Property Description for 160 East 66th Street, THOUSE
Upper East Side - East 66th Street Mint-Renovated Townhouse Rental
Located on a beautiful tree-lined street, this elegant, mint-renovated five-floor townhouse is situated mid-block. The sun-filled 18-foot-wide townhouse has been meticulously renovated top to bottom, offering the finest finishes and up-to-date systems.
Upon entering this tasteful home, you will experience its thoughtful layout. On the first floor is an eat-in kitchen which will satisfy the most serious chef, complete with Viking, Miele and Sub Zero appliances. The lovely dining room, with wood burning fireplace, thoughtful hidden built-in storage closets, and hand-painted Zuber wallpaper, opens through a wall of windows and French doors onto a brick terrace complete with a Weber barbecue (fitted with a direct gas line), and table for elegant outdoor dining surrounded by the lovely garden. Also on this floor is a half bath.
On the second floor is a beautiful living room with herringbone oak flooring, wood-burning fireplace, and a dramatic Regency-style bowed south-facing window which takes in a panoramic view of the picturesque garden. Off the living room is a wood-paneled, book-lined library complete with large TV and surround sound.
On the third floor is a lovely master bedroom with wood burning fireplace, ample closets, spacious en suite bathroom, and dressing room, which could easily serve as another bedroom.
The fourth floor has two family bedrooms with a shared bath.
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.
This townhouse is one of the 12 houses between Lexington and Third Avenues, and 66th and 65th Streets, which comprise Jones Wood Garden, a private enclave of meandering paths, specimen plantings, and complete with a lovely fountain. The garden is accessible only through the townhouses and offers the ultimate 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.
