Overview of The Chatham at 181 East 65th Street

Carter’s Review

"The Chatham at 181 East 65th Street on the northwest corner at Third Avenue is a very handsome, red-brick, condominium apartment building on the former site of the Sign of the Dove Restaurant that for several decades was one of the most elegant and expensive on the Upper East Side.

The 34-story tower, which was completed in 2000, was designed by Robert A. M. Stern, a leading Post-Modem architect who is dean of the Yale School of Architecture and the author of several very major volumes on the history of New York's architecture over the last century or so."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "elegant" Upper East Side residence, designed by "preeminent" architect Robert A.M. Stern, showcases a "classic" Georgian-inspired facade with limestone base and brick detailing that "harmonizes perfectly" with its distinguished neighborhood. The building's "grand" architectural presence and "seamless" blend of convenience and charm make it a "standout" among luxury condominiums, though some note it's "not for bargain hunters."
