A landmarked building built in 1929 by Rosario Candela, perhaps the most influential architect of his era, 40 East 66th Street is an unmistakable pre-war luxury mid-rise that has been updated to meet the high standards of modern luxury in Manhattan. Located in the Lenox Hill section of the Upper East Side, 40 East 66th Street captures the tasteful, elegant tone that defines the neighborhood. The lobby of 40 East 66th Street exemplifies that classic pre-war style; it boasts vaulted ceilings, patterned floors, and walls of St. Laurent and Oro Toscano marble.
Though 40 East 66th Street stands 12-stories tall, there are only 33 luxury apartments inside, mainly because those apartments were designed with 3-bedroom layouts and multiple exposures. Large by Manhattan standards (especially Upper East Side standards), these luxury apartments have all been fully renovated. All of the luxury apartments in 40 East 66th Street feature classic luxuries such as white oak herringbone patterned floors, crown moldings, walk-in closets, a formal dining room, a maid’s room, and even a wood-burning limestone fireplace. The brand-new kitchens feature integrated cabinetry, Barber Wilson & Co. faucets, and Viking Stoves, while the spa-like bathrooms boast heated towel racks, basketwave marble floors, and soaking tubs.
40 East 66th Street sits on the corner of Madison Avenue in Lenox Hill, putting it right in the center of Manhattan’s high-end retail world. Besides those chic clothing stores, 40 East 66th Street is located close to Central Park, Museum Mile, and multiple high-end restaurants. The safe, luxurious lifestyle of the Manhattan’s Upper East Side is on full display at 40 East 66th Street. Plus, this pre-war mid-rise features amenities such as a 24-hour doorman, fitness center, children’s playroom, and storage spaces for both bikes and strollers.
