What's around 2b/11 W 81st St

About this property

This elegant 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home is situated in the historic, Beaux-Arts Hayden House on one of the most sought-after blocks on the Upper West Side, where residents enjoy a front row seat to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The apartment features classic prewar details including intricate moldings, original herringbone floors, and soaring 11' ceilings throughout. The entry foyer welcomes guests into the rare, light-filled grand entertaining room with original fireplace (now only decorative) and dramatic window boasting southern, unobstructed views overlooking the Rose Planetarium, Theodore Roosevelt Park, and Central Park. The windowed kitchen with granite counter tops and ample storage is compact, yet has everything necessary for cooking enthusiasts, and perfect for hosting social events. The guest bathroom, located along the hallway towards the bedroom suite, is in wonderful condition, and features coveted original, mid-century blue sink and toilet. The owner lightly renovated the space to feature minimal, Lutron dimming light switches, electrical outlets that include USB charging ports, state-of-the-art smart window shades by J. Geiger, and gut-renovated each of the five spacious storage closets designed by California Closets. The courtyard-facing bedroom is pin-drop quiet, and has windows connected with the J Geiger cables, in case the new owner would want to install architecturally minimal shades similar to the entrance or kitchen windows. The his-and-her closets on either side of the bed area, were both re-designed to optimize space. The en-suite main bathroom, complete with a window and a soaking tub also features original mid-century fixtures. This apartment is a rare find, with its soaring ceilings, southern exposures, and unusually generous storage spaces. It also transfers with a private storage cage in the basement. Built in 1908, the building is a historic, Beaux Art landmark, with a recently refurbished limestone facade and exquisitely renovated marble lobby. Converted to a co-op since 1976, the building has a flexible policy towards pets and pied- -terre, and allows for short-term rentals, pending board-approval. Amenities include a part-time doorman, a live-in super, a bike room, a storage room and a laundry room. There is 2% Flip Tax on buyer.
