New York / Upper East Side - The 74 - Apartment 2 bedrooms

Elegant, gracious and undeniably evolved, The 74 offers a new allure for those who appreciate the timeless legacy of Upper East Side living. Featuring 42 apartments ranging from two to five bedrooms, with duplex, full-floor and penthouse options, The 74 has been designed to perfection. As envisioned by interior designer Rafael de Cárdenas, classic white oak floors and custom millwork meet contemporary elements, responding to the dynamic exterior with equally enlightened interiors: graceful entry galleries, airy living rooms and dramatic sightlines. From the iconic floor-to-ceiling windows, admire views of Central Park or the necklace of lights spanning the East River. Interior designer Rafael de Cárdenas and his Manhattan-based firm have been elegantly setting the bar for homes, restaurants, retail spaces, and nightclubs for more than two decades. An informed, perfectly executed, avant-garde style distinguishes the studio’s work, which has brought sophisticated interpretations of our built world from Manhattan to Paris to Tokyo and beyond. Architecture, furniture design, and art consulting round out the resume of this discerning designer. A fresh response to the sophistication of the Upper East Side, The 74 offers a series of thoroughly modern residential amenities that offer unparalleled skyline views and a range of luxury choices for discerning buyers. On the 17th floor, a full suite of options includes a private lounge and city-lit dining room, complete with a custom marble bar and catering kitchen, as well as a full-service gym with separate rooms for Pilates, yoga, and conditioning. A children’s playroom is conveniently adjacent. On the ground floor, two entrances to the building offer the ultimate convenience of two approaches: the main lobby and wood-paneled reception area on Third Avenue, and a discreet private entrance on 74th Street. Both bedrooms adjoin the library lounge and verdant private garden, a secluded spot designed to provide impeccable peace and quiet.
