15 West 81st St. #8G

Emory Roth’s Best Classic Five. Roth left a remarkable legacy: an eclectic mix of Italian, French and Spanish renaissance architecture. 15 West 81st St. blends limestone, brick and terra cotta materials into an old-world charming residential building. This home shows off his sophisticated understanding of grand scale rooms and layout. Roth’s signature details are high ceilings, herringbone floors and beautiful tile baths. Here the floors are meticulously preserved, and the pristine original baths have the tiles in the same condition as they were originally laid. New windows that overlook romantic brownstones for several streets, bring in surprising light. Thru wall a/c and the washer/dryer are conveniently located. The only room that would welcome a modern touch is the windowed kitchen and butler’s pantry. Contemporary amenities feature: a magnificent gym, play room and full service staff. A pet-friendly, well-managed building with excellent financials sets the high standard of this established cooperative.
