Overview of The Avon House at 340 East 74th Street

The Avon House is a 12 story, 119 unit condop at 340 East 74th Street in Lenox Hill, built in 1957, with its condop ownership dating to 1990. Its defining amenity is a landscaped rooftop terrace with seating, WiFi, a shower, and views west toward Central Park. The beige brick mid-block building has a canopied entrance and sidewalk landscaping.

Apartments commonly have hardwood or parquet floors and ceilings ranging from 8 feet 5 inches to 9 feet. Generous bedrooms, substantial foyers, and walk-in closets recur in the larger one bedroom plans, while several layouts use dining alcoves or office areas that may be enclosed as second bedrooms. Penthouse A is organized around a private terrace with exposures in all four directions and direct access from both the living room and bedroom.

The building has a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, full service garage, central laundry room, bike room, and secured resident storage. The condop permits up to 80 percent financing, pieds-à-terre, co purchasing, and gifting, and transfers carry a 2 percent flip tax. Pets are allowed with board approval.

Across East 74th Street are the Jan Hus Presbyterian Church, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Archdiocesan Cathedral, and The Forum apartment tower. The Q train stops at 72nd Street and Second Avenue, two blocks south, while the 6 train stops at 77th Street and Lexington Avenue beside Lenox Hill Hospital. Third Avenue has a broad concentration of shops and restaurants.
