Whether entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply enjoying a quiet escape, the landscaped garden serves as a natural extension of the living space.

The open-concept living and dining area is complemented by a beautifully appointed Pedini kitchen featuring Petra Grigio quartz surfaces, an Absolute Blanc Vadara peninsula, and a suite of premium appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, and Summit.

The lower level offers a spacious recreation room with direct garden access, a powder room, Bosch washer and dryer, and versatile space ideal for a media room, home office, gym, or guest suite.

The primary suite features a spa-inspired bath with radiant heated floors, Arabescato marble, and custom finishes, while secondary baths are equally refined with carefully selected stone and porcelain materials.

Designed by acclaimed architect Andres Escobar, this intimate six-residence condominium blends contemporary design with timeless craftsmanship. With a virtual doorman and thoughtfully curated interiors, this home offers a rare opportunity for sophisticated indoor-outdoor living in one of the Upper East Side's most sought-after locations.

Sales data through July 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

## Property Tax History

Taxes at 318 East 81st Street #1 were $52,384 in 2026, up 8.0% from 2025.

| Year | Tax Assessment | Land | Additions | Billable Value | Property Tax | Tax Rate |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 (FY 2026/27) | $574,900 | $79,659 | $495,241 | $419,069 | $52,384 | 12.5% (estimated) |
| 2025 (FY 2025/26) | $479,069 | $79,659 | $399,410 | $388,027 | $48,503 | 12.5% (estimated) |
| 2024 (FY 2024/25) | $399,204 | $79,659 | $319,545 | $359,284 | $44,911 | 12.5% |
| 2023 (FY 2023/24) | $332,670 | $79,659 | $253,011 | $332,670 | $41,590 | 12.502% |

| 2021 (FY 2021/22) | $352,793 | $79,659 | $273,134 | $352,793 | $43,164 | 12.235% |
| 2020 (FY 2020/21) | $364,158 | $79,659 | $284,499 | $364,158 | $44,671 | 12.267% |

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1015431501. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
