Building Description

163 East 81st Street is a residential co-op built in 1927. It is nine stories tall and has 42 units, and is located on the Upper East Side. It was converted to a co-op in 1947. In its modern incorporation, it has a 24-hour doorman and a live-in super. There is a laundry room as well as a common storage room. There are two penthouse apartments that have large terraces that extend off the back side of the building. The apartments feature several touches that harken back to an earlier era, including wood-burning fireplaces, pre-war moldings, and high-beam ceilings. The tree-lined Lexington Avenue is a perfect walk-up vision for this property.

Public transportation is a snap - there are two subway stations within a quarter-mile - the one at 77th Street and the one at 86th Street, both servicing the green line. The nearest school is a few minutes' walk away - Public School 6 is located on East 81st Street just two-tenths of a mile away.
