About This Home
Rarely Available Classic Six at 15 West 81st Street. A Timeless Upper West Side Treasure!
You'll love your new home from the moment you enter into the elegance of a bygone era in this Emery Roth co-op building. One of the hallmarks of this building is its Italian Neo-Renaissance style lobby with a fountain, magnificent marble, stained glass windows and architectural details. Just imagine this Classic 6, nestled in the heart of the Upper West Side. An exceptional blend of Old World charm, grand scale rooms and luminous light, with a storied history that mirrors the architectural grace of its surroundings.
Follow me into your 24-foot gallery where you and your guests will be greeted with soaring ceilings over 9' high and an unmistakable sense of grandeur. A gracious 27' x 16' living room with original herringbone floors and a 17' x 17' formal dining room provide expansive space for both living and entertaining. Light floods through oversized windows, including three in the main living area, offering quiet and serene north facing views over classic brownstones and city views.
The windowed eat-in kitchen offers an abundance of space including your own full size washer/dryer, a rare luxury in a prewar home. Adjacent to the kitchen is a convertible room with full en-suite windowed bath.
Your primary bedroom suite offers a 23' x 13' bedroom complete with two walk-in closets, a separate windowed dressing room and an en-suite bathroom featuring both a soaking tub and a separate shower. The second bedroom 16' x 14' offers double closets and an en-suite bathroom.
In estate condition you have a blank canvas to craft your dream residence by allowing you to put your own signature on this fine home.
Privacy awaits with only two apartments per landing and mail delivered to your door. 15 West 81st Street is a historic landmark white glove cooperative with impeccable service, two doormen, a resident manager, and a dedicated staff. Modern building amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, children's playroom, and private storage. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of New York's architectural legacy located on one of the most sought after blocks just off Central Park West and across the street from the Museum of Natural History and the Planetarium. 50% financing permitted and a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser.
