Description
An opportunity to own a grand scale 1 bedroom & 2 full bath residence at 15 West 81st Street, one of the premier, white-glove Upper West Side cooperatives. It is a truly rare opportunity when an apartment of this nature and price point becomes available in a building of this stature. The elegant foyer leads to an expansive square living room providing the perfect setting for comfortable living and entertaining. The living room features quiet and sunny western and southern exposures. The renovated windowed kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a pass-through breakfast bar to the living room which is the perfect setting for casual meals. A separate dining area is conveniently adjacent to the kitchen and the living room. A beautifully renovated full bath and large storage closet with full laundry complete this area of the home. A long gallery leads to the completely separate bedroom wing. Five generous closets line the gallery, including a massive walk-in providing abundant storage. The grand scale bedroom measures over 23' by 13’ creating enough space for the largest of bedroom sets, a separate sitting area, and a home office. The windowed, en-suite bath features restored original Emery Roth tiling and fixtures and a deep cast iron soaking tub. 15 West 81st Street is a white glove coop with a reputation for stellar service, and financial stability and is located on one of the most sought-after blocks in Manhattan just off Central Park West and across from the Museum of Natural History and the Rose Planetarium. Modern building amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, playroom, and separate storage rooms for owners. 50% financing is permitted and a 2% flip tax is payable by the purchaser.
