Lovely and sun-splashed, this classic-6 home is ready for you to move right in! Your wide open southern exposure along with a handsome wood-burning fireplace make the living room a delight - no matter what the season. With an elegant layout, 9A is as gracious as it is flexible. The dining room is perfectly situated to be easily transformed into a generous third bedroom, and the expansive foyer would still provide enough space for a gracious dining area. The apartment is in great shape with beautiful wood floors, newly renovated baths and a kitchen with high-end appliances. The original staff room has the potential to be combined with the kitchen, if desired. The half-bath functions as a powder room, and also houses the washer/dryer. 163 E 81st is on a particularly charming block with immaculate brownstones across the tree-lined street. The building has a bike room, laundry room and the apartment has a locked shelving unit in the basement for storage. Pets and pied-terre use is welcomed! Please contact me for a private appointment.
