A charming two-bedroom, three-bathroom home at 139 E. 66th St. is about to hit the market for $1.8 million.

The ninth-floor co-op was home to the late, legendary editor Judith Jones, known for having published Anne Frank’s “The Diary of a Young Girl” after rescuing it from the rejection pile.

Jones also championed Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” and, as Child’s editor, finally got it printed after many nixes.

Jones passed away in 2017 at age 93.

The 1,700-square-foot home comes with original details, like parquet floors and crown moldings.

There’s also a grand foyer, an open living room, formal dining room and, of course, a chef’s kitchen with a small butler’s pantry.

The listing brokers are Stribling’s Cornelia Zagat Eland and Mark Reynolds Blumenfeld.
