Description
Sun Filled Prewar Classic 6 Located on a quintessential tree-lined Upper East Side townhouse block, this mint condition Classic 6 is a perfect find. The elegant foyer leads to a bright and cheery living room with wood-burning fireplace and southern treetop views over townhouses. The adjacent spacious formal dining room leads to a butler's pantry and renovated windowed kitchen with top of the line appliances including a vented Wolf range with grill, Subzero refrigerator and wine cooler, and Miele dishwasher. Additional kitchen details include custom cabinetry providing ample storage and Calacatta Gold marble countertops. A bedroom hallway leads to two south-facing spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has 7 closets and a gut renovated ensuite bathroom. The ample second bedroom is directly across the hallway from another renovated white marble clad windowed bathroom. The well sized maid's room, currently used as a bedroom, could be repurposed as an office or play space. It includes a powder room and a vented Bosch washer/dryer that replaced the shower stall. Additional notable details include hardwood floors, crown molding, coffered ceilings, custom mill work and through the wall air conditioning throughout the apartment. Built in 1927, 163 East 81st Street is an elegant prewar cooperative with only four apartments per floor. There is a full time doorman and live-in superintendent. The building permits 50% financing and is pet friendly. Pied-a-terres are considered on a case by case basis. There is a 2% flip tax paid by purchaser. This apartment is not to be missed!

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.
