Featuring a dramatic living room with soaring 19-foot ceilings, three wood-burning fireplaces, and an abundance of original architectural detail, this exceptional home embodies timeless elegance. There are four bedrooms plus a staff room and four windowed bathrooms. A gracious entrance gallery sets the tone, leading into the breathtaking double-height living room where four large south-facing windows flood the space with light. The scale and volume of this room are extraordinary - 19-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a wood-burning fireplace, and an exquisite original 15'4" north facing stained-glass window. Beyond the living room, an elegant formal dining room provides a perfect setting for entertaining, while the windowed eat-in kitchen blends prewar charm with modern functionality. It has a cozy corner banquette, ample pantry storage, and top-of-the-line appliances - including a Wolf range with grill, Miele dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, and built-in Frigidaire microwave. A pocket door allows the kitchen to be closed off for more formal occasions. A beautifully paneled library (or fourth bedroom) with the home's second wood-burning fireplace offers a quiet retreat for reading or relaxation. A windowed full bathroom with shower completes the main level. A sweeping staircase ascends to the second floor, where a dramatic balcony overlooks the living room below, underscoring the home's remarkable architectural character. The primary suite, bathed in southern light, is a serene private sanctuary featuring a windowed dressing room, three large closets, and built-in dressers. The windowed primary bathroom includes dual sinks, a separate shower, and a soaking tub. An upstairs sitting room with a built-in desk provides a peaceful space to read or work from home. Two additional bedrooms complete the upper level - one with an en-suite windowed bath and the third wood burning fireplace, the other served by a windowed hall bath with shower. This level also includes a windowed laundry room, a secondary kitchenette complete with a dishwasher, refrigerator, and cooktop, as well as a staff bedroom and abundant closet storage. The home also comes with an additional outdoor room that is currently being used as a private gym with a monthly maintenance of $426. In addition, the apartment has a dedicated storage bin. Residents of this prewar cooperative enjoy full-time doorman service, a live-in resident manager, gym, roof garden, and central laundry room. The building permits up to 50% financing and has a 3% flip tax payable by the purchaser. A home of remarkable beauty and scale, this one-of-a-kind duplex offers the best of both worlds - the volume and drama of a grand prewar residence and the warmth and intimacy of a truly livable home. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Duplex - **Beds**: 4 - **Baths**: 4 - **Rooms**: 10 - **Stories**: 9 - **Year Built**: 1918 - **Common Charges**: $15,917 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Nov 11, 2025 - **Days on Market**: 306 Days ### Residence Features - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft - Separate/Formal Dining Room - High Ceilings - Washer Dryer Allowed ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 8 apartments at 137 East 66th Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $925,000 in October 2025. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 9D (Apartment) | 2 | — | $925,000 | — | October 1, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 2A (Apartment) | 3 | — | $2,425,000 | — | December 28, 2023 | City record · MLS | | PHNE (Apartment) | 1 | — | $600,000 | — | September 29, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 2B (Apartment) | 3 | — | $2,250,000 | — | June 1, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 1-D (Apartment) | 1 | — | $790,000 | — | December 20, 2021 | City record · MLS | | 8C (Apartment) | 1 | — | $670,000 | — | December 8, 2021 | City record · MLS | | 4-C (Apartment) | 1 | 875 | $550,000 | $629/ft² | October 7, 2021 | City record · MLS | | 1A (Apartment) | — | — | $750,000 | — | September 13, 2021 | City record | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op four-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill is $4,375,000, based on 41 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $5,850,000, $1,475,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $3,325,000 and $6,750,000. - **Median closed price**: $4,375,000 - **Middle half**: $3,325,000 – $6,750,000 - **Based on**: 41 co-op four-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill - **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 15 of these 41 sales (37%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 39 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.7% of what it originally asked. 54% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Lenox Hill instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 98.7% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 54% of 39 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 74 days (about 11 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 94 days (about 13 weeks) Across the 39 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.7% of what it originally asked. 54% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 74 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 41 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 94 days (about 13 weeks), based on the 41 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 41 co-op four-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill, September 2024 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op four-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill, 2017 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $5,875,000 | 15 | | 2018 | $4,595,000 | 18 | | 2019 | $2,600,000 | 11 | | 2020 | $3,275,000 | 12 | | 2021 | $3,800,000 | 24 | | 2022 | $3,062,500 | 24 | | 2023 | $4,100,000 | 24 | | 2024 | $4,825,000 | 36 | | 2025 | $4,150,000 | 19 | | 2026 | $4,900,000 | 13 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Lenox Hill instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
