225 East 74 Street   Unit 4E

Welcome to 4E at 225 East 74th Street – currently set up as a large 2 bedroom, this apartment is on the fourth floor of a charming, well-designed Art Deco cooperative on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Enjoy the graciously sized rooms throughout, starting with the expansive sitting area and sunken living room when you enter the apartment. Note the two large walk-in closets that flank the entryway, equipped with 11 feet of racks for coats and off-season clothes, yards of shelves sized for every use, and room for strollers and more. Pass under the grand archway and take the two steps down to the living room, which offers plenty of space for casual nights in or formal entertaining. A beautiful bay window looking south onto tree-lined East 74th Street floods the room with sunlight that picks out details such as original built-ins, unusual ceiling molding, and parquet floors.
The windowed kitchen features full size appliances, extensive counter top space, and floor-to-ceiling cabinets. With room for a four-person dining table, this is truly an eat-in kitchen and a wonderful space for living. The sitting area opposite the kitchen could also be used as a formal dining area overlooking the living room.
Through another archway and down the hall are the two large, bright bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The king sized primary bedroom has two extra large walk-in closets and a windowed en-suite bathroom with stall shower. Almost identical in size is the second bedroom, which could also comfortably fit a king bed with nightstands, dresser, desk, etc., and includes a walk-in closet. Across from this bedroom is another windowed bathroom with bathtub.
The original layout of this apartment included a third legal bedroom, as can be seen in the alternative floor plan. The previous owners opened up the third bedroom to create the current configuration of the home which includes a large eat-in kitchen, grand living room with additional raised sitting area, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Please note that washer/dryer may be permitted with board review and engineer approval.
225 East 74th Street was built in 1938 and was converted to cooperative in the early 1980s. The building’s exterior, formal entrance, and lobby with their spectacular original detailing, and the terrazzo floors throughout, are classic examples of Manhattan’s Art Deco architecture. This pet-friendly co-op offers a full-time doorman, fantastic live-in resident manager, basement laundry room, long landscaped backyard, beautiful gardens in the front of the building, bike room, and storage available for rent. Co-purchasing, parents buying for children, and pied-a-terres, as well as up to 80% financing, are permitted. Perfectly situated between the 6 train on 77th Street and the new 72nd Street Q stop, 225 East 74th Street is surrounded by fantastic shopping, nightlife, and restaurants including Mission Ceviche, Mezzaluna, and the famous JG Melon.
Creation of the alternative floor plan would be subject to board approval. Flip tax to be split between buyer and seller.
