Overview of The Avon House at 340 East 74th Street

The Avon House is a 12 story, mid-block condop at 340 East 74th Street in Lenox Hill, built in 1957 and converted in 1990. The beige brick building has 119 units, a canopied entrance, and well maintained sidewalk landscaping. It sits on a tree lined block across from the Jan Hus Presbyterian Church and the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Archdiocesan Cathedral, with The Forum, a large apartment tower at 343 East 74th Street, directly opposite.

Apartments commonly feature hardwood or parquet floors and ceilings ranging from 8'5" to 9'. Many have been renovated with modern kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, updated bathrooms, and walk-in closets. Bedrooms are notably generous, with many comfortably fitting king beds alongside desks, dressers, and additional furniture. A few units have open floor plans with 9' ceilings and flexible layouts that allow for conversion to a second bedroom; select units include private terraces.

The building has a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, full service garage, bike room, central laundry, and secured storage. The standout amenity is the landscaped rooftop terrace, furnished with ample seating and equipped with WiFi and a shower, with views stretching to Central Park. The condop permits 80% financing, pieds-à-terre, co purchasing, and gifting; there is a 2% flip tax. Pets are welcome with board approval.

The building is two blocks from the Q train and several blocks from the 6 train at Lexington Avenue and 77th Street, where Lenox Hill Hospital is also located. Crosstown bus service runs on 72nd Street, and Third Avenue shopping and numerous restaurants are nearby.
