Property Description for 40 East 66th Street, 2-C
Constructed in 1929, 40 East 66th Street is perhaps one of the last Rosario Candela buildings in the city to be converted to a condominium. Every element of 40 East 66th Street has been enhanced and revitalized through this immaculate conversion of the white glove service building. Uniquely classic pre-war finishes with a modern twist make this 2,309 sq. ft. 5.5 room home unlike anything else on Madison Avenue.
This large gracious Family Home boasts two master bedrooms with full bathrooms en-suite, a separate formal dining room, spectacular cook’s kitchen with butler’s pantry, a chic powder room off the formal reception hall that serves the delightful living room, generous closet space, and a private 482 square foot terrace just adds value to this classic apartment.
The Spacious reception gallery connects the living room that boasts a wood-burning limestone fireplace and direct views over Madison Avenue along with chic white oak herringbone patterned floors.
From the master bedroom, Georgian sash windows also present direct views over Madison Avenue. The spacious 5-fixture bathroom to the 20’ x 18’ Master Bedroom Suite features Lefray Brooks of England faucets, heated towel racks and heated custom-designed basket weave marble floors. The fabulous cook’s kitchen with top of the line appliances, artisan finishes and gorgeous marble countertops and back splash is a chef’s paradise that can also be accessed via the service entrance adjacent to the stacking washer/dryer closet.
This classic residence shares its elevator and vestibule with only two other apartments. The building is served from the resplendent new lobby with a 24-hour doorman and a porter. The buildings amenities are managed by the resident superintendent and features an exercise room, children’s playroom, communal laundry room, bicycle and storage room (subject to availability) Rented through May 2014

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
