Property Description for 401 East 74th Street, 6-L
This inviting apartment offers a spacious layout with a private terrace, two large bedrooms, beautiful Brazilian cherry wood floors, and abundant storage throughout. The open kitchen is thoughtfully designed with granite countertops, an island with ample storage, and a built-in wine cooler. Stainless steel appliances, cherry cabinets, and over-the-counter lighting elevate the space. The master bedroom overlooks the beautifully landscaped terrace, while the second bedroom is generously sized, offering flexibility for use as a home office or guest room.
The bathroom is tastefully designed with earth-tone tiles, a vanity sink cabinet, and a mirrored wall cabinet, creating a sophisticated yet functional space. Throughout the apartment, crown and base moldings add elegance, while abundant closets with neatly organized interiors ensure ample storage.
The Amherst is a full-service, financially strong building offering a wide range of amenities designed for comfort and leisure. Residents enjoy a year-round rooftop garden, complete with dining areas and an outdoor shower to cool off during hot summer days. The beautifully landscaped courtyard garden provides a serene retreat, while indoor amenities include a fully equipped gym, a community room, a spacious air-conditioned laundry room with new machines, a childrens playroom, and an attached garage for convenient parking.
Building management is exceptional, with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and a dedicated full-service staff. The building has two resident elevators and one service elevator for convenience. Security is enhanced with 29 surveillance cameras monitoring the common areas.
Recent renovations include updates to the lobby, hallways, and community room, with air conditioning added to the hallways for improved comfort. The Amherst is flexible in its ownership policies, allowing pied-a-terre use, co-purchasing, parents purchasing for children, and subletting.
Energy efficiency is a priority, with The Amherst featuring a CoGeneration System to reduce electricity costs and carbon emissions, while keeping essential systems operational during power outages. Bulk electricity savings are passed on to residents, and the building offers connectivity through FiOS, Spectrum, and RCN. BuildingLink technology keeps residents informed of deliveries and building updates.

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.
