Property Description for 66 East 79th Street, 14/15

TRIPLE-MINT SIX-BEDROOM DUPLEX - 79th St. Park/Madison

Ideally situated on the 14th and 15th floors of one of Manhattan's most distinguished prewar cooperatives, this massive and extraordinary six-bedroom duplex has been renovated to perfection and is in triple-mint, move-in condition.

With 39 windows spanning all four exposures, the residence is exceptionally bright throughout the day, while its grand proportions, soaring ceilings, exquisite prewar character, and sweeping open-city views create an extraordinary sense of scale and elegance.

A private elevator landing opens onto an impressive 18-foot gallery, which forms the gracious central axis of the main living level. To the south, the gallery leads to a spectacular 38-foot living room with soaring ceilings and oversized floor-to-ceiling windows framing expansive open-city views. Adjoining the living room is an inviting corner library, which also captures wonderful views to the south.

At the opposite end of the gallery is a gracious corner formal dining room, which can easily seat 24 or more guests. Adjacent to the dining room is arguably one of the most remarkable family room and kitchen spaces to be found in a prewar residence. Framed by open city and seemingly endless blue-sky views, this spectacular gathering space combines exceptional design with extraordinary functionality. The chef's kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, abundant counter space, and exceptional storage, making this truly the heart of the home.

A full-size, windowed laundry room is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen.

Two of the six generously proportioned bedrooms, each with a luxurious en-suite bath, complete the main level. A beautifully appointed powder room is discreetly positioned off the gallery.

The exceptionally private upper level is devoted to the remaining four bedrooms. Each of the upstairs bedrooms have generious proportions and offer beautifully renovated en-suite bathrooms and ample closet space. The magnificent primary suite features a large dressing room with an abundance of custom storage and breathtaking southern skyline views that stretch toward Midtown Manhattan

A secondary laundry room completes the upper-level of the home.

Throughout, the residence combines the gracious scale and architectural integrity of a classic prewar apartment with the quality, sophistication, and ease of a meticulous contemporary renovation. The result is a rare and remarkably complete home of exceptional elegance, comfort, and privacy.

Perfectly located between Park and Madison Avenues, 66 East 79th Street is one of the Upper East Side's most coveted full-service prewar cooperatives. Residents enjoy an exceptional level of service, privacy, and security, in a location surrounded by the finest shopping, dining, museums, and cultural institutions Manhattan has to offer.

The building permits 50% financing and there is a 2% flip tax.

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.
