137 E 66th Street #1-D

Welcome home to this chic and elegant 4.5 room maisonette at 137 East 66th Street. Built in 1918 this stately building is one of the prettiest pre war coops on the Upper East Side. Once configured as an Edwardian Five the layout is perfectly flexible with over 900Sf to work with and abundant pre war details. Upon entry there is a large living room with 9'5' ceilings, a working wood burning fireplace with beautiful carved wooden mantle and gracious proportions. The separate dining room allows for flexibility and great flow for entertaining. A charming butlers pantry offers tremendous storage and a washer dryer. The crisp white chef's kitchen has plenty of counter space and top of the line appliances. The primary bedroom is oversized and luxurious with wonderful molding, an original tansom and two large closets. The prior maids room, now used as a home office and gym, can easily be closed off and converted to an office or nursery. A cleverly located half bath is just off the bedroom. 137 East 66th Street is a 9 story, 36 unit building built in 1918. In addition to a live-in superintendent and 24 hour doorman the building has a gorgeous landscaped roof deck, gym, additional laundry room, children's play space and private storage with a bin that transfers with the apartment. The building allows Pied-a-terre, live/work and is pet friendly. There is a 3 percent flip tax paid by the buyer. 50% financing permitted. This ultra convenient location is just moments from Central Park, multiple subway and bus lines and all the Upper East Side's finest dining, attractions, schools and shops.
