Property Description for 340 East 74th Street, 12-GH

SIGNIFICANT PRICE DROP. This fully renovated 3Bed / 3 Bath NOW $2,499,000

Apartment 12GH is a Simply Must See! Created from the seamless combination and extensive renovation of two apartments, the home truly has the feeling of a house. Easy access to the Co-op's Rooftop Oasis completes the picture, offering a beautiful "backyard."

A wide entry foyer leads to the three main areas of the apartment. The primary suite is a fabulous retreat, offering privacy from the rest of the apartment. Four double closets and a walk-in, all configured by California Closets, offer ample storage. This oversized suite features a wall of windows facing south, and easily fits a king-sized bed and double night tables, with plenty of room for matching club chairs and other furniture. The en suite bath, with travertine tiles, has a double vanity and a large shower with a built-in bench and rain shower. The other two bedrooms, which also face south, are accessed by their own private hallway off of the living room. Both bedrooms have large California closets and share a full bath. There is a full-sized washer/dryer within its own closet, off this hallway.

Entertaining in this home is a pleasure. The living room seamlessly flows into the adjacent dining and sitting areas. Situated on the corner of the building, the north, east and south exposures capture the city and provide great light, both day and night. The powder room is a full size bath with a shower. The spacious kitchen offers custom cabinetry, granite counter tops, top of the line stainless appliances, a Subzero wine refrigerator, and a large island with seating. Throughout the entire apartment there is custom cabinetry under all 20 windows, hardwood engineered floors, high ceilings, and recessed lighting that is controlled individually or through a master panel. There is a Control 4 System for home management and a PRO temperature control system.

Another unique feature is that a hallway storage closet trades with the apartment. It was purchased by the sellers, custom shelving was installed, and it is directly across the public hallway from the apartment.

The Avon House is an impeccably maintained full-service boutique Co-op that was converted in 1990. The building offers a full time Doorman, live-in Resident Manager, secured storage, bicycle room, central laundry room and an inviting rooftop oasis (with WiFi, a shower and plenty of seating). Pets are welcome with Board pre-approval. A pied-a-terre is permitted, 80% financing is allowed and there is a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser. With the City's transportation, schools, shopping and restaurants close by very simply, it is a Must See Property.

A great opportunity for a Buyer. OPEN HOUSEs: Saturday, 2pm-4pm and Sunday, 11am-1pm

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.
