Property Description for 402 East 74th Street, 5-A

You’ve imagined Upper East Side living on Lenox Hill, now reimagine it with residence 5A at 402 East 74th Street. A completely immersive space where you and all your dreams can roam free. Still appointed with pre-war details but recently renovated to create the ideal home. An oversized living area meets you with Eastern exposure for morning light. Gracing the living room is a marbled powder room (which can be expanded into a full bathroom), providing for full entertaining options without ever needing to leave your home. Facing South for all-day light, the primary bedroom can accommodate the largest of furniture and still have room to take your afternoon Zoom meetings, but wait, did you notice the home office? Just around the corner of the entry foyer lives the best 2020 partner you can find in an apartment- a dedicated home office. Make this your sanctuary, complete with moments of zen between work calls and facetiming friends. The corner bedroom off the living room has double exposure (both East & South)- arguably the best room in this haven. Perhaps you utilize this space as a nursery, perhaps you utilize this space as a guest bedroom, perhaps you utilize this room to store all of the recipes you want to try. The galley kitchen is windowed to allow for light, air, and importantly fresh ventilation after you try some of those recipes. With large cabinets that reach to the ceiling with crown molding, a tiled floor, marble counter tops and full-size stainless-steel appliances- you will want for nothing. Throughout the space you will notice the original floors, a nod to the past, where solid workmanship meant decades of future appreciation. Complementing the pre-war, are new designs, like the marble bathrooms and stone kitchen counters. Standing here is like standing in the past but living in the future, what a novel idea. This apartment will be yours for years to come: five closets for maximum storage, eight windows for maximum light, two bedrooms for maximum occupancy, plus one and a half bathrooms for maximum comfort. If the above didn’t catch your eye, let’s pay attention to the monthly maintenance, sitting at a basement level price of just above $1600/month. Speaking of the basement, find the laundry room and live-in super both completely accessible. Separate storage available for a fee as well. Let’s get out of the basement and go straight to the top! A furnished roof deck provides private outdoor space to building residents with open city views.

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.
