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

An exceptional, triple-mint 3 bedroom/3 bath residence at 15 West 81st Street with sunny southern views of the Museum of Natural History, Rose Planetarium, and Roosevelt Park. Nothing currently on the market can compare with this caliber of renovation. This grand-scale six-room was recently gut renovated and architecturally reimagined creating a perfect 3 bedroom & 3 full bath home. A gracious entrance gallery connects both primary living areas. To the south, the grand-scale living room features a working fireplace and 3 oversized windows with magical views of the Museum, Park, and Planetarium. The living room is large enough to accommodate multiple seating areas, a baby grand piano, and custom seating with hidden storage providing a front-row seat for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! The formal dining room is located on the opposite end of the gallery providing a generous space for formal and casual dining. The kitchen is simply spectacular boasting two large windows with sunny courtyard views. Built by Bulthaup with no detail overlooked this wonderful eat-in features a sumptuous solid oak dining bar, signature Bulthaup cabinetry throughout with the best appliances including a six-burner Wolf range and hood, a SubZero fridge with additional beverage drawers, a large SubZero wine cooler, a Miele dishwasher, and a Miele combined convection microwave and a built-in Miele coffee machine for the barista in the household. The large primary bedroom suite is nothing short of astonishing with sunny southern exposures and a dressing room that rivals anything you can find at a fashion house and a primary bath to rival any top spa. The large en-suite bath features a floor-to-ceiling Helsinki marble with a huge walk-in rain shower and storage galore created by a custom vanity with Dornbracht fixtures, sharp glass shelving, and topped off with a freestanding oversized deep soaking tub. The large second bedroom is a quiet oasis for guests or family. The second full bath is both en-suite and accessible from the living space doubling as a powder room. This bath is adorned with floor-to-ceiling Carrara marble and the best finishes including Dornbracht fixtures. The third bedroom is truly versatile providing the perfect den or media room, home office, guest room, or all of the above. Access this functional space from a separate bedroom wing hallway or through gorgeous custom solid wood and glass doors in the dining room. This room features large windows with quiet courtyard views and a beautifully renovated en-suite bath adorned with floor-to-ceiling Statuary marble and a large walk-in rain shower. Other features of this masterpiece include architecturally designed ceilings and custom cabinetry throughout, central AC, new windows, perfectly scaled and placed recessed lighting, brand new solid wood herringbone floors, a vented washer/dryer, an integrated home automation system for lighting, video, and sound with central controls in every room, and an abundance of custom-fitted closet space. The entire apartment has been soundproofed offering you a pin-drop quiet environment with gorgeous and quintessential landmark views of the Museum and Planetarium. 15 West 81st Street is a well-established, white-glove cooperative with a reputation for stellar service and located on one of the most sought-after blocks in Manhattan just off Central Park West and across from the Museum of Natural History and the Rose Planetarium. Modern building amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, playroom, and separate storage rooms for owners. 50% financing permitted and a 2% flip tax payable by the 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.
