40 East 66th St. #5C

SIGNED LEASES.In the 1920s, architect Rosario Candela created gracious apartment buildings that epitomized city living at its finest in New York City. Every element of 40 East 66th Street has been enhanced and revitalized through this immaculate conversion of the white glove full-service building. Uniquely classic pre-war finishes with a modern twist make this seven-room home unlike anything else on Madison Avenue. The spectacularly private three-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom home shares its elevator and vestibule with only one other apartment. The spacious reception gallery connects the living room that boasts a wood-burning fireplace and western views over Madison Avenue with a separate formal dining room. Meticulous craftsmanship can be observed in the generous limestone surround of the wood-burning fireplace, the chic herringbone pattern of the oak floors, and the way the top-of-the-line appliances are seamlessly set into the fabulous marble-clad kitchen. A wonderful layout, fabulous cook’s kitchen with breakfast room, generous closet space, and a maid’s room make this home truly desirable.
