137 East 66th Street Review
This handsome, 9-story, red-brick, mid-block, pre-war apartment building is a cooperative and has 36 apartments. It is adjacent to an impressive, limestone-clad, Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style apartment building at 131 East 66th Street and across the street from the also impressive Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent Ferrer.
This building has a three-story rusticated limestone base, a doorman, a roof deck, some curved wrought-iron balconies, sidewalk landscaping and it permits protruding air-conditioners. It has no garage and no health club.
This is a fairly glamorous section of the Upper East Side with some very tall luxury apartment towers nearby on Third Avenue and some fine townhouse side-streets along with excellent local shopping and a wide variety of cultural and social institutions. Hunter College is at Lexington and 67th Street where there is a subway station.
Lexington Avenue has a very wide mix of retail in this area, which is close to Bloomingdale's and traffic heading for the Queensborough Bridge. There is cross-town bus service on 67th Street.
