Description
Deal fell through! Back on the market! Wonderful opportunity to move right in to this beautiful prewar two-bedroom apartment, perfectly located in a full-service boutique cooperative on a charming tree-lined block in the heart of the Upper East Side. Space, light, and charm define this well-proportioned renovated home replete with high beamed ceilings, prewar details, and gorgeous hardwood floors. The generously proportioned living room with open city views is filled with natural sunlight all day long and features a wood burning fireplace as its centerpiece. The bright chef's kitchen combines function with lovely design details, including quartz stone countertops and ceramic tile backsplash, and boasts top of the line appliances including Sub-Zero and Bosch, an abundance of storage, a large window with a peek of the All Souls steeple, and a breakfast bar open to the oversized and airy living room. A private hallway vestibule leads to the two large sunlit bedrooms, both with ample closet space. The corner primary bedroom enjoys a windowed en-suite bath which also opens to the hallway, allowing it to function also as a guest bathroom. An additional half bath may be restored with board approval. Built in 1927 and designed by Schwartz and Gross, 163 East 81st Street is moments from the city's best museums, transportation, public and private schools, shopping, and restaurants. With only four apartments per floor, 163 East 81st boasts best-in-class service, including 24-hour doorman, resident superintendent, private storage, bicycle storage, and central laundry. Pets are welcome and 50% financing is allowed. Pieds-a-terre are considered on a case-by-case basis. There is 2% flip tax paid by purchaser. Photos are virtually staged.

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.
