Overview of The Justin at 225 East 81st Street

The Justin is a modern condominium located at 225 East 81st Street, featuring only five exclusive residences. Developed in 2015 by Michael Paul Enterprises and designed by Vail Associates, the building showcases a striking limestone façade complemented by elegant tall windows. The design emphasizes both contemporary aesthetics and the charm of townhouse living, making it a unique addition to the Upper East Side's architectural landscape.

Each apartment is equipped with high-end finishes, including coffered ceilings, wide plank radiant-heated white oak flooring, and full-height tilt-and-turn Kolby windows. The kitchens are outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances such as a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolf range, while bathrooms feature luxurious touches like Bianco Carrara marble and steam showers. Notably, the penthouse offers expansive private outdoor space, complete with a full outdoor kitchen and hot tub, making it one of the largest private terraces in the neighborhood.

Amenities at The Justin include a part-time doorman, a virtual doorman, a fitness center, and private storage for each unit. The building is pet-friendly, catering to a lifestyle that combines luxury with convenience. The residences range from three-bedroom full-floor units to a maisonette triplex, each designed to maximize space and light, ensuring a comfortable living experience.

The Justin's location on a tree-lined street enhances its appeal, providing residents with a serene urban environment while being close to the vibrant offerings of the Upper East Side. This boutique condominium stands out not only for its architectural elegance but also for its commitment to providing a sophisticated living experience.
