Description
COME THE DAY YOU’RE MINE
4 Bedroom plus Library, 2.5 Bath, Duplex Masterpiece
Drama, elegance, sophistication, and peerless architectural achievement are just a few thoughts that spring to mind when entering apartment 2/3C, a Charles A. Platt 1907 designed Landmark recently refreshed by the current owner. Upon entering, be hypnotized by the magnificent "studio" space with soaring 19 foot ceilings and a double-height studio window. Repurposed as a living room, the magnitude of this studio can only be truly experienced first-hand by standing in the middle of this amazing room surrounded by all its architectural splendor.
The room is also adorned with an original masonry fireplace not in use for maximum sophistication and elegance. Double doors lead to a very handsome paneled library replete with a second original masonry fireplace and glass French doors leading to one of two Juliet balconies and unveiling enchanting views of St. Vincent Ferrier Church across the street. It is here, this delightful vista so reminiscent of Paris that convinced Mrs. Rothschild to make 131 East 66 Street her home.
Adjacent to the library, also facing south with its own Juliet balcony, is the generous dining room which comfortably accommodates the needs of large scale entertaining but is also ideal for intimate gatherings while providing incredible front row architectural and tree-line views. The spacious windowed eat-in-kitchen also offers lovely southern views. The kitchen has the finest appliances including an 8 burner Viking professional stove, Subzero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, a full-size Traulsen wine refrigerator in the pantry and a washer dryer in the adjacent laundry room.
The entire kitchen/pantry space was recently updated. A marble powder room is conveniently located off the gallery. An original "cloak room" is also intact. A beautifully crafted staircase leads upstairs to the bedroom level and an overlook of the amazing double height living room below.
The three main bedrooms, all bathed in abundant natural light, face south with the same magnificent views only one floor higher. The primary bedroom has wonderful proportions, plentiful closets, and two six over six windows and custom built-ins. The sizable second bedroom also has two large six over six windows.
The third bedroom shares a bath with the secondary bedroom. On the other end of the upstairs hall is another room that is currently used as an office but can easily be used as another bedroom. Each floor has access to the building’s elevator.
Upon leaving this magical apartment you will be spellbound by its masterful design and beauty. A separate outside staff room located on the ground floor has pleasant courtyard views is included in this offering and is the perfect guest room or office.
Designed by Charles A. Platt, The Studio Building at 131 East 66 Street opened in 1907 and today is a New York City Landmark. Known for its Italian palazzo style and beauty, 131 East 66 Street is a full service, white glove cooperative.
