Description

Seriously Stunning. Delightful floor-through 2 Bedroom + Den, 2 Bath apartment in an elevator townhouse co-op on a prime park block. Respectful modern updates mesh perfectly with original details to create a sophisticated and serene environment. From a semi-private elevator landing, enter 4C through a cozy L-shaped foyer and step into the spacious living room featuring dark hardwood floors, 10'5" coffered ceiling, and a show stopping art deco wood burning fireplace with a travertine mantel. French doors open to a wrought iron Juliet balcony overlooking the varied, beautiful architecture of West 74th Street. The living room flows seamlessly to the dining area which features a library backdrop with floor to ceiling built-in display and book shelves. This home is a wonderful setting for memorable get-togethers with loved ones.

The kitchen stretches over 15 feet in length. Features include a 6 burner Viking range, wine storage including a dual zone SubZero wine refrigerator, and an extra prep sink. There are quartzite countertops, a stainless steel backsplash, and a chalkboard wall to announce today's menu. A large pantry cabinet provides additional storage. This is a kitchen for people who love to cook.

The den and bedrooms are gracefully separated from the more social spaces of the apartment by a linear hallway with the second full bath perfectly positioned to service guests. The open pass-through den acts as another transition to the bedrooms and has built-ins that cleverly conceal a flat screen television, audio equipment, and the in-unit washer and (vented) dryer. A walk-in closet between the den and second bedroom provides more versatile storage.

Both bedrooms face south with excellent natural light from oversized windows. The larger primary bedroom has an en-suite marble bath, large dressing area with custom walk-in closet, and a private balcony perfect for morning coffee and evening toasts. There is even an "attic" storage space in the primary bedroom dressing area accessible via pull-down stairs. The second bedroom has built-in file storage and shelving. Custom, adjustable lighting throughout the apartment; Central Air Conditioning as well. A truly special environment both for welcoming guests, and also for living every day in comfort and style.

32-34 West 74th Street is a 13 unit self-managed co-op with a landmarked 1904 Neo-Georgian style facade. Bicycle storage in basement. Pets allowed. Pied-a-terre permitted. 1% flip tax paid by buyer. Shown by appointment.
