Description

Welcome to 131 East 81st Street, Apartment #10 in Manhattan.

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! This residence is in a great location at the heart of Upper East Side, a vibrant neighborhood that offers world-class destinations within a short distance to museums, art galleries, shopping, and Michelin star-rated restaurants.

PRIVATE AND SPACIOUS This 18-story boutique cooperative is located in the corner of Lexington and 81st Street. The private-keyed elevator brings you to the 10th Floor, where you enter a full-floor apartment with an open floor plan drenched in natural light from all four exposures.

VIEWS AND OUTDOORS This spacious two-bedroom two-bath has windows all around and is one of the very few apartments in the building that offers three balconies. Windows in the kitchen and dining area offer open views of the skyline and Lexington Avenue. The dining and living areas have windows facing east, south and west with partial views of the city skyline and the park. You may access one balcony from the dining area facing east, and access the second balcony from the living area facing south. The third balcony also faces south and is accessible from the master bedroom.

AMENITIES There are mahogany hardwood floors in excellent condition throughout the apartment. The foyer has a wall of closet cabinets and leads to living / dining areas, kitchen, and bedrooms. The windowed kitchen features efficient and streamlined Bosch stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. The master suite has southern and western exposures, access to a balcony, and two walk-in closets. Its windowed en-suite bathroom has a Kaldewei soaking bathtub, which transforms it into a place of relaxation. The second bedroom offers plenty of closet space, is well-proportioned, and has its own bathroom. There is generous storage space throughout, and a laundry closet with washer/dryer.

HOUSE RULES The cooperative board of the building permits pets, pied-a-terre use, foreign buyers, guarantors, co-purchases, subletting, and up to 70% financing. There is a two percent flip tax to be paid by the buyer. There is a video intercom and the resident staff accepts and delivers packages. All this at a relatively low maintenance.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, 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.
