The two windowed staff rooms both have built-in desks and bookcases for use as offices. There is an additional renovated half bath. The apartment has new double-paned windows by Architectural Components, which are noise isolating and filter out UVA light to protect artworks. It also has Mitsubishi split system HVAC units and transfers with a storage bin. 112 East 74th Street is perfectly situated in the heart of the Upper East Side just off Park Avenue. It has easy access to transportation and is close to the best that the city has to offer-Central Park's boat pond and lake, museums, shops and restaurants. This attractive landmarked building was designed by Robert T. Lyons in 1917, with 10 stories and two apartments per floor. It is a full-service prewar coop, with doorman, gym, laundry and bike room. Pets are permitted. The building allows 50% financing and has a 2% flip tax, half paid by the buyer and half by the seller.
