The Salem House, located at 520 East 81st Street, is a 12-story post-war condominium building constructed in 1964 and converted from rental units in 1980. The red-brick structure contains 163 units and is situated on a quiet, tree-lined block between York Avenue and East End Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side.
The building offers a range of apartment configurations, from alcove studios to one-bedroom units. Many apartments feature separate kitchens, hardwood floors, and ample closet space. A notable characteristic across units is the presence of large windows providing natural light, with views varying by exposure. The building's studios are particularly well-designed, with deep alcoves that can be partitioned for privacy.
Residents enjoy full-service amenities including 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities, and an on-site garage. The building's landscaped roof deck offers panoramic views of the city and East River. The Salem House maintains a pet policy allowing one dog up to 35 pounds per unit with condo approval.
The location provides convenient access to several neighborhood amenities including Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion, and the East River Promenade. While not immediately proximate to major subway lines, transportation options include the Q train and several bus routes, including crosstown service on 79th Street. The area is well-served by various shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions.
