Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Sothebys International Realty.
A nine-story elevator cooperative from 1918 holds this two-bedroom, one-bath maisonette on East 66th Street, between Third and Lexington Avenues. The listing ties its layout to the feel of a private townhouse.
The apartment has windows in every room and faces south. South-facing windows give the most sun across the day. With an open horizon, a south window can get direct sun from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM around the winter solstice and from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM around the summer solstice. Nearby buildings can block that, so treat those hours as the window's potential, not a promise.
Storage is a real strength here. There's a walk-in closet in the primary bedroom, closet space throughout, and a storage room in the building with private spaces. The washer and dryer are in the unit, which matters day to day because it saves a trip to the building's laundry room every time you do a load.
Hardwood floors, central air, and city and skyline views round out the home. The kitchen has a dishwasher, and the interiors were recently renovated.
Transit is close. The 6 train at 68 St-Hunter College is about 3 minutes on foot, and Lexington Av/63 St for the M and Q is about 4 minutes. Central Park is about 9 minutes away on foot, Whole Foods Market is about 3 minutes, and the Frick Collection is about 10 minutes.
The building has a part-time doorman from 9am to 1am daily and a live-in superintendent. It also allows pied-a-terres, and cats and dogs are allowed. The listing notes a 1% building flip tax, so that's a number to review before you make an offer.
