Ang mansion na ito na nasa perpektong kondisyon na 40 talampakang lapad ay may isa sa pinakamalaking pribadong hardin sa Upper East Side ng Manhattan, isang pribadong garahe na may curb-cut at mga kahanga-hangang interior na kamakailan lamang ay muling ipinasadya ng kilalang kumpanya ng disenyo na Williams Lawrence. Matatagpuan sa isa sa pinakamagandang bloke ng townhouse sa kapitbahayan, ang 160 East 81st ay isang double-wide mansion na may pribadong garahe, isang elevator at isang landscaped na hardin na nakaharap sa Timog. Napapalibutan ng isang triple-width na bahay sa Kanluran at isang double-width na bahay sa Silangan, ang bahay ay napapaligiran ng malalawak na hardin, mababang gusali at bukas na kalangitan.

Maingat na ipinlano na may double height na mga espasyo na bumubukas sa hardin, isang sopistikadong library na may kahoy na panel at isang mezzanine, ang bahay na ito ay may magandang mainit na pakiramdam para sa pang-araw-araw na buhay pati na rin ang mga drama na espasyo para sa pagtanggap ng mga bisita. Apat na gas fireplace at isang wood burning fireplace ang tumutulong upang magbigay ng init sa tahanan.

Ang tunay na kusina ng chef ay bukas sa isang double-height na family room na may French doors na papunta sa hardin. Ang living room na nakaharap sa hardin, na may 20 talampakang kisame, ay parehong marangya at kaakit-akit, at isang pormal na dining room sa harap ng bahay ay kasalukuyang naka-configure bilang isang nakakaanyayang sitting room. Mayroon ding isang powder room na maingat na nakatago sa antas na ito, pati na rin ang direktang access sa pribadong garahe.

Ang hardin mismo ay 40 talampakang lapad at 48 talampakang lalim at nag-aalok ng bihirang pagtakas mula sa Lungsod. Sa pagpasok sa hardin, ang isang tao ay parang pumasok sa isang pribado, parke-katulad na oasis.

Ang ikalawang palapag ay nakatuon sa isang furnished mezzanine na nakatingin sa mga silid sa antas ng hardin. Ang flexible na espasyong ito ay angkop para sa mga drama na pagtanggap ng mga bisita. Sa palapag ding ito ay mayroon ding isang eleganteng antique English pine-paneled library na may mga bookcase mula sahig hanggang kisame at isang fireplace, pati na rin isang magandang guest bedroom na may ensuite bath.

Ang pangunahing kwarto sa ikatlong palapag ay umaabot sa buong lapad ng bahay at may tanawin sa hardin, na tumatanggap ng magagandang liwanag mula sa Timog sa buong araw. Sa malalaking closets at isang pangunahing banyo na may malaking walk-in na shower at malaking soaking tub, pati na rin dalawang vanities at isang hiwalay na water closet, ang suite ay may magagandang tanawin, isang fireplace at ganap na privacy. Sa harap ng bahay sa antas na ito ay may dalawang kwarto na nakaharap sa mga puno, parehong may ensuite baths, at isang shared study space. Mayroon ding isang napakalaking laundry room sa antas na ito.

Ang pinakamataas na palapag ng bahay ay may karagdagang tatlong kwarto na may magagandang tanawin, isang fireplace, isang malaking living / dining room at buong kusina. Ang palapag na ito ay ginamit noon bilang hiwalay na apartment at maaaring maabot alinman sa pamamagitan ng malaking hagdang-batong o mula sa harapang hagdang-buhat ng bahay nang hindi kailanman pumapasok sa pangunahing bahagi ng bahay.

This mint condition 40 foot wide mansion boasts one of the largest private gardens on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, a private garage with curb-cut and stunning interiors recently reimagined by renowned design firm Williams Lawrence. Located on one of the finest townhouse blocks in the neighborhood, 160 East 81st is a double-wide mansion with a private garage, an elevator and a landscaped South-facing garden. Situated with a triple-width house to the West and another double-width house to the East, the house is surrounded by vast gardens, low buildings and open sky.

Meticulously planned with double height spaces that open to the garden, a sophisticated wood-paneled library and a mezzanine, this house has a wonderful warm ease for everyday life as well as dramatic spaces for entertaining. Four gas fireplaces and one wood burning fireplace help bring warmth to the home.

A real chef's kitchen is open to a double-height family room with French doors leading to the garden. The garden-facing living room, also with 20 foot ceilings, is both grand and charming, and a formal dining room at the front of the house is currently configured as an inviting sitting room. There is also a powder room discreetly tucked away on this level, as well as direct access to the private garage.

The garden itself is 40 feet wide and 48 feet deep and offers a rare escape from the City.  Walking into the garden one feels as if one has entered a private, park-like oasis.

The second floor is anchored by a furnished mezzanine that overlooks the garden level rooms. This flexible space lends itself to dramatic entertaining.  On this floor there is also an elegant antique English pine-paneled library with floor-to-ceiling bookcases and a fireplace, as well as a lovely guest bedroom with ensuite bath.

The primary bedroom suite on the third floor stretches across the entire width of the house and overlooks the garden, receiving beautiful Southern light throughout the day. With generous closets and a primary bathroom with large walk-in shower and huge soaking tub, as well as two vanities and a separate water closet, the suite has beautiful views, a fireplace and complete privacy.

The top floor of the house has an additional three bedrooms with wonderful exposures, a fireplace, a large living / dining room and full kitchen. This floor has been used in the past as a separate apartment and can be reached either by the grand staircase or from the front stoop of the house without ever entering into the main part of the house.
