203 West 81st St. 9B

A quiet, top-floor three-bedroom in a classic Upper West Side pre-war condominium.

On the top floor of The Barrington, this fully gut-renovated home offers the best kind of city living: calm, comfortable, and beautifully connected to the neighborhood. Renovated by the owner with a clean, modern sensibility, the apartment balances the warmth of a pre-war building with the ease of a contemporary home.

The home feels bright and considered, with white oak herringbone flooring, soft neutral finishes, and a practical three-bedroom, two-bath layout. The open kitchen is centered around a custom island, with integrated storage, Miele appliances, and a double-door Liebherr refrigerator. An in-unit Miele washer and dryer add everyday convenience.

The apartment is fitted with Skyline windows for added sound and temperature insulation, while its top-floor position means no neighbors above. Located on a prime West 81st Street block and zoned for PS 9 Sarah Anderson, a highly sought-after Upper West Side elementary school, this is a rare turnkey home in a neighborhood people rarely want to leave.
