135 E 74TH Street #11A

NEW PRICE! A true Classic 6, this home resides in a boutique co-op on the UES. The 1925 landmarked building is comprised of 31 residences on eleven floors plus a Penthouse. It is located between Park and Lexington Avenues. The artistic spirit of the owner is reflected in the furnishings; the apartment is eclectic and welcoming. The semi-private landing on the 11th floor, decorated by the seller, opens into a spacious foyer which leads to the public rooms including the living room, dining room and kitchen. The foyer includes three deep closets. The large windows in each room of this corner apartment bring incredible light and fabulous views to the North, South and West. The rooms have 10' ceilings, unique moldings, most with beamed ceilings and hardwood floors in excellent condition. The spacious living room is large enough for two seating areas, a writing desk. and a wood burning fireplace.; it faces South. The dining room enjoys open views to the West thru two large windows, and includes built-in bookcases and seats 10 comfortably. The classic butler's door opens to an eat-in kitchen with plenty of custom cabinetry, storage and counter space (there is additional cabinetry and an oversized refrigerator to the right of the butler's door.) There is an opportunity for a third bedroom, and we have attached the alternative floor plan to the listing. The original configuration had an opening from the foyer into the kitchen and the stove on the opposite wall; both are incorporated into this alternate floor plan. A mirrored hallway leads to the Primary Suite. The suite has corner windows facing South & West, en-suite bath, and a charming window seat. The second bedroom is currently configured as a den and office and it is easily transformed into a traditional bedroom with a king size bed. 135 East 74th Street is a full service co-operative with a 24 hour doorman, live-in resident manager, central laundry and storage is available. 75% financing is permitted and there is a 2% flip tax.
