Description

 

120 East 81st Street, High-Floor Renovated 2BR with Open City Views

This high-floor, fully renovated two-bedroom, two-bath home offers open city views just off Park Avenue, blending sophistication with effortless comfort. An oversized south-facing living and dining room welcomes you with natural light and generous scale, flowing seamlessly into a thoughtfully redesigned windowed kitchen featuring abundant counter and storage space, a wine fridge, and sleek modern finishes.

Both marble bathrooms are elegantly appointed with premium fixtures, heated towel racks, and refined materials. Additional highlights include a dedicated home office area adjacent to the kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and exceptional storage - walk-in closets in both bedrooms plus eight additional closets throughout the home.

120 East 81st Street is a well-established, impeccably maintained cooperative with a beautiful lobby, newly renovated hallways, and an exceptional staff including a full-time resident manager. This pet-friendly co-op offers very low maintenance that includes utilities and basic cable, along with a well-equipped gym, storage, bike room, and reduced-rate on-site parking accessible directly from the building.

All of this in one of the most coveted locations on the Upper East Side, moments from Park Avenue, Madison Avenue boutiques, museums, and top dining.

About Upper East Side

View All Upper East Side Listings

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.
