Available for the first time in over 35 years, Apartment 4N is a rare and coveted opportunity on one of the Upper East Side's most beautiful tree-lined blocks. Situated on 74th Street between Park & Lexington Avenues, this magnificent 10-room prewar residence combines graceful architectural detail with generous proportions, a combination that simply does not come to market anymore.

Enter through a semi-private elevator landing into an elegant foyer large enough to be furnished as a proper reception area. To the right, a grand living room commands attention: anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, framed by charming views and scaled for serious entertaining with room for multiple seating arrangements. Beyond it, a stately formal dining room accommodates a grand table and full complement of chairs with ease.

The private bedroom wing houses three bedrooms and two renovated bathrooms. The primary suite is serene and generously scaled, with an en-suite windowed bathroom, two large his-and-her closets, and a separate walk-in. The second and third bedrooms each offer ample closet space and share a renovated bathroom with a thermostat for controlled heating and exceptional storage. The library, lined with handsomely crafted built-in bookcases and facing the quiet calm of 74th Street, functions beautifully as a fourth bedroom when needed.

The windowed kitchen is thoughtfully laid out with two ovens, one gas and one electric, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a GE Profile dishwasher, with generous cabinet storage throughout. There is also comfortable space for a dedicated breakfast table, making it as livable as it is functional. An adjacent wet bar features its own sink, large freezer, and window. A separate home office with its own window and built-in desk provides a proper and private workspace. Adjacent to the kitchen, a versatile staff room with a window and en-suite shower bath is ideal as a nanny's quarters or as additional storage . A private storage room is also included.

Throughout the apartment, exquisite hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, and central air conditioning personally designed by Mr. Hamilton of Hamilton Air speak to the care and craftsmanship that have defined this home across decades of single ownership.

Designed by Robert T. Lyons in 1917 and landmarked, the building rises ten stories with just two residences per floor and a total of 18 apartments. Full-service amenities include a doorman, gym, laundry room, and bike room. Pets are welcome. The building permits 50% financing and carries a 2% flip tax, split equally between buyer and seller.

East 74th Street sits moments from D'Agostino's and Citarella, and minutes from Central Park, the Guggenheim, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The neighborhood is zoned for PS 6 and surrounded by some of the city's finest dining, including Antonucci, Elio's, The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges, Kappo Masa, Casa Tua, Sistina , and more, with multiple bus routes nearby for easy crosstown and downtown access.
