120 EAST 81ST STREET, #15F

Upper East Side, Manhattan, NY 10028

Unequivocally, this is the New York apartment you've always dreamed of: a large, one-of-a-kind, 2BR/2BTH home withTWO LANDSCAPED TERRACES. Elegant, sophisticated, meticulously designed. These are words that come to mind the minute you open the door to the generous entrance gallery that includes two closets, one of which is cedar lined, and offers just the right lighting to convey space, warmth and welcome. Off to your right is a gorgeous living room with custom- built, full-wall walnut cabinetry and built-in spotlights to highlight art. The shape of this wall is unique in that it takes full advantage of the wall it shares with the kitchen which is hexagonal in shape. With openings from the entry and the dining area and walls that do not go up to the ceiling, the kitchen creates a loft-like feeling in the middle of the apartment. Easily accessible from here or from the living room is the dining area which can easily seat 10. Here too you will find access to the first terrace. With dimensions of 31' X 13'9", this terrace is big, beautiful and most important, usable. It is lovingly maintained and, regardless of the time of year, there are always seasonal plantings and year-round shrubs. This terrace is also accessible from the beautiful primary bedroom which includes generous built ins and an exquisite windowed bathroom. With two exposures, this room enjoys light streaming in from morning 'til night. The second bedroom, with additional, mint bathroom nearby, is currently used as a home-office/guest room and has a wall of custom-designed cabinetry. From this room, you can step out onto the second terrace which is west facing and offers unobstructed views of the Metropolitan Museum. Throughout the entire apartment, there is custom, full-length cabinetry under the windows that conceals air conditioners and deep shelves for storage. Likewise, there is in-wall wiring for tvs and lighting. This is a marvelous home in move-in condition with no detail overlooked. A must see.

120 East 81 Street is a long established, sought after cooperative and for good reason. It is: pet friendly, permits washer/dryers, has a fully equipped gym (including two Pelotons), bike room, individual storage and central laundry room. In addition, shareholders enjoy the benefit of significant monthly savings through low maintenance that includes utilities and cable. And, for shareholders, the low cost garage that is accessible to and from the building. Is there any wonder that this building is on the short list of so many ?
