1927 built

As the only rental building overlooking the American Museum of Natural History in the Upper West Side Historic District, 25 West 81st Street is next door to Central Park. Opened in 1927 and acquired by the Rudin family in 1940, this architectural gem was designed by Gronenberg & Leuchtag, a prestigious firm renowned for their prewar creations in New York City. Each spacious residence features soaring ceilings, elegant hardwood floors, and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light.
