Description

Step into the elegance of this classic 1930s Art Deco cooperative, nestled in the heart of the Upper East Side on 74th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. This well-maintained building welcomes you with a warm, inviting lobby, complete with a fireplace, setting the tone for the unique charm and character that awaits inside.

This north-facing, 1-bedroom apartment is bathed in natural light, with high ceilings and an open layout that offer a wealth of possibilities for renovation. The apartment’s pre-war details, including the step-down living room and spacious bedroom with corner windows, provide a perfect canvas to create your dream home.

Upon entry, you are greeted by a proper foyer lined with ample closet space.

The foyer leads to a generously sized living room on the left, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Directly ahead is a windowed kitchen with room for a cozy dining area, while the bedroom and windowed bathroom lie just beyond the living room.

This full-service, pet-friendly building offers a host of amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, courtyard garden, laundry facilities, rentable storage, and a bicycle room. The building also allows in-unit washer/dryers upon approval.

Located just one block from Equinox and with easy access to the 2nd Avenue subway and the 6 train, you’ll enjoy the convenience of nearby dining and shopping, including the iconic JG Melon right on the corner.

Pieds-a-terre, parents purchasing for children, and subleasing are permitted with Board approval. Up to 80% financing is allowed, and the 2% flip tax is shared equally between buyer and seller.

Embrace the opportunity to renovate and customize this pre-war treasure in one of Manhattan’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
