service building.

This corner E-line property with open city views is unique from other floor plans within the building. The owner, prior to moving in, had a walk-in closet built in the oversized master bedroom, and combined extra space with another closet to create a study/nursey. Also, the kitchen was expanded to incorporate additional cabinets to hold formal dinnerware for those special dining or champagne evenings.

As you enter the foyer of this apartment you are immediately drawn to the natural light that is illuminating through the wall of windows. This property can be easily converted to a JR4 as shown on the alternate floor plan while maintaining a large living and dining room combination. There is a beautiful wood oak floor and five-inch crown molding throughout the apartment. The air conditioners are through-the-wall.

The kitchen has an abundance of cabinets with white Corian countertops, and a white backsplash complemented with decorative navy-blue stripes. The kitchen was extended with additional cabinets and matching finishes. This extended area can easily be converted back to two oversized closets or you may remove the lower cabinets and have a breakfast nook.

This is a full-service residential building with a 24-hour doorman. There are two residents’ elevators and one service elevator in the building for 21 floors. There is a gym for adults and a playroom for children conveniently located on the first floor of the building, allowing for natural sunlight. In addition, there is a courtyard, bike room, storage room (waiting list) and a huge laundry room in the basement, all of which are for the exclusive use of the residents. The building also has a roof garden for your leisure throughout the year, with an outdoor shower for you to cool off during the hot summers. The common areas of the building have been equipped with 29 cameras for your security and are monitored by the 24-hour doormen.

Further third-party benefits include: Window washer every Saturday – cost is $10 per window; your choice of cable; TimeWarner, RCN, or FIOS, free exterminator service is available every second Thursday of the month, garage accessible through the building, and all work requests for the building can conveniently be submitted online through Building Link.

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.
