225 E 74TH Street #5E

Upon entering 5E, one is welcomed into a gracious center foyer through a charming arched doorway. Double walk-in-closets on either side are deep enough to store winter coats and boots, strollers, scooters and plenty more. Take two steps down and arrive at the oversized south-facing living room (21'4” X 13') which offers ample space for casual family gatherings as well as more traditional formal entertaining options. The floors are original hardwood and the large bay window streams natural light throughout the day. The windowed kitchen features plenty of cabinetry and counter space and could easily be reconfigured as an eat-in kitchen. The two larger bedrooms are situated down the hall from the main entertaining areas. The primary bedroom (11' X 17'7”) with en suite bathroom is immense - perfect for a king or queen-sized bed – and includes two well-proportioned WIC's. The double south-facing windows look out over the idyllic tree-lined block of east 74th St. The second bedroom (10'10” X 17'7”) also features a spacious walk-in-closet and two south-facing windows. The third bedroom (10'8” X 10') could also work as a dining room, home office, den, nursery or bonus room. 225 E 74th Street was built in the 1930's by Horace Ginsbern. The building's façade, formal entrance and lobby, with spectacular original detailing, are a celebration of Manhattan's Art Deco style. Some of the City's most popular restaurants – JG Melon, EJ's Luncheonette and Mezzaluna are only a block away. Stop by Bread's Bakery (a Martha Stewart favorite) for fresh croissants or what New York Magazine refers to as “The Best Babka in NYC”. 225 East 74th Street is a pet-friendly co-op with a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, basement laundry room, a landscaped courtyard, bike room, and storage available for rent. Co-purchasing, parents buying for children, pied-a-terres allowed. 80% financing permitted; 2% flip tax divided by seller & buyer.
