Property Details
Description
Fresh off a total redesign and flooded with natural light from all three exposures, apartment 12A is ready for its newest owner.
Upon entering the gracious foyer, you immediately notice the perfect combination of pre-war details meeting a beautiful open layout. The large living room faces west with open exposure and offers beautiful herringbone floors, custom millwork, beamed ceilings, and wainscotting throughout. The open layout flows across the foyer and into the eastern-facing dining room allowing for natural light to flood the apartment all day long. Adjacent to the living room is a large separate kitchen with a full suite of high-end appliances, abundant storage, and plenty of counter space to prepare your perfect meals.
The bedroom corridor features three rooms and an off-suite guest bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are king-sized rooms with corner exposures and beautiful views clearing the nearby buildings. The primary suite is wrapped in custom closets and built-ins and features an en-suite bathroom. The building allows a washer and dryer to be installed in the apartment should the new owner choose to add that to this incredible home!
140 East 81st Street is one the the Upper East Side’s premiere Gold Coast cooperatives. It features a 24-hour doorman, laundry, common storage room, a gym, and a beautiful resident courtyard. Amazingly, the building has one of the lowest maintenance fees in the area, and there is no flip tax or transfer fee with sales. One dog is permitted per unit, and the building allows gifting, 75% financing, and prefers a low debt-to-income ratio. A pied a terre and parents buying for children are not permitted.
Offering one of the best values along Lexington Ave, this turn-key home simply will not last. Call today to schedule your private viewing.
Please note: the co-op has decided to upgrade the elevators, and 12A has an assessment of $1166.22 for 24 months.

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.
