An exceptional, triple-mint 3 bedroom/3 bath residence at 15 West 81st Street with sunny southern views of the Museum of Natural History, Rose Planetarium, and Roosevelt Park. Nothing currently on the market can compare with this caliber of renovation. This grand-scale six-room was recently gut renovated and architecturally reimagined creating a perfect 3 bedroom & 3 full bath home. A gracious entrance gallery connects both primary living areas. To the south, the grand-scale living room features a working fireplace and 3 oversized windows with magical views of the Museum, Park, and Planetarium. The living room is large enough to accommodate multiple seating areas, a baby grand piano, and custom seating with hidden storage providing a front-row seat for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! The formal dining room is located on the opposite end of the gallery providing a generous space for formal and casual dining. The kitchen is simply spectacular boasting two large windows with sunny courtyard views.

The large primary bedroom suite is nothing short of astonishing with sunny southern exposures and a dressing room that rivals anything you can find at a fashion house and a primary bath to rival any top spa. The large en-suite bath features a floor-to-ceiling Helsinki marble with a huge walk-in rain shower and storage galore created by a custom vanity with Dornbracht fixtures, sharp glass shelving, and topped off with a freestanding oversized deep soaking tub. The large second bedroom is a quiet oasis for guests or family. The second full bath is both en-suite and accessible from the living space doubling as a powder room.
