Overview of 53 East 66th Street

Architect Mott B. Schmidt designed the stately edifice at 53 East 66th Street in a restrained style that combined Renaissance, Georgian, and Second Empire motifs in its red-brick façade, white stone trim, tall, keystone-capped windows, and a sloping mansard roof. The pre-war building features high ceilings, working fireplaces, and sprawling apartments, some of which offer dedicated staff quarters. The pet-friendly co-op includes services such as a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, and resident storage in the basement. The prime location between Park and Madison avenues offers convenient access to the Upper East Side’s and Midtown’s boutique shopping, fine dining, and Central Park, which sits just a block-and-a-half away.

Carter’s Review

"This very attractive, mid-block, 10-story, co-operative apartment building was erected in 1923 and has 25 units.  

It was designed by Mott B. Schmidt, the architect of major townhouses on Sutton Place, 655 and 1088 Park Avenue, and the Vincent Astor Townhouse that is now the Junior League of New York Building on East 80th Street.  His grandfather, Dr. John W. Schmidt Jr., was the first visiting surgeon at St. Vincent's Hospital and helped start the New York Academy of Medicine."

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
