About this home
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.
