About
Built in 1886, 135 West 81st Street is an extraordinary 20-foot-wide townhouse that seamlessly combines the character of New York's Gilded Age with the comfort and reliability of modern living. One of the most recognizable homes on the block, its distinctive façade reflects an eclectic blend of late nineteenth-century architectural styles, highlighted by an elegant Juliet balcony, ornate detailing, and monumental carved oak entry doors with striking green glass portholes.

Sandwiched between two beautiful parks, the Upper West Side is one of the greenest spots in Manhattan. For that reason, it is a perennial favorite. The Upper West Side is relaxed, but never dull. There are plenty of low-key bars and restaurants to frequent along Amsterdam Avenue, and Broadway is an always-bustling commercial center. The wide, tree-lined streets still boast many mom-and-pop stores. Less posh than the Upper East Side, it is more easily accessible by public transportation, and real estate prices are just as, if not more, expensive.
