Private & Spacious
This 18-story boutique cooperative rarely has apartments for sale and is located on 81st Street between Park and Lexington avenues. The private-keyed elevator brings you to the 15th Floor, where you enter a full-floor apartment with an open floor plan boasting natural light from all four exposures.

Apartment Amenities
PH15 includes its own Miele washer/dryer, two planting terraces, custom built-in storage closets, an ensuite bath, powder room, video intercom system, two skylights, engineered hardwood floors, and private keyed elevator access.

Chefs Kitchen
The chef's island kitchen is equipped with a Liebher fridge, a Thermador dishwasher and 4-burner gas stove, lots of cabinet space, and its own skylight allowing for beautiful natural light. The kitchen is near the balcony, perfect for those who love to have their morning espresso outdoors with a view.

Rooms & Closets
The living room is oversized at 20ft in length with a generous 14.4ft width. It faces east and north, boasting light from its double exposures and multiple windows. The living room is also complimented by one of the residence's balconies.
The primary bedroom has southern and western exposures, large built-in closets, and it's ensuite windowed bath with heated bathroom floors and the residence's second skylight.
The second bedroom has its own closet, heating/cooling, and window. One could look into expanding the width of this bedroom as needed.

Location highlights include being only minutes away from Butterfield Market, Citarella, Eli’s, Whole Foods, JCC Moise Safra, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Central Park. Zoned for PS6.

Coop Rules

There is a video intercom and the resident staff accepts and delivers packages. All this at a relatively low maintenance. Brand new elevator cabin and complete mechanical overhaul (replaced in 2024).

All showings including open houses are by appointment only. Some pictures are virtually staged with furniture however they are representative of the residence's current condition.
