Property Description for 215 East 81st Street, 2-A
215 East 81st Street, 2A Upper East Side
This tastefully renovated and charming one bedroom, one bathroom offers an incredible opportunity to purchase a condo in prime Upper East Side. No board approval needed, no rental restrictions, and the ability to deduct 100% of the mortgage interest makes this apartment perfect for anyone looking for a first home, pied-a-terre, or an investment property.
The apartment is one of the few layouts in the building that is not a duplex, giving you the benefit of your entire apartment being on a single floor. The floorplan is well laid out, and fully utilizes all of the space available. The open kitchen features custom cabinets and top-of the line appliances, including a Viking range, Subzero fridge, and Bosch dishwasher. The soft grey tones of the backsplash, stone counter tops, and tiled floor compliment the custom cabinets, while the breakfast bar maximizes counter space.
The spacious living room is accented by the two south-facing windows, providing consistent light throughout the day; creating a bright, welcoming space to entertain in. There are two additional windows in the bedroom, and an enormous walk-in closet with custom built-ins and full-sized, vented washer and dryer. The renovated bathroom features a modern vanity for storage, and tasteful grey color pallet. Lastly, HVAC cooling and heating gives you the flexibility to regulate the temperature of each room individually.
215 East 81st Street is a boutique condominium along a tranquil, tree-lined street in the heart of the Upper East Side. The building features: Doorman & Concierge Service, Live-in Resident Manager, Common Outdoor Landscaped Garden, Laundry Room, Designer Lobby & Mail Room. This building is conveniently located close to all of the most sought-after neighborhood amenities. Fantastic restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping are all within a couple blocks of the Duplex Condominiums, and access to public transportation is now easier than ever with the opening of the 2nd Avenue Subway.

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.
