The Studio Building at 131 East 66th St. #1011A

Reduced 1 Million. This nine room Upper East Side Co-Op, approximately 3,200 S Ft, plus a separate, original maid’s room in addition to storage in the basement is like having a townhouse in a full service building. This elegant duplex is on the top two floors of The Studio Building, 1906, by architect, Charles A. Platt. A classic marble fireplace, an enormous window and double chandeliers are only part of the uniqueness of the double height living room. Earnest F. Tyler*, who lived in this apartment , designed the Italian style gesso frieze bordering the original, hand painted, beamed ceiling in the living room. The entertaining space includes an inviting library with an additional wood-burning fireplace, an elegant, formal dining room with built-in display cases, a receiving room, powder room, and a dramatic entrance hall with the original staircase leading to the second floor. The eat-in kitchen and butler’s pantry are spacious. On the second floor there are three bedrooms, one with a fireplace, and a dressing room which could be a fourth bedroom. There are two full baths and it would be possible to create a third. The rooms on the West side of the building overlook the Armory. * The whole effect is of grandeur….. , Edwin A Cochran wrote in 1917 describing Tyler’s design for the lobby of the Woolworth Building. Mr. Tyler’s former apartment , 10/11 A, reflects a comfortable, Renaissance grandeur.
