Property Description for 160 East 66th Street
Upper East Side
East 66th St. Beautifully Renovated Townhouse on Jones Wood Garden
Located on a tree-lined street, this fully renovated, pin-drop quiet five-floor townhouse is situated mid-block. The sun-filled 18'6 wide townhouse has been meticulously renovated top to bottom, offering the finest finishes and up-to-date systems.
Upon entering this sun-filled home, you look out onto the south-facing garden in front of you. On the first floor is an eat-in kitchen, complete with Viking, Miele and Sub Zero appliances. The dining room, with wood burning fireplace, hidden built-in storage closets, and hand-painted Zuber wallpaper, opens onto a private brick terrace complete with a barbecue (fitted with a direct gas line), and continues onto the Jones Wood garden. Also on this floor is a half bath.
On the second floor is the elegant and spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace. The dramatic Regency-style 13' tall bowed south-facing window floods the room with light and takes in the panoramic view of the picturesque garden. Off the living room is a wood-paneled library.
On the third floor is a master bedroom suite with wood burning fireplace, walk-in closets, spacious bathroom with Kallista fittings, and dressing room, which could easily serve as another bedroom.
The fourth floor has two bedrooms and a beautiful, large shared bathroom with full tub, walk-in shower and enclosed toilet. There is also laundry.
The fifth floor is open and loft-like, with a full bath, kitchenette, and two set-back terraces which take in both the northern view, and the dramatic southern view of the skyscrapers of mid-town Manhattan. This multi-use area would be an ideal family room, media room, or additional bedroom.
The basement contains the laundry, mechanicals, and ample storage.
Jones Wood Garden was established in 1920 as a private leafy enclave of meandering paths and specimen plantings and is comprised of the backyards of the 12 single townhouses between Lexington and Third Avenues, and 66th and 65th Streets. The garden is accessible only through the townhouses and offers a serene sanctuary within the city. A garden association maintains the common garden. Adjacent to each townhouse is a private area for entertaining, dining and enjoyment.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
