This grandly scaled duplex at the iconic Studio Building is a glamorous Manhattan home, filled with light all day and featuring an impressive double-height living room as well as offering three bedrooms and two and a half baths (with the potential to add an additional en-suite bath), at the epicenter of the Upper East Side. Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted by an elegant entry hall with tile floors and a splendid staircase leading to the private bedroom wing above. The entertaining spaces radiate off the entry foyer, with double-doors opening to the centerpiece of the apartment: a dramatic living room, with nearly 20’ high beamed ceilings and a massive north-facing leaded-glass window. Ideally designed for entertaining, the classically proportioned room features a massive fireplace with a handsome stone mantel and a matching ornate wood door-frame, as well as ample space for multiple seating areas. 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. Amenities include a full time doorman, attended elevator, a resident manager, laundry room, and a common storage area. 50% financing, dogs, and pied-a-terres are permitted (case-by-case). A 3% coop transfer fee is payable by the purchaser.
