This exceptional and rarely available south facing Classic Six residence at the iconic 15 West 81st Street offers a rare combination of grand proportions, beautiful natural light, and views of the Rose Planetarium and the American Museum of Natural History. Designed by renowned architect Emery Roth, this distinguished prewar home blends timeless architectural elegance with the comforts of modern living.

A gracious 23-foot entrance gallery introduces the home's impressive scale and classic layout. The expansive 27' x 16' living room is bathed in southern light through three oversized windows, framing picturesque views of the Planetarium. Original quarter-sawn oak floors, a decorative fire place, and elegant moldings preserve the character and craftsmanship of the building's prewar heritage.

The generously proportioned primary suite features a spacious dressing room with three large closets and a windowed primary bathroom. The second bedroom, measuring an impressive 18' x 12', features an oversized walk-in closet and access to a large adjacent bathroom, providing the comfort and privacy of a suite.

The windowed eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and access to a generously sized staff room which was originally a full bathroom, currently set up as a half bathroom and washer and dryer.

Built in 1930, 15 West 81st Street is one of the Upper West Side's most prestigious white-glove cooperatives, celebrated for its exceptional service, architectural distinction, and prime location directly across from the Museum of Natural History and moments from Central Park. Residents enjoy two doormen, a resident manager, and a dedicated staff of 17, along with a newly renovated fitness center, playroom, and bike storage. There are large storage cages available.

With its grand scale, extraordinary southern light, iconic views, and coveted address, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Manhattan's most distinguished prewar buildings.
