Description

The Best Deal Around! Welcome to Residence 9B at 401 East 74th Street, an expansive two bedroom, two bath with a private balcony. Upon entry, a gracious foyer divides the living from the sleeping areas and is an ideal place to hang artwork. Open eastern and northern exposures provide wonderful light and tranquility to this corner apartment.

The living and dining areas span nearly 30 feet and offer a multitude of decorating options. In fact, similar two bedroom layouts in the building have converted the dining area to a third bedroom. Off of the living room is a serene balcony that overlooks treetops and blue skies.

Off of the dining area is a pass-through kitchen in excellent condition with wonderful storage, featuring a suite of stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms are spacious with custom closets. The primary bedroom has an en suite bath with additional storage and a vanity.

The Amherst at 401 East 74th Street is an impeccably-run cooperative with a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, landscaped roof deck, fitness center, children’s playroom / community center, bike room, laundry room and a parking garage in the building. Building common areas were recently redone and in excellent condition. Pied-a-terres, co-purchasing and gifting will be considered.

Convenient Upper East Side location is only a couple of blocks from the Second Avenue Subway, a couple more to Central Park, and is close to all the incredible shopping and dining in the area. Pets are welcome.
