About This Home

Elegant Prewar Living with Sunlight, Style & Space - Fully Renovated 3BR on the Upper East Side!

Welcome to Apartment 7A at 140 East 81st Street - a beautifully renovated, light-filled three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the very heart of the Upper East Side. Perched on a high floor of a charming prewar building, this turnkey residence blends timeless elegance with a fresh, modern aesthetic, thoughtfully and recently redesigned by Emily C. Butler.

Step inside a gracious foyer that opens into a sun-splashed living space with classic hardwood floors and lofty ceilings. The expansive living room, measuring 21" x 13', features a custom-built media and storage unit that pairs functionality with sleek design. Adjacent, the formal dining area is anchored by a cozy banquette - perfect for intimate dinners or lively gatherings.

The windowed, open-concept kitchen is a true showstopper - recently renovated with marble countertops, tiled backsplash, and high-end appliances including a gas range, full-size refrigerator, retractable microwave, and wine cooler. A breakfast bar adds to the flow and makes casual dining a joy.

The serene primary suite enjoys two exposures (South and West), a large closet, and a windowed en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms offer CitiQuiet windows, generous closets, and thoughtful upgrades like blackout shades and curtains - ensuring comfort and quietude at any hour.

With three exposures and an inviting sense of volume, thanks to high end design, this home is a one of one!
140 East 81st is a full-service prewar cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, fitness center, residents" garden, laundry room, bike room, private storage, and a rare prewar luxury: an elevator.

All of this just three blocks from Central Park and the Met, surrounded by top-tier restaurants, boutiques, and convenient subway lines including the 4/5/6 and Q. The tranquil, tree-lined block offers the perfect balance of serenity and city living - where morning runs through the park meet evenings at your favorite neighborhood bistro.
