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.
