The expansive south-facing primary suite features an en-suite bathroom with separate stall shower and two walk-in closets, while a second bedroom, also south-facing, offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or library. Through-the-wall air conditioning, ample closet space, and an in-unit washer/dryer! Located at 131 East 81st Street, an established cooperative zoned in P.S. 6, which offers an exceptional Upper East Side location, and a new lobby is coming soon.

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