Description

New Floors, New Price, New Year: Huge 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom , Convertible 3 Bedroom apartment at the sought after Amherst. New Floors have been put down to finish this perfect home. The windows are double paned overlooking the trees on a very quiet 74th Street. Throughout the year, but especially in the spring, summer, and fall, there is a very serene feeling as the green trees seem a part of the interior. The kitchen is open concept with a large granite topped island to prepare food and for all to gather around. There are beautiful moldings throughout the apartment. The living dining area is huge and could accommodate another bedroom , if needed. This spacious and gracious apartment is facing south for ample light all day. The bathrooms are pristine with white subway tiles on the walls and large dark tiles on the floor. There is a bathtub with shower in one bathroom and a shower in the master en-suite bathroom. There are many closets among which are walk in.

This lovely home is in 401 E 74 Owners Corp, a very financially strong and energy efficient coop with every amenity: 24-hour concierge, gym, community/ young people's room, an attached garage, and resident manager. The shareholders are delighted with bulk rate Electric bills, a gas boiler, a new high efficiency Co-Generator (CO-GEN), and the use of LED fixtures throughout, which greatly reduce the environmental footprint while substantially reducing both the owners and building heating and electricity costs. The hallways, elevators, lobby, gym, community/young people's room, roof deck, and laundry room have been recently renovated with no assessments to any shareholder. Washer-dryers are not allowed in individual units. The Amherst has low maintenance bills. Cable companies include Verizon FIOS, Spectrum, and RCN. This beautiful apartment is situated in a friendly neighborhood that has many of the most important amenities that are sought-after by busy Manhattanites. This pied-a-terre and pet friendly coop is very close to the Q train and an easy walk to Central Park, as well as the many other parks in the neighborhood, not to mention the promenade next to the East River.

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.
