174 E 74th St APT 14C

Views, Quiet, and Light: No-Compromise Upper East Side Unicorn Most corner apartments force a choice: light or silence. This one refuses to compromise. Perched high above the Upper East Side, this triple-exposure residence exists at a whisper volume—even with the windows wide open. By day, the horizon spans for blocks. By night, you are front-row for the neighborhood's architectural icons: the Art Deco crown of The Carlyle and the glowing cupola of St. Jean Baptiste. It is a vista so European you may forget you are in Manhattan, until the silhouette of Central Park appears a few blocks beyond. The split-bedroom layout is a study in privacy. Two king-sized suites—one an effortless home office—anchor opposite wings of the home, each with its own walk-in closet. Bathrooms are finished in custom Barazzi tiling, and the windowed primary bath features a modern step-in shower. Sable-stained hardwoods lead to a windowed kitchen with a proper vented range, its own framed view of the city, and the ultimate Manhattan essential: an in-unit washer-dryer. 174 East 74th Street is a premier, full-service cooperative on a coveted tree-lined block, where a 24-hour doorman and live-in resident manager provide quiet assurance in an impeccably maintained building. Low maintenance results from stellar financials and income from the building's retail shops on Third Avenue.
