Property Description for 132 East 65th Street, PH-1

A breathtaking duplex that unfolds magnificently over a 4,346 square foot configuration, the singular Penthouse at the Touraine has been designed for the finest in both living and entertaining. Set atop a prominently located boutique Upper East Side condominium, this is a stunning, mint condition, one-of-a-kind home.

Featuring 50 linear feet across the den, living, and dining rooms, coupled with a ceiling height of nearly 11 feet, the main floor enjoys stunning views to the north, as well as west toward Central Park. A gourmet kitchen features honed Italian Calacatta marble, several Gaggenau appliances, and a beautiful windowed eat-in, breakfast area. The refrigerator and wine fridge are by Subzero. The main floor also boasts a den, which can serve as a guest room, complete with an en suite windowed bathroom, and a fantastic powder room.

On the upper floor, a sun-soaked primary bedroom occupies the prime corner and includes one of the most attractive and thoughtful, custom walk-in closets imaginable, naturally with a window of its own. A luxurious and windowed master bathroom is outfitted with Waterworks fixtures, Italian Calacatta and Arctic gray marble, and a freestanding soaking tub, as well as a ribbed-glass enclosed shower and separate enclosed Toto toilet. Additional closets and storage were added throughout this master suite. The windows face north and west with views of Central Park. Two of the three additional bedrooms, each with an en suite marble and Waterworks bathroom, face north, while the fourth bedroom nestles at the opposite corner and benefits from north and east exposure. Notably, each of these rooms offers unusually generous dimensions and a sense of freedom further accented by the 11-foot ceilings.

The Penthouse has its own private roof deck with stunning views of Manhattan, a private wine locker for over 100 bottles in the wine cellar, and an oversized private storage unit.

This magnificent home is prewired for a smart home system of your choosing with full audio-visual control, including the in-wall speakers, electric shades, lighting, and full command of the multizone HVAC. There is also a Lutron system to independently control the lighting and shades. The floors are 5" plank ash wood, the windows are oversized, there is a spacious laundry room with washer/dryer, and there is a convenient storage room just off the kitchen.

The Touraine features the amenities and luxury of a new development while maintaining a discreet, boutique feel. A gorgeous marble lobby, staffed by 24-hour concierge, and a residents' library are stylized and sophisticated. Owners avail themselves of a beautiful barrel-vaulted wine cellar with fireplace, a well-equipped and conceptualized fitness center, plus a landscaped roof-top terrace. The Penthouse at the Touraine is a property that must land on the short list for the serious buyer.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

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.
