The apartment’s quiet, south-facing exposure high above East 74th Street fills the home with gentle natural light throughout the day, giving the space an inviting warmth and ease. Fully and thoughtfully renovated, the residence pairs the quiet grace of 1920s architecture with a clean, contemporary sensibility. A gracious entry foyer—complete with coat closet and arched opening—leads to a generously scaled living and dining room with nearly nine-foot beamed ceilings, custom lighting, and beautifully restored herringbone oak floors, along with three custom-built closets providing generous storage throughout. The proportions strike a graceful balance between openness and intimacy, creating a home equally suited to entertaining or quiet retreat.
The thoughtfully designed wrap kitchen features custom cabinetry, ample storage, quartz countertops, and a full suite of paneled Bosch appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, and Bertazzoni range.
The spacious, south-facing bedroom is bright and tranquil, comfortably accommodating a king-sized bed and additional furnishings. Its en-suite bathroom features marble hexagon tile flooring, a marble-top vanity with storage, polished nickel fixtures, and the original porcelain tub preserved with care.
