Property Description for 51 West 81st Street, 8-J
PRISTINE PARK VIEW LUXURY
Newly, renovated, this stunning, light-filled home offers dramatic, direct views of the Park, Natural History Museum, and New York's skyline.
Entering this exquisite property through a pristine foyer, you will arrive in a large, quiet and beautiful corner living room with oversized windows that offer stunning south and west-facing views and radiant sunlight. With plenty of space to entertain, you'll also have a unique perspective of the surrounding architecture, nature, and -- of course -- local events such as the Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Off from the living area is a separate dining space, also with park views, that can comfortably accommodate up to six guests. The dining area leads to a perfectly arranged kitchen, with granite countertops and brand-new premium appliances and fixtures.
The bedroom is also filled with light, with room for a king bed and ample space for storage. The bathroom, which sits behind the bedroom, is an exquisite, bright, and relaxing space, with gorgeous Bianco Dolomiti Italian tiles and luxurious fixtures from Kohler.
The entire apartment has been thoroughly and thoughtfully renovated, with hardwood floors, new lighting and new fixtures throughout. The result is a premium, contemporary space, that will make a distinctive home for a distinguished buyer.
Apartment 8J is located within The Galaxy, an architecturally significant beaux-arts cooperative with a prestigious West 81st Street address, opposite the Museum of Natural History. This ideal location at the heart of the Upper West Side is steps away from Central Park, the Delacorte Theater and numerous local restaurants, bars and boutiques. The vibrant neighborhood is ideally located for local schools, places of worship, and community attractions such as the weekly farmers market.
The cooperative itself is in superb financial health and residents benefit from excellent door staff, resident superintendent, and full porter service. Additional amenities include laundry facilities on every floor and a stunning roof deck with sweeping park and city views. The building welcomes pets and will accommodate up to 75% financing and pieds-a-terre.

Quick Profile
Bracketed on its east and west borders by massive city parks, the Upper West Side (UWS) is known for its greenery, stately and elegant townhomes, safe streets and great schools, all of which make it a very desirable neighborhood for families. The UWS has maintained its community feeling, making it attractive to young professionals and retirees, both of whom want a sense of belonging in the place they call home.
Here you’ll find many apartment buildings, especially those along Central Park West. Historic architecture abounds, anchored by four luxury co-ops - the San Remo, Majestic, Century and Eldorado apartments - all of which have two towers on their interiors. They were built in the 1930s and their design was predicated on a 1929 building code that imposed a height limit on residences facing the street. There are also impressive row houses near Riverside Drive throughout the W 70 and 80 Streets. Above the 90s, you will find smaller buildings where walk-ups are very reasonably priced.
There are several world-class museums and venues dedicated to the performing arts. Plentiful dining can be found in the UWS. You will find everything from quaint Jewish delis serving up bagels and a schmear to sophisticated fine dining that has earned multiple Michelin stars, and everything you could possibly want in between. There is also abundant shopping and a vibrant nightlife.
