Description

Low Maintenance. Prime Location. Prewar Charm. Exceptional Value - All in One Upper East Side Gem.

Welcome home to apartment 9C at 140 East 81st Street. This meticulously maintained and tranquil prewar one-bedroom is perfectly positioned in the heart of the Upper East Side. Situated in the west wing of a distinguished 1928 building, this residence enjoys rare privacy with only three apartments on the floor.

Enter through a gracious foyer featuring a custom walk-in closet, leading into a spacious living and dining area that immediately welcomes you with warmth and elegance. Continuing on you will notice classic prewar details including stunning herringbone oak hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, and baseboard moldings which enhance the home's timeless character.

Just off the living space is the large, windowed eat-in kitchen which is outfitted with modern stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher, LG refrigerator, and GE oven. Additionally you will find abundant cabinet storage above and below. A perfect blend of functionality and charm.

Continuing through the living room is the windowed bathroom which features a shower tub combination as well as a vanity with mirrored and below sink storage. Adjacent to the bathroom is a conveniently located large linen closet with custom built-ins.

The king-sized bedroom is a true sanctuary, offering both comfort and style in equal measure. Exceptionally spacious, it easily accommodates a full suite of furniture including a king bed, nightstands, dressers, and even a workspace without ever feeling cramped. Bathed in natural light from its open northern exposures, the room enjoys a peaceful, airy ambiance perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. A thoughtfully designed custom walk-in closet provides abundant storage.

Located on a picturesque tree-lined block, 140 East Tenants Corp. is a premier full-service cooperative. Amenities include an elegant lobby, 24-hour doorman, attentive live-in superintendent, landscaped garden, laundry facilities, bike storage, gym, and a common storage room.

Enjoy living just moments from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park, and the best shopping and dining the Upper East Side has to offer. Conveniently close to all four major subway lines and crosstown buses, this location combines tranquility with unbeatable accessibility.

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.
