Located on one of the most coveted streets in the Gold Coast of the Upper East Side Historic District and situated next door to Andy Warhol's former house, this exceptionally grand and architecturally important five-story home, which was once a diplomatic building, is being offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years.
This landmarked Neo-Georgian style house was originally built in 1878 by architect J. H.
Valentine for developer Ira E. Doying. Major alterations, overseen by architect Augustus N.
Allen, were completed in 1903. The faASade, completed in 1902, is breathtaking in its simplicity and elegance. Classic red bricks contrasting with white stone complements a lovely veranda with restored ironwork doors and carved swags.

What sets this house apart is that throughout the years and renovations, original details were preserved and give off a dignity and reserve that has been disappearing in most of the surrounding buildings from the same area.
You will encounter rooms of great scale with high ceilings, beautiful proportions, countless original moldings, wood panels, and no less than eleven working fireplaces, each made of a different marble, while touring this one-family home.
However, the spa on the lower floor of the house adds a touch of modernism and wellness, featuring a pool, sauna and newly reconfigured magnificent lighting giving a luxury zen ambiance.
As you enter the home, you are first greeted by a gracious formal entry hall, leading to the kitchen and beautiful outdoor garden.
The parlor floor boasts a formal living and dining room with beautifully preserved historical detailing: fireplaces, wood paneling, high ceilings and old parquet floors. Off the dining room is a charming pantry, with black and white marble floors, with the original cabinets and dumbwaiter restored. This floor will seduce people who love to entertain on a larger scale.
On the south side of the third floor sits a handsome paneled library, with high ceilings and a magnificent fireplace. The primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and old world moldings is situated on the north side of the second floor.
The fourth floor features two bedrooms, each with grand proportions and marble full en-suite bathrooms.
The fifth and top floor of the house features a suite: a large bedroom, en-suite full bathroom, walk-in closet and what is currently used as a living area, again with its own marble fireplace.
You will also love the sunroom/greenhouse, currently staged as a yoga room. With all glass walls and ceilings, it is a light-filled haven to meditate, exercise, or just use as a dream winter garden for plant lovers.
The future owner of this house will enjoy the highest level of privacy, comfort and security.
Building features an elevator also preserved throughout the years. There is a private laundry room and additional space in the basement that could be easily turned into a wine cellar or storage.
With its prestigious address and unparalleled charm, 59 East 66th Street epitomizes luxury living in Manhattan's Upper East Side, and is steps away from the area's impressive array of cultural pursuits. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Frick Collection are
close by, along with numerous world-class restaurants and charming cafes. The home is also steps away from Madison Avenue's shops, and includes names such as Hermes, Dolce & Gabbana, Goyard, etc. Central Park is also at your fingertips and provides an oasis of greenery and recreation opportunities.
