Property Description for 125 East 74th Street, 4-B

Pre-War Elegance Meets Modern Luxury - In Jackie O's Former Building, Just Off Central Park

Rarely does a home so seamlessly blend timeless pre-war architecture with the sleek sophistication of a modern luxury condo. Welcome to Residence 4B at 125 East 74th Street-an exquisitely reimagined Upper East Side sanctuary, nestled in an historic co-op once home to First Lady Jackie Onassis herself. Perfectly situated just a stone's throw from Central Park, this gut-renovated gem offers a caliber of finish and thoughtful design virtually unheard of in pre-war residences.

Skip the delays, hidden costs, and stress of a full renovation-every inch of this home has already been masterfully transformed with discerning taste and the highest quality craftsmanship. It's a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty of a classic home with none of the uncertainty of a construction project.

Step inside to discover a gracious entry foyer, decked out in Phillip Jeffries wallpaper, complete with radiant heated tile flooring and discreet built-in storage that's as functional as it is beautiful. From the concealed doors and hidden drawers to the warm hardwood floors and soaring 9'5" beamed ceilings, this home preserves its architectural legacy while embracing contemporary luxury. The oversized living room is anchored by a stunning wood-burning fireplace with an elegant marble mantle. Hidden above it, a Mirror TV blends technology with tradition-allowing modern life without sacrificing charm. Abundant casement and sash windows usher in natural light from three exposures, enhancing the home's inviting ambiance.

At the heart of the residence lies a truly show-stopping eat-in kitchen, outfitted for the most discerning chef. Sleek German Leicht cabinetry, heat and scratch resistant Dekton stone countertops and backsplash from Porcelanosa, and panel-ready appliances set the tone. A Viking gas cooktop with pop-up downdraft vent, Sub-Zero Wolf microwave and oven, and Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher ensure performance without compromising aesthetics. A dedicated bar area with a multi-zone wine fridge, along with island seating for three, make entertaining effortless. Smartly concealed storage fills every available corner, maximizing both form and function.

A custom home office-bathed in sunlight through a large sash window-provides an ideal work-from-home retreat. Nearby, a walk-in closet fully outfitted by California Closets features LED-lit drawers and meticulous organization. The king-sized primary bedroom is a serene haven, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling closets flanking the bed, dual window exposures, and designer Gracie wallpaper. The spa-like, windowed ensuite bathroom boasts radiant heated marble floors, integrated storage niches, and clever Jack-and-Jill doors that allow guests to access the space without disturbing the bedroom's tranquility.

Additional features include motorized shades in every room, central air conditioning with linear diffusers, recessed lighting throughout, restored original windows, and iconic arched doorways that elevate the space with a timeless sense of style.

Designed in 1929 by the acclaimed architect Lafayette A. Goldstone-celebrated for his iconic contributions to Manhattan's architectural heritage, including 730 and 640 Park Avenue-125 East 74th Street is a distinguished pre-war cooperative that embodies enduring elegance and craftsmanship. This intimate, full-service building offers the privacy and sophistication that discerning buyers seek. A full-time doorman and attentive live-in superintendent ensure seamless service, while curated amenities-including a residents" gym, private storage cages, central laundry room, and a beautifully landscaped garden-offer comfort and convenience. Set on a picture-perfect tree-lined block, the building places you steps from Central Park, world-class restaurants, renowned schools, art galleries, and the upscale boutiques of Madison Avenue.

This is classic New York living-refined, effortless, and move-in ready.

There is a 2% flip tax, paid by the purchaser. Pieds- -terre and pets are welcome. The unit is currently vacant and easy to show.

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.
