Description

170 West 81st Street Apartment 7B is a spacious and bright one bedroom apartment with modern upgrades and beautiful touches of pre-war detail. Perched above the surrounding rooftops of the Upper West Side on the 6th floor, enjoy clear, sky views to the South and West.

Upon entering, big windows immediately draw your attention with the beautifully detailed buildings to the north and open sky views. Drop your items in the deep coat/utility closet as you enter the dining area with built-in bookcases. Step up into a windowed south facing kitchen offering modern upgrades. An abundance of cabinets and counter space will thrill any home chef with plenty of over and under counter storage.

A complete gem in this prewar coop, you will immediately notice the beautifully refinished hardwood floors and 9' ceilings throughout. The spacious living room will allow countless furniture layouts and plenty of space for a large desk to work from home.

The generously portioned bedroom is sufficiently separated from the living room for great noise reduction. Windows share the same exposure as the living room with an additional built-in book shelf. Two deep side by side closets help with additional bedroom storage saving plenty of space for bed side tables, dressers or a love seat. Ideal space for any size bed and additional furniture.
