About This Home
A PREWAR GEM!
Situated on a high floor with three open exposures, this tranquil 2-bedroom residence has extraordinary light and city views. The only sound you are likely to hear when you open one of the 11 windows is bird song from the townhouse gardens below.
Apartment 12E is entered through a gracious foyer that leads to a well-proportioned living room. There are two large bedrooms, both with excellent closet space, and they share an adjoining full bathroom. A second half bathroom is located off the kitchen. There is room for a dining area in the spacious kitchen which has a separate service entrance.
There are 9'4" beamed ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, and picture moldings throughout.
140 East 81st Street is a coveted 1928 full-service cooperative on the corner of Lexington Avenue on a charming tree-lined street. It is in a prime Upper East Side location convenient to transportation, shops, fine restaurants, museums and Central Park.
The building is known for its low monthly maintenance, and it features a gym and a garden, as well as laundry, bike and storage rooms. Washer/dryer and pets (one dog per apartment) allowed, pieds-a-terre and subletting permitted (ask for details).
