Ang napakagandang kondisyon na mansyon na 40 talampakan ang lapad ay nagtatampok ng isa sa pinakamalaking pribadong hardin sa Upper East Side ng Manhattan, isang pribadong garahe na may curb-cut at nakakabighaning interiors na kamakailan lamang ay muling inisip ng kilalang design firm na Williams Lawrence. Matatagpuan sa isa sa pinakamagandang townhouse block sa lugar, ang 160 East 81st ay isang doble-lapad na mansyon na may pribadong garahe, isang elevator at isang landscaped na hardin na nakaharap sa Timog. Napapaligiran ng triple-lapad na bahay sa Kanluran at isa pang doble-lapad na bahay sa Silangan, ang bahay ay napapalibutan ng malalawak na hardin, mababang mga gusali at bukas na kalangitan.

Maingat na pinlano na may mga espasyong doble ang taas na nagbubukas sa hardin, isang sopistikadong library na may kahoy na panel at isang mezzanine, ang bahay na ito ay mayroong magandang mainit na pakiramdam para sa pang-araw-araw na buhay pati na rin ang dramatic na mga espasyo para sa pagtanggap ng bisita. Apat na gas fireplace at isang panggatong na fireplace ang tumutulong na magbigay ng init sa tahanan.

Isang tunay na kusina ng chef ay bukas sa isang pamilya na silid na dobleng taas na may French doors na humahantong sa hardin. Ang living room na nakaharap sa hardin, na may ceiling na 20 talampakan, ay parehong grand at kaakit-akit, at ang pormal na dining room sa harap ng bahay ay kasalukuyang naka-configure bilang isang nakaka-engganyong sitting room. Mayroon ding powder room na maingat na nakatago sa antas na ito, pati na rin ang direktang access sa pribadong garahe.

Ang hardin mismo ay 40 talampakan ang lapad at 48 talampakan ang lalim at nag-aalok ng isang pambihirang pagtakas mula sa Lungsod. Sa pagpasok sa hardin, parang pumasok ka sa isang pribado, park-like oasis.

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

Ang pangunahing suite ng silid-tulugan sa ikatlong palapag ay umaabot sa buong lapad ng bahay at nakatingin sa hardin, tumatanggap ng magandang liwanag mula sa Timog sa buong araw. Sa malalaking closets at isang pangunahing banyo na may malaking walk-in shower at napakalaking soaking tub, pati na rin ang dalawang vanity 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 mayroong dalawang silid-tulugan na nakaharap sa itaas ng mga puno, parehong may ensuite baths, at isang shared study space. Mayroon ding napakalaking laundry room sa antas na ito.

Ang itaas na palapag ng bahay ay may karagdagang tatlong silid-tulugan na may magagandang exposures, isang fireplace, isang malaking living/dining room at kumpletong kusina. Ang palapag na ito ay ginamit noong nakaraan bilang isang hiwalay na apartment at maaaring maabot mula sa grand staircase o mula sa front stoop 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.
