## Property Overview

This gracious two-bedroom home blends classic prewar character with an unexpectedly generous layout. The sunken living room is expansive and inviting, framed by a graceful archway, iron handrails, and beautiful herringbone floors. Large street-facing windows bring in excellent natural light, enhancing the scale and warmth of the space.

Just beyond the entry, past two enormous closets, a versatile lounge area overlooks the living room and works beautifully as a dining area or an inspiring home office, as currently configured. Built-in desk and shelving add both functionality and architectural interest, creating a space that feels purposeful rather than transitional.

The primary bedroom is impressively proportioned, easily accommodating a king-size bed and substantial furniture. It is set back from the street, offering a quieter and more private atmosphere, and features two oversized closets for exceptional storage. Should you desire, one could easily combine these two closets into a sizable walk-in. The second bedroom, also facing the street, is well suited for a child’s room, guest space, or office.

The kitchen is fully functional for immediate use and offers clear potential for enhancement. Reconfiguring the secondary bedroom entrance could create additional kitchen workspace while also expanding the bedroom footprint. Included renderings illustrate how thoughtful updates could elevate the space. The tiled bathroom features a shower and tub combination, along with ample storage in the vanity and mirrored medicine cabinet.

Set within a charming prewar cooperative built in 1937, the building offers a 24-hour doorman, live-in super, laundry room, storage, and allows pets and pied-à-terres. Located on 74th Street between Second and Third Avenue, you are moments from Central Park, Whole Foods, and an exceptional selection of Upper East Side restaurants and cafés, including JG Melon right on the block. Convenient access to the 6, N, Q, and R subway lines completes this flexible and enduring Upper East Side home.

Sales data through August 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
