Overview of 40 East 66th Street

40 East 66th Street is a distinguished pre-war condominium designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela in 1929 and converted from rental units in 2008 by Vornado Realty Trust. The 13-story red-brick building, featuring a limestone base and decorative architectural details, houses 33 luxury residences in one of Manhattan's most coveted locations, just one block from Central Park.

The residences are characterized by generous proportions and classic Candela layouts, featuring wood-burning fireplaces, high-end appliances from Viking, SubZero, and Miele, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. Many units offer unique architectural elements typical of Candela's sophisticated design approach, including well-proportioned rooms and elegant flow between public and private spaces.

This white-glove building offers comprehensive amenities including 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a fitness room, children's playroom, bike room, central laundry, and private storage. Its prime Upper East Side location provides immediate access to Madison Avenue's luxury boutiques, fine dining establishments, art galleries, and cultural attractions, embodying the essence of sophisticated Manhattan living.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "meticulously renovated" Rosario Candela prewar gem offers "spacious" three-plus bedroom residences in the "heart of the Upper East Side." The "impeccably maintained" building features "great services" and generous floor plans with "just three apartments per floor." A classic conversion that delivers "prewar grandeur" with modern updates.
