Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by The Agency Brokerage.
The apartment takes up an entire floor at 157 E 81st Street, and a private elevator vestibule opens straight into it. The main living room runs 60 feet and has south-facing French doors, so the length of the room is the first thing you notice.
Four bedrooms and three bathrooms fill 4,000 square feet, and the listing notes room for a fifth bedroom. Walk-in closets and abundant storage help a home this size work day to day, and that matters more when the square footage is this large.
The eat-in kitchen is built for real cooking, with a Viking stove, a brand new Sub Zero refrigerator and granite countertops. Having the kitchen table right in the kitchen means everyday meals don't have to happen in the formal rooms.
Coffered ceilings and refinished herringbone oak floors give the rooms their character. There are two fireplaces, one wood-burning and one gas, and two-zone central air conditioning can be controlled from your phone.
Pets are allowed.
