Description

Residence 2E is the ultimate one bedroom home that will satisfy even the most discerning buyer. Homes rarely become available in the building due to very low maintenance, a desirable location and just steps to Central Park. (Oh, and this apartment was once owned by one of the main stars of 'Sex in the City'.)

Everything about this home is gracious, with oversized living spaces, true home office, renovated kitchen, bath and custom closets. A private terrace overlooks 74th Street, with views of historic buildings along Madison Avenue and the 74th Street townhouses, while offering a serene place for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Mahogany flooring flows seamlessly throughout the home offer rich warmth to the space. Both the living room and kitchen look out over the terrace, providing privacy and greenery. Enjoy a fully renovated kitchen with Miele appliances, a Liebherr refrigerator, honed black marble countertops and cabinetry by Poliform. Custom built-ins have been added to the dining area with quartz countertops, a wine refrigerator and upper glass cabinets. A custom, reclaimed wood barn door closes off the home office or nursery from the main living space.

The master bathroom is one of the largest in the building and features a floating double vanity with quartz countertops, travertine marble throughout and an oversized shower equipped with full body sprays, for a true spa experience. A floor-to-ceiling Restoration Hardware medicine cabinet completes the already ample storage. The a/c units in both rooms were replaced in 2015.

Located in a premiere full service co-op building on the corner of Madison Ave and East 74th Street, you are truly in the most desirable neighborhoods; a quiet historic district and just steps to Central Park. You will also find yourself directly across from the famous Italian restaurant, Caravaggio a celebrity hot spot and a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious meal and people watch. Additionally, the maintenance for the building is the lowest you will find at only $563/month. There is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. Please note, one dog per apartment is permitted. Gifting, buying in the name of Trust, and Pied-a-terres are permitted. Building allows 50% financing.

20 East 74th Street is an impeccably maintained full-service co-op with attentive staff. The building allows one dog and no subletting permitted. There is a large laundry room and gym facilities in the building.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, 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.
