Property Description for 140 East 81st Street, 4-E
NO EXPENSE WAS SPARED IN THE GUT RENOVATION OF THIS GORGEOUS HOME.
This magnificent 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath palace is sure to impress, perfectly blending classic elegance with exquisite, extensive, and expensive renovations.
Enter through a gracious gallery/foyer and marvel at the luxurious Philip Jeffries gold-leafed ceiling. To your right, you'll find an expansive living room directly connected to the dining room, boasting Philip Jeffries wallpaper and Vaughan wall sconces. Just off the dining room, the kitchen offers high-end chef's appliances and more Vaughan lighting in a sumptuous setting. Between the custom cabinetry and Versailles quartz counters and backsplash, you'll find a large Subzero fridge, Miele dishwasher, and Thermador oven.
The extra-large principal bedroom features a massive walk-in closet and flank the lavish master bathroom along with the spacious second bedroom. The master bath is outfitted with Waterworks fixtures and has an Anne Sacks marble floor. The powder room, just off the dining room, also features Anne Sacks flooring and Samuel Hearth hardware.
Gorgeous crown molding, pristine hardwood floors, blackout shades and brand-new city quiet windows add to the charm and comfort of this lovely home. This all-out gut renovation is the epitome of luxury, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. The unit features three built-in air conditioners, installed by Hamilton air, as well as a wine station with Subzero wine refrigerator.
140 East 81st Street is a well-run and established pre-war, full-service coop with a highly rated managing agent, friendly staff, and low underlying mortgage. It has a new exercise room, laundry room, courtyard garden, and bike storage. The building earns strong retail income, has one of the lowest maintenances in the area, allows 75% financing and has no flip tax. Close to the 77th St subway, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park, charming restaurants, and high-end shops, 140 East 81st is perfectly situated. Pied-a-terre and pets allowed.

Quick Profile
Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.
With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.
Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .
There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
