Iconic Upper East Side living awaits in this gut-renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom co-op less than three blocks from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Thoughtful customizations and design features adorn spacious, sun-splashed interiors with brand new oak floors, oversized windows with motorized blinds, and 3 generously proportioned walk-in closets that were configured into this updated modern layout you won't find in any other unit. Residents enter an expansive open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen imbued with natural light. The dining area has cove lighting and stylish Philip Jeffries wallpaper. The kitchen boasts an eat-in waterfall island, sleek quartz countertops, custom shaker-style wood cabinetry, and high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. The primary suite features huge separate couples' walk-in closets-one with plush Stark carpeting-and a pair of custom workstations perfect for today's work-from-home lifestyle. There is also a spa-like en-suite bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tilework, Kohler fixtures, Duravit sinks, and a Toto toilet. The second bedroom has its own walk-in closet and can easily be used as a home office. It features a built-in bench nook by the windows, bookshelves, and lovely millwork. Additional highlights include a central utility closet with in-wall wiring, and an in-unit washer and dryer from Bosch that sits conveniently across from a separate laundry closet. New hallways and lobby renovations were recently completed in June 2024 and further compliment all of the modern upgrades this unit has to offer. 120 East 81st Street is a full-service co-op with a private gym, on-site parking at a significantly reduced rate, a bicycle room, a live-in super, full-time door attendants, and private storage. Monthly fees include cable and electric. The building is close to a wide range of restaurants, bars, cafes, galleries, and shops like Levain Bakery, Flex Mussels, HUSO, and Aesop. Museum Mile, Central Park, The Met, and The Guggenheim are all nearby. Accessible subway lines include the 4, 5, 6, and Q. Pets are welcome. There is an assessment of $533 which expires on 12/31/2024.
