Property Description for 15 West 81st Street, 12-H
Just steps from Central Park on what may be the most elegant block within the Central Park West Historic District, 15 West 81 was designed in 1930 by famed architect Emery Roth, whose apartment buildings are considered among the greatest of the prewar period. Residence 12H captures the timeless beauty of its location, offering a gracious layout with four exposures, a full-width terrace with open northern views and a side view of Central Park, and original interior design details by Emery Roth.
A CLASSIC, GRACIOUS PREWAR LAYOUT
Signature elements of this residence's classic prewar layout include a spacious entry gallery accessed via a semi-private elevator vestibule, large dining and entertainment rooms, a kitchen with a butler's pantry, and a separate bedroom wing. Authentic grace notes include herringbone pattern oak floors throughout, crown and base molding, beamed 9'2 ceilings, and original Emery Roth-designed interior doorknobs and hardware.
ELEGANT ENTERTAINMENT ROOMS, WONDERFUL LIGHT, AND A PRIVATE TERRACE
The grandly sized living room features a decorative fireplace and enjoys wonderful light through oversized windows. French doors in the living room open to the terrace, which extends more than 60 feet across the entire width of the apartment and has the original slate paving and ironwork railing, both in excellent condition. The generous dimensions of the dining room / library easily accommodate a dining table as well as a comfortable sitting area.
The butler's pantry and kitchen feature original Art Deco era St. Charles stainless steel and glass cabinets. In addition to a wet bar, the butler's pantry is equipped with a washer and dryer. The kitchen, which enjoys eastern light through oversized windows, offers a windowed staff bathroom and can be accessed through the service entrance.
WINGED CORNER MASTER SUITES
A corridor from the entry gallery of the residence leads to two corner master suites, one with north and west views, and the other with south and west views. Each has a windowed en-suite bathroom with original, pristine condition Emery Roth ceramic wall tiles and basketweave pattern marble mosaic flooring. In addition to large closets in both bedroom suites, there are three closets in the entry gallery, including a cedar-lined walk-in closet with built-in shelving and hanging space.

Quick Profile
Home to some of New York City’s most famous buildings like The Dakota, with its enchanting architecture, and the equally impressive San Remo just a couple streets away, Central Park West is one of the most eye-popping neighborhoods to live in.
It is historically renowned for its blending of architecture and residential living. So much so, that it earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is thought to have some of the most diverse and beautiful skylines in all of New York and has drawn celebrity residents for decades
If world-class architecture isn’t enough for you, there are plenty of warm brownstones to be found as well. There is so much to do in Central Park West, the most obvious being in the name of the neighborhood itself. With Central Park running the length of one of its borders, there’s easy access to the park and all its wonders, running trails, row boats, and bridges. If you prefer the indoors, the American Museum of Natural History is at your service.
There are few places in the world that can match Central Park West’s varied combination of urban and residential charm, elegance, and spirit.
