Property Description for 130 East 67th Street, 10/11C
Elegant and exceptionally rare, this 10 room duplex home is situated on the top two floors of a desirable prewar building. Built in 1908 and designed by Charles A. Platt, the distinctive 12 story Italian Renaissance style building exhibits the spacious proportions and lightness of the period. This historic address is distinguished by a very deep and handsome cornice and impressive entrance portals flanked by massive columns with a pediment ringed with ironwork. One enters the lower floor of the duplex through the foyer which opens into a grand 27' long gallery with access to the library, living room and dining room creating a perfect flow for entertaining. The gallery also features an elegant powder room that is secreted away as well as the original carved wooden staircase with turned and corkscrewed balustrades winding up towards a large skylight at the top of the stairs. The skylight, constant light streaming in from the north facing windows of the living room and library and the brilliant light from the south facing windows of the dining room combine to produce an open, sun flooded feel to the gallery and surrounding rooms. The handsome library with working fireplace and a unique hand painted mantel boasts pocket doors that open into the expansive living room, with soaring beamed ceilings, two massive windows with open city views and another wood burning fireplace facing that of the library, creating an impressive 45' expanse between the two rooms. Across the gallery are the sunny dining room and kitchen from which a charming back stair ascends to the bedrooms above. In contrast to the grandeur of the public rooms of the lower floor, the upper floor of this duplex has the distinct feel of a rambling country home, with 4 roomy bedrooms, one with a wood burning fireplace, 3 full bathrooms, dressing room with beautiful built in closets, banquette and sink, laundry, three additional skylights, open city views and ample closets throughout. This pet friendly building is located in a vibrant part of town easily accessible to all public transportation and features a common laundry room in the basement as well as a storage bin that conveys with the apartment.

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.
