This elegant, masterfully designed pre-war cooperative apartment in one of Manhattan's most distinguished buildings has lovely north and south exposures. It shares an elevator landing with only one other apartment.

A gracious foyer leads to the spacious square living room/dining room with three large windows, built-in bookcases and fireplace. Also accessed from the foyer are a generously proportioned primary bedroom with huge closets and bathroom en suite and a charming library, currently used as a bedroom; a second bathroom adjoins both bedrooms. The cheerful eat-in kitchen is well-equipped and includes a washer/dryer and large pantry. There is central air conditioning in the bedrooms and through-wall air conditioning in the kitchen.

Built in 1926 by renowned architects Pleasants Pennington and Albert W. Lewis, sixty-six East seventy-ninth Street was converted to cooperative in 1986.
