Maligayang pagdating sa Residence 4E sa 15 West 81st Street — isang talagang natatanging tahanan kung saan ang prewar na karangyaan ay nakakatagpo ng isang walang kapintasan, triple-mint na pagbabago na rival ang pinakamatataas na bagong pag-unlad na finishes.

Ang pambihirang tirahang ito ay ganap na na-renovate at maingat na naisip muli, na nagresulta sa isang tahanan na tila parehong matatas na arkitektura at madaliang tirahan.

Isang dramatikong entrance gallery—na umaabot ng higit sa 24 talampakan—ang agad na nagtatakda ng tono, na nilagyan ng mga handcrafted na solid wood cabinetry, custom na ilaw, at pambihirang imbakan. Ang kapansin-pansing galeryang ito ay naggagabay sa iyo sa isang pader ng mga bespoke walk-in closet na may mirrored doors at papasok sa isang malawak na great room na walang kaparis sa mga karaniwang matatagpuan sa uptown sa isang prewar setting.

Sa pamamagitan ng isang brilliant na pagsasaayos ng arkitektura, ang living room ay pinalawak sa dating pangunahing silid-tulugan, na nakakakuha ng karagdagang bintana na nakaharap sa silangan na may tanawin ng Central Park. Ang resulta ay isang nakakabighaning, halos 30-talampakang corner great room na may loft-like na pakiramdam, na binabaha ng liwanag at nag-aalok ng malaking espasyo para sa maramihang mga seating area pati na rin ang pormal na dining—perpekto para sa mga intimate na gabi at eleganteng pagtanggap. Ang talagang magandang silid na ito ay nag-aalok ng hilagang mga eksposisyon na may kaakit-akit na landmark brownstone views sa West 82nd Street at isang corner window sa silangan patungo sa Central Park kung saan maaari mong tamasahin ang bukang-liwayway kasama ang iyong umagang kape.

Sa kabilang dulo ng gallery ay nakatayo ang isang magandang disenyo ng eat-in kitchen, nilagyan ng solid wood, hand-painted na St. Charles cabinetry at matalino na integrated storage na nag-maximize sa bawat pulgada. Ang mga top-of-the-line appliances ay kinabibilangan ng Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range na may vented hood, Miele convection oven/microwave, at Miele dishwasher. Isang chic bar area na may dual wine refrigerators ang kumukumpleto sa pangarap na kusina na ito ng mga entertainer.

Ang pangunahing suite ay walang katumbas, nag-aalok ng tahimik, maaraw na southern courtyard exposures at isang dressing room na karapat-dapat sa isang couture atelier. Ang spa-like na pangunahing banyo ay nagtatampok ng maluho na halo ng floor-to-ceiling marble at Caesarstone, isang mal spacious na walk-in shower, dual custom solid wood vanities, maraming imbakan, at mga indulgent heated floors.

Ang pangalawang silid-tulugan ay maingat na nakapuwesto sa likod ng tahanan, na lumilikha ng isang tahimik na kanlungan na perpekto para sa mga bisita, isang home office, o media room. Ang pangalawang full bath ay sumasalamin sa parehong pinong paleta ng marble, ceramic tile, at Caesarstone.

Ang dating staff room ay tahasang na-transform sa isang nakalaang opisina na may ganap na na-renovate na banyo at malawak na custom storage. Isang hiwalay na laundry room na may vented dryer ay maginhawang matatagpuan din sa bahagi ng apartment na ito.

Ang iba pang mga tampok ay kinabibilangan ng central air conditioning, mga bagong bintana, electric blinds, isang ganap na integrated Sonos sound system na may centralized controls, at komprehensibong soundproofing sa buong bahay—na lumilikha ng isang kapansin-pansing tahimik at mapayapang kapaligiran.

Ang 15 West 81st Street ay isang matagal nang itinatag, white-glove cooperative na kilala para sa natatanging serbisyo nito at premier na lokasyon na hindi kalayuan mula sa Central Park West, sa tapat mismo ng American Museum of Natural History at ng Planetarium. Ang mga residente ay nasisiyahan sa isang state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, playroom, at pribadong imbakan.

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.
