Description

This lovely, sun filled, one-bedroom, one-bathroom duplex penthouse apartment has a unique layout and lots of charm. It is coveted for primary living and it is also an excellent investment property. As you walk through the front door and up a few steps, you will notice the sunlight streaming through the south facing windows and the skylight, the ceiling soaring to 14 feet at the highest peak. The apartment boasts a custom kitchen with Italian wood cabinetry, large breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances including Sub Zero refrigerator, Viking stove, Cesarstone countertops, and Kohler fixtures throughout. Up the steps to your right is the master bedroom, which leads to your private south facing balcony and an-suite bathroom. The master suite includes a walk-in closet and a separate dressing alcove. The apartment is wired for cable and high-speed internet and features insulated double-paned noise reduction windows and new HVAC cooling and heating systems.

215 East 81st Street is a unique boutique condominium located in the heart of New York City's Upper East Side.

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.
