Description
Move right into this wonderfully bright, spacious and private, full floor 2 Bedroom/2 Bathroom residence in a boutique cooperative in the heart of the Upper East Side. The private keyed elevator takes you to the 9th Floor, where the welcoming gallery opens into the stunning, light flooded and large open living/dining room with three exposures, perfect for entertaining and quiet enjoyment. The handsome custom built-ins and dark hardwood floors lend a prewar feeling to the home and are complemented by the large windows and sensational views of The Unitarian Church of All Souls. The state-of-the-art windowed chef's kitchen features top of the line stainless steel Jenn-Air and SubZero appliances. The gracious primary suite has both southern and western exposures and two California Closet designed walk-in closets. Its windowed ensuite marble bath has a deep soaking tub and separate glass enclosure. The second bedroom (currently used as a den) is well-proportioned and has its own bathroom. There is generous storage space throughout and a washer/dryer in the apartment. Pets, pied a terres, foreign buyers, guarantors, co-purchases and subletting are all allowed and the building permits up to 80% 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. 131 East 81st Street is an 18-story cooperative built in 1982. Just minutes from the 4,5,6, and Q subway lines as well as crosstown, uptown and downtown buses, this ideal location offers easy access to Central Park and the neighborhood's best restaurants, museums, galleries and shopping as well as Whole Foods, Eli's and Fairway, not to mention Equinox and SoulCycle. All this and low maintenance to boot! Will not last!

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
