139 East 66th St. #4S

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

As you enter from a semi-private landing, you immediately notice the meticulous renovation of this magnificent, triple mint 8-room apartment. Every detail has been carefully thought-out and executed, and each room offers thoughtful custom finishes.

The gracious grand-scaled living and dining room face south, offering views over the charming townhouses of this lovely block and bathing the rooms in sunshine. A wood burning fireplace with handsome Arabescato marble surround anchors the living room, and is flanked by beautiful custom built-ins. The herringbone floors, dry bar with wine cooler, and enormous windows make this an incredible space for entertaining, as well as perfect for daily enjoyment.

A cozy den can be found just off the dining room and adjoining the super chic eat-in kitchen which boasts a chef’s quality Ilve range from Italy and custom vented hood, as well as a suite of additional top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen is replete with thoughtful details from the unique marble tiled floor, custom cabinetry and banquet, to the discreetly hidden flat screen in the ceiling! The large adjacent laundry room completes this luxurious corner of the home.

Currently configured as two bedrooms and a library, but easily returned to three bedrooms, the private portion of the apartment is equally as impressive and well thought out. The tranquil south-facing master bedroom is awash with custom closets with ample space for hanging and shoe storage. The en-suite marble bath includes both a standing shower and luxurious soaking tub. There is sizable second bedroom and marble bath. The third bedroom, currently used as a library, is chicly finished in high-gloss lacquer and is accessible from both the master bedroom and the living room. It is teeming with handsome shelving and storage.

This designer home offers an abundance of additional features including Nest thermostats, Sonos system with built-in speakers, motorized window shades, UV protected windows, custom moldings and millwork throughout, carefully chosen marbles, top-of-the-line appliances, and incredible storage. Additionally, a third bath or powder room could be added.

It is ideally situated on a townhouse block close to transportation, shopping and restaurants. Pied-a-terre and pets welcome, and 50% financing is permitted. There is a 1% flip tax.
