PHASE 2 SHOWINGS CAN RESUME - Film-caliber views, and *utilities covered in the maintenance* are just two reasons to love this recently renovated and spacious 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment on East 66th Street between Park and Lexington avenues. Pieds à terre and trust purchases are allowed. One enters this South-facing home through a spacious and welcoming entry/dining foyer, to the right of which is a sparkling updated kitchen with stainless steel Blomberg appliances, and abundant cabinetry fashioned in a crisp white and sleek gray above and below the rich marble counters, as well as a large, shelved pantry. The living room boasts decorative moldings, built-in shelving, and newly replaced, double-pained oversized windows overlooking protected townhouse gardens, historic landmarks, and notable midtown high-rises in the distance, together with abundant sky. There is beautiful hardwood flooring throughout. The bedroom connects through an "L" shaped hallway passage from the foyer, which has a wall of closets. There is more generous closet space with built-in shelving in the large master bedroom, which quite comfortably homes a king-sized bed. And the panoramic views from the bedroom compliment those of the living room, each respective wall of windows welcoming southern light all day long. The bath's recent renovation includes new fixtures and the addition of white subway tiling, which compliments the beautifully-maintained original tile flooring. 166 East 66th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues, is situated on a leafy, architecturally distinguished block. At hand are Lexington Avenue's numerous long-treasured local shops, restaurants as diverse as Sel et Poivre, Boulud Sud, and Donoghue's, as well as high-end homeware and design stores such as William & Wayne and Smallbone. Equinox is three and a half blocks away, and the 4, 6, N, R, and W subways provide convenient access to the rest of the city. Renowned international luxury brands such as Hermès, Valentino and John Varvatos, as well as restaurants such as Sant Ambroeus, and discrete, elegant townhouse restaurants like JoHo, can be found in rich abundance along the Madison Avenue corridor nearby. Central Park is two and a half blocks away. This mid-rise, mid-block building has a full-time doorman attending its elegant lobby, a resident Superintendent, and a well-tended basement laundry. Apartment 7A itself has designated storage which transfers with sale, roughly the size of the apartment's bedroom closet. Pieds-à-terre and trust purchases, as well as 50% financing are permitted, however subletting is discouraged. There are no assessments, current or planned, and the seller pays the building's 2% flip tax. Weekend open houses are not permitted, but weekend appointments can be accommodated. Pets are welcome.
