Description
As you enter, a grand 24-foot gallery welcomes you, connecting the spacious living room to the stately formal dining room. The living room, a generous 17 by 27-foot space, offers an unmatched backdrop of the city's iconic landmarks. The dining room, approximately 14 by 21 feet, is a haven for entertainers, complete with an oversized window that invites abundant natural light.
Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the expansive eat-in kitchen, which includes a sunny courtyard view, custom cabinetry, a cozy built-in banquette, and a suite of high-end appliances including a SubZero refrigerator, double wall oven, Bosch dishwasher, and a separate cooktop. Adjacent is a versatile space that can serve as a large staff room, a third bedroom, or an ideal home office, complemented by an en suite half bath.
The separate bedroom wing houses a palatial 13 by 23-foot primary suite with a dressing room, three walk-in closets, and an en suite bath showcasing impeccably preserved Emery Roth tiling, a luxurious deep cast iron soaking tub, and a separate shower stall. The suite is blessed with the same awe-inspiring views of the Museum, Planetarium, and Central Park.
A tranquil second bedroom presents a peaceful courtyard view, ample closet space, and a personal en suite bath adorned with timeless tiling and fixtures. This bath also serves as a convenient guest powder room with hallway access.
The residence is replete with new windows, through-the-wall air conditioning, abundant closet space, and exquisite pre-war details such as original herringbone floors, solid wood doors, and classic moldings—all in impeccable condition.
Nestled within a prestigious white-glove cooperative known for its exceptional service, 15 West 81st Street is a stone's throw from Central Park West, offering amenities such as 24/7 doormen, a dedicated resident manager, a team of 20 support staff, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and additional conveniences.
