15 West 81st St 4E

This gracious Emery Roth designed oversized six room home features a large entry gallery which opens up to a grand scale high ceilinged living room/drawing room. The living room proportions are reminescent of an earlier elegant era: this marvelous room is punctuated by three tall windows overlooking leafy trees, passers by and architectural details of houses across the street. One cannot help but be charmed. Off the gallery, the center hallway reveals a master suite with its own large dressing room and bath. Two windows in this room match the view of the living room while a third opens up to a view of Central Park. The second large bedroom is located on the other side of the hall which provides for privacy for occupants of both. The second bath is accessible from this room as well as from the hallway. The large dining room is almost a perfect square. This rare shape is perfect for entertaining formally and informally. A windowed kitchen, pantry, staff room and bath complete the very special layout of the floor plan. Apartment 4E was featured in Architectural Digest in the 1970s. It is a property for a discriminating buyer who will welcome the opportunity to both renovate it to their needs while considering restoring many of the beautiful elements and details of the original design.
