Welcome to Residence 1G at 225 East 74th Street, a beautifully renovated corner alcove studio that pairs classic prewar character with a thoughtfully designed and highly functional layout. Elevated above street level and filled with natural light, this distinctive home offers a spacious sunken living room with corner city quiet windows, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and the rare benefit of both a windowed kitchen and windowed bathroom. A separate sleeping alcove creates a natural division between living and sleeping areas, giving the apartment the feel and functionality of a much larger home. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, the kitchen features marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a Bertazzoni range, while the windowed marble bathroom continues the home's clean, timeless aesthetic. Recessed lighting complements the apartment's natural light, and exceptional custom storage has been incorporated throughout. An expansive wall of built-in closets runs along the living room, with additional closets surrounding the sleeping area. Built in 1938, 225 East 74th Street is a full-service prewar cooperative located on a beautiful tree-lined Upper East Side block. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman, live-in super, landscaped courtyard garden, laundry room, bike room, and storage available for rent. Ideally positioned between the Q train at 72nd Street and the 6 train at 77th Street, the building is surrounded by some of the Upper East Side's best restaurants, shopping, and neighborhood staples, with Central Park just a few blocks away. The co-op permits co-purchasing, parents buying for children, pied-à-terre ownership, and pets, subject to board approval.
