Property Description for 6 East 74th Street
Delivered entirely vacant, 6 East 74th Street is ideal for a single-family mansion conversion, with an impressive 23-foot-wide light-colored facade spanning six levels and a striking copper bay window complementing its elegant design.
Located right off Fifth Avenue on a historical block, lined with some of the Upper East Side's finest examples of turn-of-the-century architecture and moments away from Central Park.
Built-in 1871 on an oversized 22.5-foot wide by 102.17-foot-deep lot and measuring over 9,700 sqft (approx.) of interior space, this townhouse is currently configured as a multi-unit residence consisting of four residential units and a full-floor professional office unit on the garden level.
This sprawling townhouse features remarkable Teakwood interior details from 1898 by renowned designer Lockwood de Forest, whose works are featured in the Copper Hewitt Museum, in addition to a beautiful stained-glass conservatory and soaring ceiling heights measuring almost 13 feet high in the parlor level.
This entire townhouse enjoys high ceilings on every level with large exposures throughout original architectural elements and six wood-burning fireplaces with period tile surrounds.
Other features of this townhouse include 1,600 sqft (approx) of private south-facing outdoor spaces across three levels, not including the rooftop, which features iconic views of Central Park, The Carlyle, and the skyline.
Being the tallest townhouse on this street, this property enjoys generous southern-facing light throughout the day on each level.
Each level of this townhouse is serviced by an Otis Elevator (Cellar - PH), a rarity for a house of this period.
This townhouse is fully free market and will be delivered entirely vacant.
Located on one of the Upper East Side's top townhouse blocks, 6 East 74th Street neighbors two consulate residences, a beautifully renovated Beaux-Arts mansion, prime Fifth Avenue buildings, and leading cultural institutions.
6 East 74th Street offers endless possibilities and is a true rarity in the townhouse market.

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.
