Property Description for 340 East 74th Street, 9-C

Introducing a newly updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner unit with three exposures in a full-service co-op in the Upper East Side. This spacious, light-flooded home boasts an expansive layout, gracious entrance foyer, open windowed kitchen with passthrough countertop, and generous closet space, as well as newly refinished original parquet floors, freshly painted interiors and new light fixtures. The heart of the home is the revamped kitchen with a white quartz countertop and breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, including a new stove, and storage extending to the ceiling with glass cabinetry accents. The 30-foot-long living and dining areas have northwest exposure and views of the architecturally significant church across 74th Street. Enjoy the dedicated dining area with a large west-facing window and enough space to seat six or more. The passthrough countertop features a breakfast bar for coffee or work on the go. In the rear of the apartment are two well-proportioned bedrooms large enough to accommodate oversized furniture. Tucked away and courtyard facing, these bedrooms are both bright and peaceful. Both full bathrooms have been tastefully updated. The ensuite primary windowed bath has been impressively upgraded with a new vanity, recessed medicine cabinet, light fixture, sink, faucet, and a newly reglazed tub. The second bathroom offers a stall shower with original vintage basketweave tiling and ample storage in the medicine cabinet above the pedestal sink. Additional features to this notable home include new radiator covers throughout, five fully outfitted closets, two of which are walk-ins, baseboard molding, through-wall air conditioning, and various electrical upgrades such as motion-activated closet lights and additional outlets in bathrooms and the kitchen. Built in 1956, The Avon House is a pet-friendly, professionally managed co-op building with a live-in super, a full-time doorman, an on-site garage, a laundry room, a stunning roof deck, a bike room and storage lockers for rent (both currently waitlisted). Co-purchasing, gifting and pied-a-terres are allowed. This convenient location in Lenox Hill is close to John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park and Central Park, as well as a wide assortment of restaurants and museums including The Met, Americas Society and the Frick Collection. Numerous buses are available, including the crosstown on 79th. The Q express is two short blocks away and the 6 train is located at 77th St. and Lexington. 2% flip tax is paid by the seller.

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.
