56 East 66th Street

This is an exceptional opportunity to create a magnificent 20 ft. wide townhouse with a potential limestone façade and over 8,000 sq. ft., only steps away from Central Park. Surrounded by spectacularly built homes from the early 20th century, this iconic property is in the heart of the Upper East Side and neighbor to Andy Warhol's former residence. One can create a stunning renovated entryway with bronze doors, crowned by arched ceilings of the upper story Portico with incorporated lighting.

Bronze and glass windows and doors can be newly installed on the front and rear facade, and a new brick rear facade would seamlessly integrate a covered balcony. The parlor floor will boast ceiling heights over 11ft and herringbone floors with magnificently large windows overlooking both the garden and the street. Potentially, marble floors can be placed throughout the Garden level, rear yard with limestone pavers, Ipe wood fencing, and built in planters of perfection.

There would be effortless accessibility with elevator service on all floors from cellar to roof. A dramatic open staircase with a bronzed balustrade, solid oak handrail, and a skylight would essentially allow tremendous natural light into the home with exquisite design. Natural oak wood flooring throughout 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and 3 powder rooms would flawlessly grace the residence.

Bedrooms at the 4th and 5th floors allow for en suite baths with stone floors and vanities. There is potential for newly built fire places (1 at garden, 2 at parlor, 2 at master suite, 1 on 4th floor) to keep the area cozy. A large eat-in kitchen may be completed with direct access to an expansive private garden connecting to the upper parlor floor.

Rooms in cellar are future-proofed for wine storage, gym and laundry room. Additional laundry room availability may be suited on the 4th floor.
