Chez 66, located at 21 East 66th Street on the northwest corner of Madison Avenue, is a 12-story prewar building constructed in 1921. The red-brick structure features distinctive architectural elements including rope quoins on the first through third and tenth through eleventh floors, and was one of the first prewar buildings to be converted to condominiums in the late 1980s.
The boutique building contains 18-19 luxury residences, with a unique configuration of just one to two units per floor. The building's prewar character is preserved through architectural details such as high beamed ceilings, herringbone floors, and thick moldings, while many units have been extensively modernized with contemporary amenities.
Positioned in a prime Upper East Side location, the building sits just steps from Central Park and is adjacent to the Newhouse Gallery. The surrounding neighborhood features world-renowned boutiques along Madison Avenue, numerous art galleries, fine dining establishments, and is across from the Skirball Center for Adult Jewish Education of Temple Emanuel.
The building maintains a full-time doorman service and offers private storage facilities for residents. While the building does not include amenities such as a garage or health club, its location provides easy access to public transportation and the Central Park transverse road.
Typical apartments in the building feature spacious layouts, many with wood-burning fireplaces, formal dining rooms, and multiple exposures offering views of Madison Avenue and the Manhattan skyline. The building is pet-friendly and many units have been thoughtfully renovated to incorporate modern luxury finishes while preserving prewar architectural elements.
