Description

Great Opportunity to live in a perfect 2 BR, 1 Bath in a perfect location in a perfect coop on the Upper East Side. This special home is full of light with a wall of double-paned windows in all of the rooms. The living dining area is extremely spacious with room for a work desk or play area. The kitchen counter tops are clad with black granite enhanced by over the counter lighting. The primary bedroom is huge with a large closet in the bedroom and two others just outside in the dressing area. Also, the primary bedroom has CitiQuiet windows as well as black-out shades for a restful night's sleep. The second bedroom is wonderful and bright with charming wanes coating. The renovated bathroom has a shower and bathtub. The under-sink wood cabinet has an extensive granite countertop. The medicine cabinet has large mirrors above the sink area. All of the apartment doors have been replaced and are beautiful wood. This is a very gracious and inviting home.

This beautiful home is in 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, an attached garage, and resident manager. The shareholders are delighted with bulk rate Electric bills, a gas boiler, a new high efficiency Co-Generator (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 recently 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. This beautiful apartment is situated in a friendly neighborhood that has many of the most important amenities that are 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, as well as the many other parks in the neighborhood

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
