Property Description for 15 West 81st Street, 3-B

A stunning classic 7 room home located at 15 West 81st Street which simply exudes elegance and pre-war charm. This coveted apartment has gorgeous tree-lined views of the Museum of Natural History, Hayden Planetarium and Roosevelt Park from three of the main rooms including the living room, master bedroom, and second bedroom. The apartment features a classic pre-war layout, original details and truly grand scale proportions. Upon entering the residence you are met with a dramatic 9' by 27' reception gallery which flows graciously into a 17' by 27' grandly proportioned living room with three large windows emphasizing the beautiful views and light to the south overlooking the Park and Museum. On the opposite end of the entrance gallery you will find the large formal dining room which measures approximately 14' by 18'. Adjacent to the dining room is the renovated eat-in kitchen with through the wall AC, an abundance of custom built cabinetry for storage, granite counters, and all of the best high-end stainless steel appliances. The maid's room has been kept intact so it can be used as a fourth bedroom. There is a renovated en-suite half bath in the maid's room and the washer dryer is housed in this area of the home. A separate bedroom wing offers a massive 13' by 24' master bedroom suite complete with a dressing room, separate closets and an en-suite bathroom with perfectly restored original Emery Roth tiling. The large second bedroom also faces south with views of the Museum and Park and measures nearly 13' x 20' and also has its own en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom, with courtyard views, measures 12' by 17'. All of the bathrooms have the original Emery Roth tiles and fixtures which are in perfectly restored condition. There is an abundance of closet space and beautiful pre-war details including original herringbone floors, solid original wood doors and hardware, and beamed ceilings. 15 West 81st Street, the famed Emery Roth landmark building, is a long-established white-glove cooperative with a reputation for stellar service and financial stability. It is located on one of the most sought after blocks in Manhattan and boasts modern amenities such as a state of the art fitness center, playroom, and separate storage rooms for owners.

Upper West Side | Manhattan

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.
