Upper East Side: A Devilish Address – 666 Park Avenue
On 67th and Park Avenue, there is a 21-room apartment that occupies three floors of the 660 Park Avenue building. The apartment itself, however, has always enjoyed its own “devilish” address, as 666 Park Avenue. The first resident, in the 1920’s, was the distinguished Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, who paid $185,000 for the unit. At the time, it was the most ever paid for a residence in Manhattan. By 1991, the home listed by owner Leslie Samuels for $9 million. Today, this listing could perhaps sell for over $25 million, however, the Samuels couple spent more than 40 years entertaining in this Park Avenue home and it does not appear that they are moving any time soon.
