Description
Adjacent to the living room is a light-filled library featuring a second stone fireplace, and lined with built-in shelving. The library, dining room and kitchen, as well as the principal bedrooms upstairs, all enjoy sunny southern exposures and skyline views over the beautiful St. Vincent Ferrer Church. The gracious circular flow of the entertaining rooms is completed by the double doors off of both the entry hall and the library, leading to the formal dining room. Adjacent is the windowed kitchen, with a washer/dryer.
The service elevator opens directly into the kitchen. Completing the lower level is a guest powder room. Ascend the stairs to a gracious landing, with a Juliet balcony overlooking the living room, and a hallway connecting the home’s private bedroom quarters. Each bedroom occupies a separate wing of the upper level.
The primary suite features a spacious bedchamber, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite windowed bath. Down the hall is a secondary bedroom, with ample space to add an en-suite bath (subject to plans and approvals), while immediately off the stair hall are a smaller third bedroom and a full bath. A windowed storage room on the 12th floor and a private basement storage unit both convey with the apartment. Built in 1905/1906 by one of the era’s most renowned architects, Charles A. Platt, 131 East 66th Street is a handsome, limestone-clad, Italian Renaissance palazzo-style edifice that has been home to some of the city’s most illustrious residents, and is both a designated NYC landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places.
