131 E 66TH Street #2/3B Manhattan, NY 10065

Rare, impeccably maintained four-bedroom duplex now available at The Studio Building. The scale and layout of this stunning apartment create a very private, house-like feeling on the corner of East 66th Street and Lexington Avenue. Generously sized yet inherently welcoming, the apartment at once accommodates both large-scale entertaining and relaxing at home. The apartment is pin-drop quiet, wonderfully sunny and in excellent condition with central air, state-of-the-art city windows and beautiful oak hardwood floors throughout.

Upon entry into the foyer, the scale and grandeur of the apartment are immediately apparent; 9'5" ceilings, prewar details, original hardwood floors and an elegant staircase lead up to the second floor. The corner living room, facing south and west, has a decorative fireplace, gallery lighting, three Juliet balconies, and receives stunning light. Double doors at the east end of the living room open to a cozy library with historically accurate built-in bookshelves and an office nook; this room can be open to the living room while entertaining or closed off for privacy. At the other end of the living room, double doors lead to a graciously proportioned 23'9" long dining room that can easily accommodate 20+ dinner guests. The dining room and kitchen are separated by dramatic floor-to-ceiling folding doors, allowing for flexibility whether entertaining or enjoying a quiet casual supper. The living room, den and dining room are all equipped with a Marantz/Sonos integrated sound system with Polk speakers. The windowed kitchen is equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Gaggenau range and oven, Miele dishwasher, granite countertops, full-size Traulsen wine cooler and breakfast bar. The butler's pantry and bar, adjacent to the kitchen, is complete with an additional refrigerator, wine cooler, dishwasher, and sink. A service elevator in the kitchen allows for easy trash and recycling removal. A powder room adjacent to the bar area completes the first floor of this spectacular home.

The second floor, also with 9'5" ceilings throughout, is occupied by four spacious bedrooms and three full baths. The primary suite, which faces south over 66th Street, has two walk-in closets and a windowed ensuite bath with a spacious stall shower. The large corner bedroom, currently used as a media room, has four closets, and is flooded with afternoon light. The third bedroom is generously sized at 19'9" x 14', with two closets. Two additional full baths, a stacked washer/dryer and second entry to the apartment complete the second floor.
