Description

SUNFILLED, UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS, QUIET..... and Location, Location, Location!

With light pouring into every room, this impeccable, split 2BR/2BTH home is in move-in condition and pin-drop quiet. Throughout are details that will surprise: motorized window treatments, high-end heated marble bathrooms (of which the primary is ADA compliant), induction/convection oven, customized closets... all combined to make this truly turnkey. The entrance gallery, a room in and of itself, leads to the dining area that can easily seat 12 and includes cabinetry consistent with the clean lines throughout. Straight ahead is the beautifully proportioned, nearly 14" wide, living room. Add to this the large windowed kitchen and the whole area becomes ideal for entertaining or just relaxing. Part of what makes the flow so smooth is the unusually generous split bedroom layout. The second bedroom is nearly as large as the primary, a quality that makes this home all the more desirable. 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 (with 3 Pelotons!), bike room, individual storage and central laundry room. Shareholders enjoy the benefit of significant monthly savings through low maintenance that includes utilities and cable, and low cost garage ($373 for shareholders!) easily accessible to and from the building.

is there any wonder this building is on the short list of so many?

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
