Property Description for 20 East 66th Street, 2-A
20 East 66th Street, Apt. 2A — a full-floor residence on one of the Upper East Side’s most sought-after blocks, just off Madison Avenue and moments from Central Park.
This spacious two-bedroom home sits in a prewar elevator building and combines classic architectural scale with a thoughtful, high-quality renovation completed a few years ago and maintained beautifully since.
A keyed elevator opens directly into the apartment, setting the tone for privacy and ease. The layout offers two well-sized bedrooms and an expansive living area framed by 12-foot ceilings and oversized windows that pull in steady natural light. Wide-plank white oak floors run throughout, giving the entire home a clean, polished feel.
The windowed kitchen was fully redone and remains in excellent condition, outfitted with streamlined cabinetry, modern appliances, and stone counters that make the space both functional and understated. Both bathrooms feature marble-look finishes and a timeless design that has held up well. An in-unit washer/dryer adds everyday convenience, and the building offers an additional laundry room as a backup.
Two fireplaces anchor the living spaces, adding warmth and character on quieter nights. The full-floor configuration, combined with front-and-back exposure, gives the home a sense of separation and calm rarely found in this location.
Outside your door are the boutiques and restaurants of Madison Avenue, the cultural institutions of Fifth Avenue, and Central Park less than a block away.
Apt. 2A offers space, privacy, and enduring quality in one of the most desirable pockets of Lenox Hill — a home that feels both elevated and comfortable, right where you want to be.

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.
