401 East 74th Street Upper East Side Apartment For Sale

Welcome home to Residence 8M – a junior four that has been transformed into an open-concept, two bedroom, one bath with private outdoor space at The Amherst.

Attention to detail is the star of this home.

You enter into the expansive living/dining room, which is open to the beautifully renovated kitchen, boasting a nine foot breakfast bar, quartz countertops, Ann Sacks glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (including a wine fridge!), and separate butler-pantry like area!

Closet space is amazing here – including a large entry closet, a large walk-in closet in the king-sized main bedroom and a large closet in second bedroom (that could also be used as a home office space). Off the living room is a private northeast facing balcony for your enjoyment.

The spa-like bathroom has been gut renovated and enlarged to include a step-in shower. Two separate bathroom entrances allow entry from both the main living space as well as the private entrance into the main bedroom.

Amherst residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman as well as a live-in Resident Manager. Other beautiful features include a well-equipped Fitness Center, a Community Room, a Courtyard Garden, and a wonderful Rooftop Garden with tables and chairs for al fresco dining and relaxation. The air-conditioned Laundry Room with new machines, the Lobby, Hallways, Community Room were recently renovated and the Hallways are now air-conditioned – all without any assessments. There is also an attached garage for the convenience of those who live in The Amherst.

The building actively uses advanced technology to improve operational efficiency and lower running costs. BuildingLink is used to notify residents of package arrivals, building updates, and to report issues. Cable, phone and Internet services are available from FiOS, Spectrum, and RCN. Electricity is purchased in bulk for the entire building and savings are passed on to residents who are sub-metered by the Co-op. The building is very energy conscious and has installed a Cogeneration System which generates low-cost electricity. This new system lowers the building’s costs, reduces carbon emissions, and provides a generator to keep the core building systems running in the event of a power outage.

The building permits pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, parents purchasing for children, and subletting.
