15 W 81st St #4E New York City, NY 10024

Welcome to Residence 4E at 15 West 81st Street - a truly singular home where prewar elegance meets a flawless, triple-mint renovation that rivals the finest new development finishes. This extraordinary residence has been completely gut-renovated and thoughtfully reimagined, resulting in a home that feels both architecturally bold and effortlessly livable. A dramatic entrance gallery-stretching more than 24 feet-sets the tone immediately, outfitted with handcrafted solid wood cabinetry, custom lighting, and exceptional storage. This striking gallery guides you past a wall of bespoke walk-in closets with mirrored doors and into an expansive great room unlike anything typically found uptown in a prewar setting. Through a brilliant architectural reconfiguration, the living room was expanded into the former primary bedroom, capturing an additional eastern-facing window with views of Central Park. The result is a stunning, a nearly 30-foot corner great room with a loft-like feel, flooded with light and offering generous space for multiple seating areas as well as formal dining-perfect for both intimate evenings and elegant entertaining. This truly great room offers northern exposures with charming landmark brownstone views over West 82nd Street and a corner window to the east towards Central Park where you can enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee. At the opposite end of the gallery sits a beautifully designed eat-in kitchen, outfitted with solid wood, hand-painted St. Charles cabinetry and intelligently integrated storage that maximizes every inch. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range with vented hood, Miele convection oven/microwave, and Miele dishwasher. A chic bar area with dual wine refrigerators completes this entertainer's dream kitchen. The primary suite is nothing short of exceptional, offering quiet, sun-filled southern courtyard exposures and a dressing room worthy of a couture atelier. The spa-like primary bath features a luxurious blend of floor-to-ceiling marble and Caesarstone, a spacious walk-in shower, dual custom solid wood vanities, abundant storage, and indulgent heated floors. The second bedroom is discreetly positioned at the rear of the home, creating a serene retreat ideal for guests, a home office, or media room. A second full bath echoes the same refined palette of marble, ceramic tile, and Caesarstone. The former staff room has been seamlessly transformed into a dedicated office with a fully renovated bath and extensive custom storage. A separate laundry room with vented dryer is also conveniently located in this wing of the apartment. Additional features include central air conditioning, new windows, electric blinds, a fully integrated Sonos sound system with centralized controls, and comprehensive soundproofing throughout-creating a remarkably quiet, peaceful environment. 15 West 81st Street is a long-established, white-glove cooperative renowned for its exceptional service and premier location just off Central Park West, directly across from the American Museum of Natural History and the Planetarium. Residents enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, playroom, and private storage. Currently monthly assessment of $615 ending in December, 2026.
