Description

215 East 81st Street, 2A Upper East Side

This tastefully renovated and charming one bedroom, one bathroom offers an incredible opportunity to purchase a condo in prime Upper East Side. No board approval needed, no rental restrictions, and the ability to deduct 100% of the mortgage interest makes this apartment perfect for anyone looking for a first home, pied-a-terre, or an investment property.

The apartment is one of the few layouts in the building that is not a duplex, giving you the benefit of your entire apartment being on a single floor. The floorplan is well laid out, and fully utilizes all of the space available. The open kitchen features custom cabinets and top-of the line appliances, including a Viking range, Subzero fridge, and Bosch dishwasher. The soft grey tones of the backsplash, stone counter tops, and tiled floor compliment the custom cabinets, while the breakfast bar maximizes counter space.

The spacious living room is accented by the two south-facing windows, providing consistent light throughout the day; creating a bright, welcoming space to entertain in. There are two additional windows in the bedroom, and an enormous walk-in closet with custom built-ins and full-sized, vented washer and dryer. The renovated bathroom features a modern vanity for storage, and tasteful grey color pallet. Lastly, HVAC cooling and heating gives you the flexibility to regulate the temperature of each room individually.

215 East 81st Street is a boutique condominium along a tranquil, tree-lined street in the heart of the Upper East Side. The building features: Doorman & Concierge Service, Live-in Resident Manager, Common Outdoor Landscaped Garden, Laundry Room, Designer Lobby & Mail Room. This building is conveniently located close to all of the most sought-after neighborhood amenities. Fantastic restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping are all within a couple blocks of the Duplex Condominiums, and access to public transportation is now easier than ever with the opening of the 2nd Avenue Subway.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
