The Touraine is a 15 story boutique condominium at 132 East 65th Street on the southeast corner of Lexington Avenue, completed in 2013 by Toll Brothers. Designed by H. Thomas O'Hara with façade work by French born architect Lucien Lagrange, the building contains just 22 residences ranging from one bedroom units to a duplex penthouse. The architecture features a three story rusticated limestone base, setbacks at the 12th and 13th floors, and a mansard roof, with an arched two story entrance leading to a double-height lobby with a curved staircase and chandelier. The building's name was chosen for its French character after Toll Brothers rejected the previous developer's plan to call it Olivia.
Apartments feature enclosed kitchens with Calacatta marble countertops, Gaggenau appliances, and Sub-Zero refrigerators, along with eat in areas in many units. Bathrooms are outfitted with Waterworks fixtures and Italian Calacatta and Arctic gray marble. Ceilings range from 9.6 to 11 feet, with the penthouses enjoying the highest ceiling heights. Flooring includes 5 inch plank ash wood and herringbone patterns in some units. The duplex Penthouse 1 spans two floors with a fireplace, four bedrooms, and a private rooftop deck, while Penthouse 4 offers four bedrooms with 50 linear feet of living and entertaining space across the den, living, and dining rooms.
The building provides 24 hour concierge service, a residents library, a barrel vaulted wine cellar with private lockers for over 100 bottles, a fitness center, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with an outdoor fireplace. Additional amenities include refrigerated storage, bicycle storage, personal storage bins, and a package room. Many units benefit from a 421-A tax abatement, and the building is pet friendly. The location offers proximity to Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, and the Lexington Avenue subway.
