Your move-in ready, designer quality and pin-drop quiet apartment with one bedroom, one bathroom, a combined W/D, and located on one of the most coveted UWS streets awaits you. This elevated 1st floor apartment (akin to a 2nd floor elevation) with high beamed ceilings was remodeled and renovated in 2018 by Fifield, Piaker and Elman Architects. The moment you walk in, you’re struck by the design elements. The beautiful, private entryway is outfitted with Phillip Jeffries wallpaper and Cedar & Moss overhead pendants. The thoughtfully designed extra-large living room invites you to relax at the stunning kitchen island, enjoy the large seating area, or cozy up by the window at the reading nook (which could be utilized as a dining area). The fresh, white kitchen with quartz counters and backsplash boasts white cabinets, dishwasher, stainless steel appliances and Rejuvenation lighting. The generous, quiet bedroom includes two separate closets and Rejuvenation lighting fixture. The bathroom is outfitted with School House lights, Waterworks sink and fixtures, a Restoration Hardware mirror and a gorgeous marble floor by Artistic Tile. 170 West 81st Street is a beautiful pre-war cooperative with an Art Deco lobby, located in the heart of the UWS near The American Museum of Natural History, Central Park, incredible dining and shopping, as well as subway and bus options. The building features a new spectacular roof deck where you can unwind from the bustle of the city, a live-in superintendent, elevator, laundry room, additional storage and bike storage (for a fee). Pets (one dog under 30 pounds), co-purchasing and buying for adult children allowed with board approval. Flip tax 2% (1% paid by seller and 1% paid by buyer).
