Property Description
Experience the epitome of elegance and grand-scale pre-war living with this high-floor, seven-room residence at 15 West 81st Street, situated on one of Manhattan's most prestigious blocks. This home boasts sun-drenched views of the Museum of Natural History, the Rose Planetarium, and the expanse of Central Park, culminating in a breathtaking panorama of the Midtown skyline. A superb mix of modern renovations and meticulously restored features from the original design by Emery Roth creates the perfect harmony for this residence.
As you enter, a grand 24-foot gallery welcomes you, connecting the spacious living room to the expansive great room. The living room—a generous 17-by-27-foot space—offers an unmatched backdrop of the city's iconic landmarks. It provides abundant space for multiple furniture arrangements and features comfy window seats for a front-row view of the Thanksgiving Day Parade and balloon inflation night, as Thanksgiving Eve is known on this block. The living room is also adorned with a wall of high-end, custom-built cabinetry and storage.
The renovated open kitchen extends into what was once the formal dining room, creating the much sought-after open floor plan for modern and comfortable living. Measuring over 15 by 18 feet, the dining area is a haven for entertainers, complete with an oversized window that invites abundant natural light. Across from the picture window is a wall of handsome, solid wood built-in cabinetry and storage, along with a home office discreetly tucked away behind flush custom doors.
Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the expansive eat-in kitchen, which includes a sunny courtyard view, abundant floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, an expansive island with comfortable seating for casual meals and socializing, and a suite of high-end appliances—including a large side-by-side Sub-Zero refrigerator, a six-burner Viking range with a vented hood, a Bosch dishwasher, and a wine fridge. A conveniently located powder room, separate wine room, and laundry area complete this section of the residence.
The separate bedroom wing houses a palatial 14-by-24-foot primary suite with a dressing room lined with custom closets leading to a truly massive walk-in closet, and an en suite bath showcasing impeccably preserved Emery Roth tiling, a luxurious deep cast-iron soaking tub, and a separate shower stall. The suite shares the same awe-inspiring views of the Museum, Planetarium, and Central Park.
The generous second bedroom extends 20 feet toward the same lovely southern exposures and views, and features a perfectly restored Emery Roth bath and a massive walk-in closet. A tranquil third bedroom presents a peaceful courtyard view, ample closet space, and a personal en suite bath adorned with timeless tiling and fixtures.
The residence is replete with new windows, through-the-wall air conditioning, abundant closet space, and exquisite pre-war details such as original herringbone floors, solid wood doors, and classic moldings—all in impeccable condition.
Nestled within a prestigious white-glove cooperative known for its exceptional service, 15 West 81st Street is a stone's throw from Central Park West. Amenities include two full-time doormen, a resident manager, a professional staff of 20, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and additional conveniences. Owners also enjoy access to a bike room, playroom, and individual storage. The building permits 50% financing and requires a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
