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

CONTRACT SIGNED ! Apartment 12B at the Avon House is a fabulous converted legal three bedroom home that has undergone a meticulous renovation. Its corner configuration and 14 large windows offer an abundance of natural light providing bright airy interiors. Stripped down to the concrete and load bearing walls, the apartment incorporates all new electric and plumbing; custom recessed lighting, a modern smart lighting system, Habitat room temp control, air conditioning (thru the wall) and even wiring for electric shades. This is the largest apartment in the B Line.

The open plan living area features a custom designed kitchen that centers on an island covered with gorgeous calacatta white/gold quartz. The all white cabinetry is accented with brushed gold pulls. The stainless steel appliances include a Liebherr refrigerator, Vikiing dishwasher, Bosch stove and a large Frigidaire microwave. The kitchen is open to a large living room that has views south, east and west. This public area was thoughtfully designed to make stylish entertaining a seamless task.

There are white oak floors throughout and 8" base moldings. All of the wood doors are 7' tall. The living room ceiling is beautifully designed to incorporate cove lighting at two levels and features 9' ceilings. The ceiling in the primary bedroom is 9'; other ceilings are 8'25". The cabinetry throughout the apartment for the heat and air conditioning was custom designed and the finished window sills are sealed white quartz.
The foyer separates the primary and second bedroom from the public spaces. The primary bedroom is large enough for a king bed and outfitted walk-in closet. The second bedroom is almost as large as the primary and has a large outfitted closet. The third windowed bedroom (or office) was created from the original living room and kitchen floor plan. The primary has an ensuite bath which has a double sink, walk-in shower, double mirrored medicine cabinets and heated floors. The second bath has a soaking tub with the rainforest shower and a mirrored medicine cabinet. Both bathrooms feature beautiful porcelain tiles.

The Avon House is a full-service, carefully maintained boutique Co-op. The building offers a full-time Doorman, live-in Resident Manager, secured storage, bicycle room, central laundry room and an inviting Rooftop oasis (with Wi-Fi, a shower and plenty of seating). Pets are welcome with Board Approval. A pied-a-terre is permitted, 80% financing 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...Believe It!

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.
