66 East 79th St. #8

This wonderful 11 into 9 room residence feels very much like a house, especially since it has open exposures in all all four directions and is flooded with light. It is located in a small, discreet prewar cooperative with only one apartment per floor. Entrance is into a gallery leading to the study and the step-down living room with wood burning fireplace and a delightful library/loggia with original casement windows facing south and west. The adjacent corner formal dining room with wood burning fireplace is just off the large windowed eat-in kitchen, which incorporates a staff sitting room and pantry. The bedroom hallway can be accessed from the kitchen as well as as from the gallery. There are 4 bedrooms, 3 of them corners, including the master with wood burning fireplace and a double master bathroom with dressing room and Central Park views. There are 2 additional bathrooms for the remaining 3 bedrooms. A large walk-in cedar closet and a staff bathroom are nearby. Prewar details abound throughout, including 11’ ceilings and herringbone floors. This unique and highly livable home is warm, inviting and truly a treasure.
