Discussion about 139 East 66th Street #PHW
…Around the corner from the Russian consulate. If this were a LeCarre novel, the building would be full of spies.
Isn’t the Russian consulate 91st street?
That’s what I thought - somewhere around Cooper Hewitt? But Google maps says it’s 136 E67th.
That is the Russian Mission to UN not Russian Consulate which now has red paint thrown over its beautiful limestone facade.
Oh, I see, for some reason I thought they were in the same building. (I am not terribly sympathetic toward the Russian government at the moment, beautiful limestone facade or not).
Around 2 corners. 139 backs up to the Russian Mission building. At least the apt for sale is on the south side of the building (only 1 smaller LR and 1 hallway window face north.)
I do like the apartment. Sort of fits the classic definition of 'penthouse apartment'.
