The dining area is an integral part of the layout and can fit a very large table, perfect for hosting holiday gatherings. The living room has cove lighting and a wall of floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that combine the indoor with the 300 sq. ft. south-facing outdoor patio. The outdoor patio is a peaceful sanctuary, ideal for those with a green thumb or anyone looking to relax, unwind, and dine al fresco surrounded by the backyards of historic neighborhood townhouses. The primary bedroom features three windows and receives beautiful light from the eastern and southern exposures, overlooking the patio. The en-suite bathroom has an oversized walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, a Duravit hanging toilet, a Scavolini double sink vanity with stunning Gessi "tear-drop" faucets, and radiant heated flooring. There are three large closets (including a walk-in closet) in the primary suite. 20 East 74th Street is a highly sought-after co-op on the Upper East Side's Gold Coast. Built in 1947, it features a stunning Art Deco lobby and continues to hand-deliver mail to each apartment. The building is a full-service, pet-friendly co-op that allows 50% financing and pied-a-terres. There is a live-in-super and a windowed gym.
