Property Description for 15 West 81st Street, 12-AB

Come see this breath-taking five to six bedroom apartment with Southern views over the Natural History Museum and Central Park. Sun-drenched and super rare, this prewar home is perfectly situated on the finest Upper Westside block and rests near the top of one of Emory Roth's finest pieces of architecture. Equally well-suited to grand entertaining and exceptional private life, this apartment is a seamless combination providing approximately 5,000 square feet of living space on a single floor.

Two grandly-proportioned side by side living rooms provide the home with copious living space and a modern, lofty feel. The entertaining space flows through a grand gallery to one of the Westside's largest kitchens and a full-sized dining room. There are two separate bedroom wings. Each bedroom wing features an over-sized primary bedroom with an expansive dressing area and ensuite bath. The East bedroom wing has a primary bedroom with an adjacent office/bedroom and an additional generous bedroom. The West bedroom wing boasts a primary bedroom and bath as well as a second, generous bedroom. In total, there are 5-6 bedrooms each with it's own ensuite bath. Every room is elegantly proportioned. With twelve South-facing windows there are exceptional views day and night of Central Park, the Natural History Museum and the Midtown skyline. Of course, there is also a maid's room/office and a laundry room. Air conditioning is a combination of central and through the wall.

15 West 81st Street is a friendly, established full-service cooperative located just off Central Park West and across from the Museum of Natural History and the Rose Planetarium and Bull Moose Dog Run. The building amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, playroom, and separate storage rooms for owners. There is a full-time door staff and a live-in Superintendent. 50% financing permitted and a 2% flip tax payable by purchaser.

Central Park West | Manhattan

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.
