Property Description
A rare opportunity to enjoy townhouse living with the full services of a white-glove building at 15 West 81st Street. Apartment 2D is an incredible 11-room duplex as originally crafted by Emery Roth with views of the Rose Planetarium and the Museum of Natural History. This masterpiece of a home is perfectly designed and impeccably renovated.
Enjoy the best of both worlds with a grand-scale classic apartment above a sprawling maisonette. Located on the 1st and 2nd floors of one of the Upper West Side’s most distinctive prewar cooperatives, this magnificent residence offers unparalleled grandeur, scale, and finishes. Resplendent with outstanding natural light streaming through the south-facing windows, the sprawling abode features a graceful layout and wonderful scale.
The 2nd floor is reached by a semi-private elevator landing where you are met with the more formal section of the residence with a grand scale classic six-room layout. A gracious marble-clad gallery with a stunning staircase connects both formal living areas. On the south end of the gallery is a lavish and sun-flooded living room measuring an impressive 16 by 28 feet. The living room offers stunning views from three large windows overlooking the Rose Planetarium and Theodore Roosevelt Park. This formal living space accommodates multiple seating areas, a baby grand piano, and a decorative fireplace.
On the north end of the gallery is the stately formal dining room measuring 14 by 18 feet providing a generous space for entertaining. The powder room is perfectly situated between the formal living and dining rooms.
The fully renovated, eat-in kitchen boasts a custom-built windowed banquette for casual meals and an additional large window with sunny courtyard views. No detail was overlooked in this chef’s dream with solid wood cabinetry throughout, rich stone counters and backsplash, and the best high-end appliances including a Viking range, an oversized SubZero fridge, a vented Miele hood, and a Miele dishwasher.
The primary suite is nothing short of astonishing with sunny southern exposures and a dressing room that accommodates the largest of wardrobes. The large en-suite bath features floor-to-ceiling marble, a double vanity, a huge walk-in rain shower, a deep soaking tub, and timeless brass fixtures.
The large second bedroom has been converted into a stunning library featuring rich, back-lit solid wood cabinetry, bookshelves, paneling, and tremendous storage. This cozy and comfortable room is the perfect oasis for quiet and solitude.
Descend the grand staircase to the maisonette level of the home with a convenient separate street-level entrance for true townhouse living. This lower level of the duplex features an expansive great room large enough for game tables, billiards, and more.
A cozy but generous screening room and temperature-controlled wine cellar provide the perfect setting for all-encompassing entertainment. The lower level of the residence also features three large bedrooms with renovated en-suite baths each boasting floor-to-ceiling marble and the best fixtures and finishes.
Additional notable features of this custom home include central AC, a separate laundry room, a staff bedroom with an en suite bath, a full Crestron system for all the AV and lights in the entire residence, solid oak floors, tall ceilings with recessed lighting, and elegant moldings.
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.
