Description

ALL OPEN HOUSES ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO FOR MORE INFORMATION.

This one-of-a-kind eight-room home offers a long entry foyer, a sun-filled formal dining room, a windowed eat-in kitchen, and a staff room with a full bath that is perfect for a home office.

This seamless combination of a classic six and a one-bedroom gives the new owner a separate wing with two sunny bedrooms with full baths.

The large living room and den are next to each other and could easily be opened. The very private and peaceful primary suite is off those rooms and has a huge bathroom and great closets.

Additional features of this sprawling home are herringbone floors, through-wall AC, and a washer/dryer.

140 East 81 is an elegant prewar beauty with a doorman, gym, bike racks, storage and laundry rooms, a backyard garden for residents, and a live-in resident manager.

It's located on a lovely, tree-lined street in the heart of the Upper East Side. There is parking across the street, and great shopping, restaurants, and convenient transportation are just a few blocks away.

75% financing is allowed and pied-a-terres on a case-by-case basis.

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.
