11 W 81ST Street #4B

Spectacular soaring 10-7 ceilings and dramatic views of the Rose Planetarium describe this exquisite one bedroom, one and a half bathroom home in the esteemed Hayden House. An entry foyer leads to the grand entertaining room with a decorative fireplace and dramatic 9 x 7 window. This south-facing living room basks in all-day light and evening-glow views of the park and planetarium. A meticulously and well thought out renovation created a sophisticated open kitchen featuring honed stone counter tops, abundance of cabinetry, and a breakfast bar. A long hallway leads to the serene master bedroom, which also boasts soaring ceilings, a large closet with built-ins and a half bath. The over-sized full bath has a window and is tucked away off the hallway. Eleven West Eighty-First Street is located on one of New Yorks most coveted blocks, across the street from the American Museum of Natural History and the Rose Planetarium. Hayden House, a magnificent turn-of-the-century Beaux Arts limestone mansion, was built in 1908 and converted to a Coop in 1976. Its stunning restored marble lobby has a doorman. Amenities include a live-in super, a bike room, and a laundry room. New and noteworthy restaurants abound in this lively neighborhood at the heart of the Upper West Side. Pied-a-terres welcome.
