34 W 74TH Street #4C

A home for all seasons. Stunningly delightful floor-through 2 Bedroom + Den, 2 Bath apartment in an elevator townhouse co-op on a prime park block. Respectful modern updates mesh perfectly with original details to create a sophisticated and serene environment. From a semi-private elevator landing, enter 4C through a cozy L-shaped foyer and step into the spacious living room featuring dark hardwood floors, 10'5" coffered ceiling, and a show stopping art deco wood burning fireplace with travertine mantel. French doors open to a wrought iron Juliet balcony overlooking the varied, beautiful architecture of West 74th Street. The living room flows seamlessly to the dining area which features a library backdrop with floor to ceiling built-in display and book shelves. This home is a wonderful setting for memorable get-togethers with loved ones. The kitchen stretches over 15 feet in length. Features include a 6 burner Viking range, wine storage including a dual zone SubZero wine refrigerator, and an extra prep sink. There are quartzite countertops, a stainless steel backsplash, and a chalkboard wall to announce today's menu. A large custom pantry cabinet provides additional storage with style. This is a kitchen for people who love to cook. The den and bedrooms are gracefully separated from the more social spaces of the apartment by a linear hallway with the second full bath perfectly positioned to service guests. The open pass-through den acts as another transition to the bedrooms and has built-ins that cleverly conceal a flat screen television, audio equipment, and the in-unit washer and (vented) dryer. A walk-in closet between the den and second bedroom provides versatile storage options. Both bedrooms face south with excellent natural light from oversized windows. The larger primary chamber has an en-suite marble bath, large dressing area with custom walk-in closet, and a private balcony perfect for morning coffee and evening toasts. There is even an "attic" storage space in the primary bedroom dressing area accessible via pull-down stairs. The second bedroom has built-in file storage and shelving. Custom, adjustable lighting throughout the apartment; Central Air Conditioning as well. A truly special environment both for welcoming guests, and also for living every day in comfort and style. With Central Park just a half block away, and the great shopping, restaurants, transportation, and cultural attractions of Lincoln Square and the Upper West Side nearby, this may be the perfect New York City apartment for you. 32-34 West 74th Street is a 13 unit self-managed co-op with a landmarked 1904 Neo-Georgian style facade.
