Description
Like nothing else. You will be blown away by the unique and dazzling views from this “quintessential Manhattan” penthouse showpiece. Overlooking Central Park, Billionaire’s Row and the iconic Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, this one-of-a-kind residence is newly renovated. Perched atop The Hayden House, an intimate and distinguished prewar coop, this home boasts three terraces, high ceilings with skylights and light streaming in from every angle, making you feel on top of the world. Enjoy breakfast on your quiet back terrace or sip coffee overlooking Central Park. Cook with your terrace doors open over the expanse of treetops, and entertain guests with prime views overlooking the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Upon entering the apartment, your eyes are immediately met with two elegant sets of French doors leading to balconies overlooking Central Park. The spacious living room is accented with high ceilings and beautiful herringbone wood floors that have been newly refinished. The newly renovated kitchen includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele range and large island that opens up to the living area as well as a breakfast room that spills out onto a quiet terrace in the back. An ample bedroom, with brand new wood floors, overlooks the terrace and has a newly renovated ensuite bathroom. The apartment also has new central air conditioning throughout. The Hayden House, at 11 West 81 Street, is a Beaux Arts beauty that was built in 1908 and converted to a coop in 1976. With only 12 floors and approximately 36 units, this is a discreet and charming full-service prewar building. There is private storage and central laundry in the basement. Pets are permitted and 75% financing is allowed. There is a 2% flip tax.
