Co-op

Built in 1931

This exquisite 11-story Co-op offers two entrances and provides a full-service experience. Located at 116 East 68th Street, and 115 East 67th Street, Millan House was commissioned in 1931 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and designed by the notable architect Andrew J. Thomas, making it one of the Upper East Side's finest addresses.

Residence 2C is a quintessential classic 7 home, offering an elegant blend of Old World grandeur and contemporary convenience. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a formal hall featuring a marble and bluestone floor that sets the tone for this gracious residence. The expansive living room includes a wood-burning fireplace with a French antique marble surround and dramatic deep casement windows that flood the space with natural light. Across from the living room is a bright Dining room with custom bookcases, overlooking the building's private garden.

The layout includes two primary bedrooms, both with fully renovated en-suite bathrooms, offering privacy and comfort. The chef level eat-in kitchen comes complete with a purpose-built butler's pantry and side by side laundry. Two former staff rooms have been transformed into well-appointed and bright bedrooms, which share a fully renovated, windowed bathroom.

New soundproof casement windows throughout the apartment bring an air of modern sophistication while maintaining the classic aesthetic. A large, windowed storage unit, located in the basement, comes with the apartment. This home's original architectural details, such as high ceilings, parquet de Versailles and oak plank flooring throughout, exude historical beauty. North and South exposures offer tree top and tranquil garden views, further enhancing the peaceful ambiance of the space.

116 East 68th Street is not only architecturally significant, with its exquisitely carved fa ade, but it also provides full-service amenities. Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman service, a live-in resident manager, and the luxury of a central Italianate garden courtyard, an oasis in the heart of the city. The building's prime location places it just steps from Central Park, as well as the fashionable restaurants and boutiques of Madison and Lexington Avenues.

This 3-Bedroom, convertible 4, and 3-bathroom home, with its gracious layout and commodious closets, offers a rare opportunity to own in one of New York City's most coveted co-op buildings. The combination of historic elegance and modern updates make this residence truly exceptional-perfect for those seeking a prestigious and comfortable lifestyle on the Upper East Side.
