343 East 74 Street   Unit 7HJ

Combine these twin south-facing adjacent large 1 bedroom 1.5 bath units to have a 3 bedroom home with great light, good layout, split bedrooms, 2 full and 2 half baths (or a 3rd larger bath if both adjacent 1/2 baths are consolidated), a home office, a laundry room, and space to roam at a price (under $800/sf) which is otherwise unavailable on the 70's on the UES in the 10021 zipcode in a NO BOARD APPROVAL BUILDING. These two units are owned separately but will be contracted to be sold in coordinated simultaneous closings to the right buyer who is willing to cooperate in the process. The building has several existing comb units and the Owners will start the process of obtaining permission of management to the combo, which is expected but not assured. (What is guaranteed these days?) This is a straightforward combo since no common hallway space is needed, and the livingrooms are adjacent. Really the minimum that will be added is a new doorway cut in between the two existing livingrooms (compare proposed Post-construction with Pre-construction floorplans) and some sheetrock and a new door to create a 3rd bedroom out of the smaller existing livingroom to the west. No plumbing or electrical is contemplated (except for closing the west kitchen and capping the gas line) and making it a laundry room, which results in a job which is less costly and labor intensive. Units being shown for sale together only, and not individually. Bonus: 2 small balconies face each other for fun entertaining. Have coffee facing East in the AM and cocktails facing West in the PM. There is a long land lease, with a maintenance that is approximately 52% tax deductible.
