The Amherst
401 East 74th Street, #2A

Welcome to a beautifully and recently renovated very warm and serene two-bedroom, one bath home. As one enters, on the left is a new Cedar closet with solid wood doors. The inviting dining area is on the right. The sitting and entertainment areas stretch to the wall of windows looking down on the beautiful ever green trees of the sun-filled courtyard garden.

The primary bedroom is spacious and could fit a king-sized bed easily and furniture. The second bedroom is extremely large with a closet and windows. The pristine kitchen boasts hand crafted wooden cabinets by Banner and lovely Royal Danby marble counter-tops and back splashes, over the counter lighting, and GE Profile stainless-steel stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher.

The overhead lighting and the under-cabinet lighting are enhanced with dimmers. The 24" deep cabinets have rolling shelves in them to easily get to items in the back. The Liebherr refrigerator fits perfectly in this fabulous kitchen.

The floor is made of 24" x 12" rectangular tiles. The sink faucet is Kohler with a pull-down sprayer. The spa-like bathroom has been completely renovated including the solid wood door and doorframe.

There are 1212 white tiles on the walls and beautiful hexagonal floor tiles. The Rainforest shower with a handheld spray fit perfectly with the large Kohler soaking tub. There are six custom fitted large closets in this spacious home.

The floors are new wood parquet. Apartment 2A has through-the-wall air-conditioners. One can easily walk to the lobby using the freshly painted stairway, instead of waiting for one of the three elevators.

This lovely quiet home is in the sought-after coop 401 E. 74 Owners Corp., a very financially strong and energy efficient coop with every amenity: 24-hour concierge, gym, community/ young people’s room, courtyard and roof deck gardens with dining tables and chairs, an attached garage, and a resident manager. The shareholders are delighted with Bulk Rate Electric bills, a gas boiler, a new high efficiency CoGenerator (CO- GEN ), and the use of LED fixtures throughout, which greatly reduce the environmental footprint while substantially reducing both the owners and building heating and electricity costs.

The hallways, elevators, lobby, gym, community/young people’s room, roof deck, and laundry room have been renovated with no assessments to any shareholder. Washer-dryers are not allowed in individual units. The Amherst has low maintenance bills. Cable companies include Verizon FIOS , Spectrum, and RCN . The Amherst is situated in a friendly neighborhood that has many of the most important amenities sought-after by busy Manhattanites.

This pied-a-terre and pet friendly coop is very close to the Q train and an easy walk to Central Park, East River Promenade, Sotheby’s Auction House, as well as many other parks in the neighborhood. There are many great restaurants, bars, food shops and grocery stores, as well as hospitals and medical facilities close by. A perfect apartment in a perfect coop!
