Property Description for 21 East 66th Street, 2-W

Introducing 21 East 66th Street #2W - an exquisite and highly coveted 3-bedroom 3-bathroom residence.

Residence #2W represents the best value 3-bedroom condo on the Fifth to Park Avenue corridor today. There is the added upside to exponentially increase home value through cosmetic enhancements and soft refurbishments. Similar lines in the luxury Chez 66 boutique condo have recently traded for $5M (#8W) and $6M (#5W).

This one-of-a-kind private half floor apartment embraces the privacy and luxurious interior layout considerations of a standalone townhome. A magnificent foyer welcomes you before leading you towards a resplendent sunbathed living room full of character and grandeur, beautifully appointed with a wood burning fireplace, oversized double windows with bright eastern sun exposure and iconic Madison Avenue cityscapes, soaring 10-foot beamed ceilings, original herringbone hardwood floors, French doors, built-in shelving, custom detailing, and exquisite wall and ceiling moldings - all the classics of prewar charm.

A rare blend of old-world elegance with contemporary accents, an unparalleled Upper East Side Gold Coast location steps from Central Park, and a golden ratio of incredible proportions and separation of space - everything you could ever want in a home at amazing value, and it won't be available for long!

This masterfully designed 1,906-square-foot home is the optimal size for a wide variety of arrangements. The grand living room flows seamlessly into a world-class chef's kitchen, impressively provisioned with Poggenpohl cabinetry, sleek granite finishes, three brand new Wolf ovens, a colossal SubZero industrial-sized refrigerator and freezer set, and an externally vented Wolf gas BBQ for year-round barbecuing, with a griddle and four additional burners. All commercial grade appliances newly installed at the end of 2019. With an expansive living room that can easily service a full dining area, the formal dining room can easily convert to a third en suite bedroom, children's room, play room, home office, private quarter for a nanny, walk-in closet, creative studio, or guest room. Every bedroom is generously sized and further complemented by its own windowed en suite bathroom, with western or eastern sun exposure, and custom California Closets throughout for ample storage space. Additional apartment highlights include a windowed laundry room with washer, dryer, and sink, fitted with Poggenpohl cabinetry, central AC, as well as a parking space that comes with the apartment (pre-paid for the first year).

The luxurious Chez 66 is an exclusive boutique condominium with a striking red brick facade and premier location between Madison and Fifth Avenue, across from the renowned Fred Leighton Building. Additional features and amenities include a one-step-up entrance with a six-step-up lobby which recently completed a stunning renovation, a 24-hour doorman, separate service entrance and service elevator man, and a massive storage room in the basement. Perfect for pied--terre, full time resident, or investment considerations.

The Upper East Side is one of Manhattan's most coveted neighborhoods within close proximity to everything New York City has to offer and access to a wide range of public transport - from tree-lined streets to boutique shops and cafes, high-end retail, a wealth of cultural highlights, gastronomic delights, a diverse and spirited restaurant and bar scene, architectural gems, and its close proximity to Central Park - this location undeniably offers one of the most quintessential New York living experiences!

Upper East Side | Manhattan

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.
