Property Description for 20 East 74th Street, 2-G

Welcome home to this beautiful, fully renovated apartment on East 74th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues, half a block from Central Park Sailboat Pond and surrounded by world-class shopping, galleries, restaurants, and museums. This apartment is perfect as a luxurious primary residence or pied-à-terre with a maintenance of only $836 per month. As you enter the apartment, you are greeted by a spacious and open layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, living room, and sunny private outdoor patio. Throughout the apartment are stunning 7.5” European oak wood plank floors, fitted closets for an abundance of storage, central air conditioning, a built-in Scavolini desk for elegant work-at-home needs (or to be used as a buffet table when hosting), a half bath for guests, and a Miele washer and dryer in the unit housed in a massive multi-purpose walk-in closet. The chef's kitchen features custom-fitted Scavolini cabinetry with white frosted glass and espresso wood, a 149-bottle SubZero wine refrigerator, a SubZero refrigerator with a water dispenser, and freezer drawers with an ice maker, a Bertazzoni stove with convection oven, a Miele dishwasher, and a stunning quartz countertop and backsplash with open shelving. There is a full-height cabinet with an appliance garage and retractable shelf. The dining area is an integral part of the layout and can fit a very large table, perfect for hosting holiday gatherings. The living room has cove lighting and a wall of floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that combine the indoor with the 300 sq. ft. south-facing outdoor patio. The outdoor patio is a peaceful sanctuary, ideal for those with a green thumb or anyone looking to relax, unwind, and dine al fresco surrounded by the backyards of historic neighborhood townhouses. The primary bedroom features three windows and receives beautiful light from the eastern and southern exposures, overlooking the patio. The en-suite bathroom has an oversized walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, a Duravit hanging toilet, a Scavolini double sink vanity with stunning Gessi "tear-drop" faucets, and radiant heated flooring. There are three large closets (including a walk-in closet) in the primary suite. 20 East 74th Street is a highly sought-after co-op on the Upper East Side's Gold Coast. Built in 1947, it features a stunning Art Deco lobby and continues to hand-deliver mail to each apartment. The building is a full-service, pet-friendly co-op that allows 50% financing and pied-a-terres. There is a live-in-super and a windowed gym. Best of all, the maintenance for this apartment is only $836 per month because the Co-op owns the building's retail space. Buyer pays 2% Flip tax

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.
