131 E 66Th St

131 East 66th Street, known historically as The Studio Building, is a landmarked 12-story cooperative completed in 1907 and designed by Charles A. Platt in an Italian Renaissance palazzo idiom. The limestone-clad façade, grand columned entry, and large studio windows announce its prewar pedigree. Apartments are primarily multi-bedroom floorplans including dramatic duplexes with double-height living rooms and single-level one- and four-bedroom units; many residences retain original millwork, decorative fireplaces, high ceilings, pocket doors, and herringbone or oak floors. Interiors combine formal entertaining spaces — entry galleries, paneled libraries, and formal dining rooms — with eat-in or chef’s kitchens, windowed pantries, and convenient service elevators. Building conveniences reflect full-service, white-glove operation: 24-hour doormen, attended elevators, an on-site resident manager, elevator attendants, staffed entry, communal laundry, private storage, and a bike room. Exterior features include Juliet balconies and a small garden/courtyard presence at the property. The co-op permits pets and pieds-a-terre (case-by-case) and allows up to 50% financing; a 3% transfer/flip tax applies. The location on the Upper East Side places the building near Central Park, the Park Avenue Armory, cultural institutions, and neighborhood dining and retail, supporting a lifestyle that blends grand-scale, historic living with full-service urban convenience.
