Property Description for 174 East 74th Street, 3-A

Welcome home to this completely gut-renovated split two-bedroom corner apartment that perfectly blends prewar beauty with top-of-the-line renovations, all nestled in an exceptionally well-run, full-service postwar building in the heart of the Upper East Side. Upon entering the gracious foyer and continuing straight, you’ll find yourself arriving in the dramatically expansive living room, measuring over 27 feet long.  The rectangular configuration allows maximum flexibility with how you want to use the space, perfect for fabulous entertaining, at-home work setups, a reading nook, and countless other priorities as your life evolves. Continuing into the space, there is a romantic and generous dining area that allows for a dining table that can easily fit 8 and delivers an iconic view, wrapping the northeast corner and looking down at the New York cityscape and the idyllic green facade of J.G. Melon across the street. Turning left from the dining area, you’ll enter the tastefully renovated windowed kitchen, complete with custom cabinetry, Bosch appliances, a gas oven, and ample preparation and counter space, making this a dream for any chef, advanced or burgeoning.  The graceful kitchen is the perfect setting to enjoy casually arranging meals with others in the space, completing extensive meal prep, or just quietly enjoying a cup of coffee while basking in the morning light. The layout has an organic flow to it while maximizing the space to the fullest, as the dining and living spaces warmly greet you and your guests, yet tucked on opposite sides of the apartment, your bedrooms are private and secluded. The primary bedroom suite features three closets and an en-suite bathroom, gut-renovated and complete with Kohler fixtures. The large secondary bedroom is located across the hallway, adjacent to its own bathroom, similarly gut-renovated, also featuring Kohler fixtures. This wouldn’t be a dream home if it didn’t include its own Miele washer and dryer, brand new through-wall air conditioning units, and custom California closets throughout its whopping 6 closets. This home has been completely renovated down to the studs. It features brand-new electrical and plumbing; solid wood doors; Nobilis and Scalmandre wallpaper; and Rejuvenation hardware, custom molding, and custom millwork throughout. The cherry on top is the low monthly maintenance fee, which helps to keep your carrying cost quite palatable. This friendly and immaculately maintained 12-story co-op allows for pets (note: only one dog per residence, and it must be under 18” tall) and features 118 residences, a 24-hour doorman, a fantastic live-in super, a bicycle and storage room, laundry, an elevator, and a small garage. Here you get the best of everything on the UES: being only minutes from Central Park, easy access to the 6 and Q trains, and the countless restaurants, bars, grocery stores, museums, and shops all within close proximity. Please contact the exclusive agent for all inquiries and to schedule appointments.

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.
