Description

UNIQUE OFFERING: ONLY 3 APARTMENTS LIKE IT IN THE BUILDING! This is the largest floorplan at 120 East 81st Street -a gracious and sunny apartment featuring 4 generous bedrooms, plus a 5th small bedroom/staff room and four full bathrooms.

Enter through the foyer of this sprawling space into a proper gallery from which all the rooms emanate. The apartment has freshly refinished hardwood floors that immediately catch your eye, a bright eastward-facing living room with nice morning sunlight and a charming decorative fireplace mantle.

The primary bedroom suite has its own private hallway lined with closets, and a bay window with views of Lexington Avenue and All Souls Church across the street. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are located off a separated hallway and each face west, with nice afternoon sun and great closet space. Beside the living room is a library, with wood built-ins and its own bathroom ensuite.

While currently being used as a library, the room could make a fourth bedroom or guest room.

The formal dining room off the gallery is a great place to entertain, with entry to a sizable kitchen. The bathrooms and kitchen require some updating but the kitchen is large enough to accommodate a nice eat-in area. Currently there are two refrigerators and the washer/dryer has been grandfathered to the apartment.

Behind the kitchen is the quiet, south-facing staff room with its own full bathroom. The apartment also has through-wall AC units throughout.

Please note: the hallways and lobby are currently being redone for the new buyer to enjoy!
