This home boasts sun-drenched views of the Museum of Natural History, the Rose Planetarium, and the expanse of Central Park, culminating in a breathtaking panorama of the Midtown skyline. Meticulously restored to honor the original design by Emery Roth, the residence features historical integrity in every detail—from the herringbone floors to the ornate moldings and robust hardware built to endure for centuries.

As you enter, a grand 24-foot gallery welcomes you, connecting the spacious living room to the stately formal dining room. The living room, a generous 17 by 27-foot space, offers an unmatched backdrop of the city's iconic landmarks. The dining room, approximately 14 by 21 feet, is a haven for entertainers, complete with an oversized window that invites abundant natural light.

Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the expansive eat-in kitchen, which includes a sunny courtyard view, custom cabinetry, a cozy built-in banquette, and a suite of high-end appliances including a SubZero refrigerator, double wall oven, Bosch dishwasher, and a separate cooktop. Adjacent is a versatile space that can serve as a large staff room, a third bedroom, or an ideal home office, complemented by an en suite half bath.

The separate bedroom wing houses a palatial 13 by 23-foot primary suite with a dressing room, three walk-in closets, and an en suite bath showcasing impeccably preserved Emery Roth tiling, a luxurious deep cast iron soaking tub, and a separate shower stall. The suite is blessed with the same awe-inspiring views of the Museum, Planetarium, and Central Park.

A tranquil second bedroom presents a peaceful courtyard view, ample closet space, and a personal en suite bath adorned with timeless tiling and fixtures. This bath also serves as a convenient guest powder room with hallway access.

The residence is replete with new windows, through-the-wall air conditioning, abundant closet space, and exquisite pre-war details such as original herringbone floors, solid wood doors, and classic moldings—all in impeccable condition.

Nestled within a prestigious white-glove cooperative known for its exceptional service, 15 West 81st Street is a stone's throw from Central Park West, offering amenities such as 24/7 doormen, a dedicated resident manager, a team of 20 support staff, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and additional conveniences.
