225 E 74th St Apt: 3F

New York, NY 10021

Designed by accomplished Art Deco designer Horace Ginsbern in 1937, 225 East 74th Street sits on a quiet block in the heart of the Upper East Side. A collection of dedicated full-time doormen, phenomenal live-in super, and a handy porter define what it means to live in a full-service building. A well-appointed lobby welcomes you home with beautifully maintained original details fitting of a classic pre-war NYC building.

Apt. 3F is south-facing, which allows the apartment to be bathed in light from sun-up to sundown. As you enter, you have two redesigned ELFA closets – one for coats and one very large pantry for virtually everything else. The large foyer contains all the pre-war details from recessed shelving to moldings and rounded archways. The foyer is large enough for your imagination to take-hold and gives you options for its use.

Step further into 3F, and you come upon one of the best pre-war details: the sunken living area. An incredibly large space, it allows for a full seating area as well as dining table that has sat as many as 12 when expanded. As you make your way through the living space, the secondary bedroom awaits behind sliding barn doors. This room has functioned as a guest bedroom, an office, and most recently as kids room.

Continue further through the second barn door, and you are now in a well-designed and bright kitchen with high-end appliances. A Miele dishwasher, Liebherr fridge, Bertazoni gas range & XO hood await chefs of all skill-sets – from a PB&J to service for 12 and everything in between. As you exit the kitchen, you are on your way toward the bathroom and extremely large primary bedroom with dual walk-in closets. For those that desire the upgrade to the king-size bed or need room for your current one, this bedroom easily accommodates it with room to spare. 3F has incredible flow that you will feel your first time through the space.

The East 70’s have come alive the last several years with restaurants up and down 2nd Avenue. There are multiple supermarkets, specialty and health food markets, and even a Target(!) within arms-length for your every need. The block has a nail salon, dry cleaners, and even an incredible to-go sushi place! JG Melons, UES institution and arguably the best burger joint in the whole city, is on the block. There’s an Equinox gym less than 200 feet from your front door. Lastly, the arrival of the Q train, which is literally a 3 minute walk from the building, puts the rest of the city at your fingertips.

In addition to the aforementioned incredible full-service maintenance staff, the building has multiple storage rooms, a laundry room with ample (and brand-new) washer/dryer units, a bike room, and recently renovated and landscaped outdoor area. This building is pet friendly (lots of animal lovers at 225 East 74th).

In-unit washer/dryer, pieds-à-terre, parents buying for children, co-purchasing and subleasing with Board approval. The building allows for 80% financing, and a 2% flip tax is split evenly between the buyer and seller.
