131 E 66TH Street #10/11E

Magnificent renovated duplex perched on the top two floors of an iconic landmarked building in the heart of the East 60's. The dramatic center of the apartment is the great room, 24' x 28' with a stunning double-height coffered ceiling, wood-burning fireplace and soaring window with original 1906 leaded glass. The adjacent corner library is warmed by east and south sunlight and a wood-burning fireplace. Oak pocket doors open from the library into a large formal paneled dining room. These three rooms form a glorious entertainment space, accessible to the chef's windowed kitchen which is complete with solid oak & copper cabinetry, limestone floors, bar and pantry. A powder room is off the entry foyer. Also on the main living level is a sun-filled private bedroom wing with its own entrance. The corner bedroom, with fireplace, faces east and north; the second bedroom faces east. A bathroom and a separate laundry room complete this wing. The stairs leading to the upper level enjoy abundant natural light from the skylight above and an open balcony overlooking the living room. The south and east facing primary suite has a spacious primary bedroom, large sitting room or study, two full luxurious marble bathrooms with Jacuzzi and steam shower, ample closet space, and a serving pantry. 131 East 66th Street is a landmark-status, boutique cooperative, built in 1906 by the distinguished architect Charles Platt, featuring 37 apartments, a top-flight service staff and an ideal location, close to the Park, schools and transportation. Apartment 10-11E is a jewel in that building.
