Welcome to this mint condition prewar 4-room apartment ideally located on 74th Street just off Park Avenue. Recently gut renovated to perfection by the current owner, 4B boasts the highest quality modern finishes, yet maintains its coveted prewar character with its large proportions, 9'5" beamed ceilings, casement windows, beautiful hardwood floors, and enormous custom closets. One enters this chic home into a proper foyer, off of which is a coat closet and concealed built-in storage. The oversized living room features a wood burning fireplace with a stunning marble mantle, casement windows facing north, and a cozy built-in banquette perfect for dining or curling up with your favorite book. The windowed kitchen has been opened to what was originally a formal dining room to create a loft-like chef's kitchen that boasts a marble island with bar seating, an incredible amount of custom storage, Dekton stone countertops and backsplash, and top-of-the-line appliances and fixtures (including a Viking cooktop with built-in downdraft ventilation; Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer and dishwasher; Wolf microwave and oven; and a wine fridge). The spacious primary bedroom connects to the living room through a windowed dressing room with a built-in vanity and a large walk-in closet. Facing both north and south, the primary suite has two built-in closets flanking the king-sized bed, and a marble ensuite bathroom that is also accessible through the kitchen, making it ideal for guest access as well. Other notable features of this top-tier renovation include charming arched doorways, recessed lighting, motorized shades in every room, new central AC with linear vents, heated flooring in the foyer and bathroom, and Philip Jeffreys wallpaper in the dressing room and foyer. Located in an established prewar cooperative built in 1929 and designed by the renowned Lafayette A. Goldstone, known for his exceptional work at 730 and 640 Park Avenues, 125 East 74th Street is an intimate co-op that exudes timeless elegance and charm. The building has a live-in super, full-time doorman, gym, private storage cages, laundry room, and a tranquil private garden. Situated on an idyllic tree-lined block, this home is surrounded by the best restaurants and schools in the area, ensuring a vibrant and convenient lifestyle.
