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

The perfect three-bedroom home on the Upper East Side does exist! This beautifully renovated corner apartment offers a flexible floorplan, abundant storage, and Western and Southern exposures. You will never be without sunlight and vibrant city views.

As you enter this sophisticated home, you notice the almost 27-foot expanse of your living and dining room. The open kitchen is highlighted by floor-to-ceiling custom wood cabinetry, shining white Corain countertops, and a large breakfast bar that seats three. The stainless-steel appliances continue this aesthetic, as the Leibherr refrigerator and Bosch stove, range, dishwasher, and microwave offer the best tools available for any home chef. Additionally, the open dining area features a custom leather banquet that comfortably seats eight.

The corner primary bedroom is graciously proportioned and faces both South and West. It has been thoughtfully designed for function and serenity with recessed lighting, custom window banquet seating and cabinetry. The elegant en-suite bath is complete with a Keuco mirrored cabinet, marble shower, and a large window. The second bedroom faces West and includes ample storage.

This floorplan provides residents with an opportunity to choose what they would prefer: a third bedroom, a home office, or an additional entertaining space. Additionally, abundant storage space is located throughout the entire home, including a huge walk-in closet in the foyer, hidden storage above the dining room, and custom shelving throughout. With sophisticated finishes, hardwood floors, and recessed lighting throughout all the rooms, this residence leaves all who view it impressed with the attention the detail.

The Amherst is a full-service cooperative, near public transportation, schools and excellent dining. The building features a 24-hour doorman, landscaped roof deck, windowed gym, laundry room, bike room, playroom, and a garage. The building permits pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, parents purchasing for children, and subletting.

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.
