Description

15 West 81st Street is a majestic, neo-Renaissance building on one of the most coveted, tree-lined blocks in Manhattan. Gracious and elegant, apartment 7E shares a private landing with one other residence and has one of the most desirable six-room layouts ever designed. This floor plan lends itself to a mix of refined living and welcoming entertainment. There is a natural flow from the impressive reception gallery into the unusually grand living room and dining rooms. Beautiful pre-war details and impeccably restored herringbone floors enhance the apartment, including the living room with a decorative fireplace, high ceilings, and three north-facing windows. Through-wall AC units add comfort to each room. The elegant formal dining room with custom built-in cabinetry and large windows leads to a chef's eat-in kitchen that is flooded with natural light and features original St. Charles cabinets, stainless steel countertops, and premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and Wolf range to enhance the culinary experience. The washer/dryer is conveniently located in the powder room adjacent to the kitchen. The vast, sunlit corner primary suite is a serene sanctuary looking out on historic brownstones with an eastern-facing window offering an oblique view of Central Park. The room features a custom walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom. The generously sized second bedroom continues to incorporate extensive storage space with two walk-in closets and custom built-in bookshelves and connects to the second Jack-and-Jill full bathroom with glazed tiling. The home comes with a private storage unit and superlative building amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, multi-purpose community room, and bike room. 15 West 81st Street was designed by Emery Roth and completed in 1930, while he also constructed the renowned Beresford and San Remo next door. Moments from Central Park West, convenient to transportation, restaurants, and entertainment venues, and across from the Museum of Natural History and the Rose Planetarium, this is a truly rare offer. 50 percent financing permitted; 2 percent flip tax.
