Description

Awaken to a fabulous eastern sky with a wall of windows in your alcove studio. This quiet and bright apartment will be a perfect pied-a-terre or a primary home in the heart of the Upper East Side, close to all transportation and the East Side Drive. As one enters this light filled apartment, one is greeted by a wall of windows, two huge closets on the left. . On the right of the entry is the spacious open kitchen with blue pearl granite counter-tops and wooden cabinetry plus including a dish-washer. Next to the alcove area is another large closet and a dressing area leading to the renovated bathroom.

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, courtyard and roof gardens with dining table and chairs, community, 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 river promenade.

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.
