Description

Enter the airy entrance foyer of this stylish 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath home and immediately feel at home. You'll be greeted by the beautiful pre-war details of high beamed ceilings and herringbone wood floors. The generously sized living/dining room faces south and is a perfect backdrop for entertaining. The windowed eat-in kitchen features a Viking range, Liebherr refrigerator, Bosch d/w and microwave. White wood cabinetry, marble countertops and honed marble flooring complete the d cor.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a windowed half bath and a discreetly placed washer/dryer, with the dryer venting to the outside.

Bright and light, the spacious primary bedroom has city and skyline views facing north. There's plenty of storage with an expansive custom-built walk-in closet designed to meet the needs of any fashionista, plus an additional wall of custom-built closets.

From French doors off the foyer, enter the second bedroom with skyline views over the brownstones across the tree-lined street. A windowed full bath with tub separates the two bedrooms.

The apartment features thru-wall air conditioning and double-paned windows. Low maintenance!

Built in 1929, 140 East 81st Street is an exceptional pre-war building with full-time doormen, a live-in resident manager, fitness room, common garden area, storage room, bicycle storage, and laundry located steps from Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Pet friendly. Pied-a-terres on a case by case basis.

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.
