15 W 81st St #11H, New York, NY 10024

A renovated, high-floor 4.5 room residence at 15 West 81st Street, one of the top white-glove pre-war cooperatives on the Upper West Side, Apartment 11H is a truly rare find. With multiple exposures and stunning natural light from every room, the home is bathed in brightness throughout the day. The owners have artfully blended a stylish, sophisticated mid-century modern design with high-end finishes, all perfectly integrated with period details. Upon entering the home, you’re welcomed by a gracious foyer that flows seamlessly from the grand-scale living room to the dining room. Modern wall-to-wall carpeting was intentionally chosen to evoke an authentic mid-century aesthetic, while perfectly restored hardwood floors lie beneath, should the next owner prefer a different finish. The foyer leads into a grandly proportioned 16' x 24' living room featuring three oversized windows that highlight beautiful northern exposures and iconic, open Upper West Side views. This space easily accommodates both formal dining and generous entertaining. The newly renovated, windowed kitchen is outfitted with custom lacquered cabinetry, frosted glass fronts, Silestone countertops, and a handsome tile backsplash. The new appliance package includes a Fisher & Paykel side-by-side refrigerator, a Bosch oven and cooktop, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Bosch convection microwave. The corner primary suite boasts three large windows with sunny open views to the north and west — even offering a peek of the Hudson River. The wall-to-wall carpeting continues into the sleeping quarters and a generously sized dressing room lined with a walk-in cedar closet, additional custom closets, and an in-unit washer/dryer. The en-suite, windowed bath is richly appointed with floor-to-ceiling marble, a striking checkerboard marble ceiling inlay, a deep soaking tub, a classic pedestal sink, and top-tier fixtures and finishes. The second bedroom is equally generous, offering an oversized window with sunny southern courtyard views and a large walk-in closet. Its en-suite bath features beautifully preserved original tiles laid by Emery Roth — a hallmark of only a select few Upper West Side buildings. Additional features include stunning Venetian plaster walls in the living room, new windows, through-the-wall air conditioning, recessed lighting in the kitchen, custom closets throughout, and a built-in audio-visual system. 15 West 81st Street is a distinguished white-glove cooperative known for exceptional service. Situated on one of the most desirable blocks in Manhattan, just off Central Park West and across from the Museum of Natural History and the Rose Planetarium, the building offers unmatched convenience and prestige. Modern amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, playroom, and separate storage rooms for shareholders. 50% financing permitted. A 2% flip tax is payable by the purchaser.
