75 Central Park West, 12-A

Facing south and recipient of brilliant all day sunshine, Apartment 12A, in superb condition, heads the class of grand-scale, two bedroom, prewar residences in a celebrated white glove, landmark building at the most desirable location on Central Park West and historic West 67th Street. An intimate entrance vestibule opens onto a 14 foot foyer doubling as a generous dining area. The especially large living room with a wood-burning fireplace combined with its adjacent gallery provides a spectacular 30 feet of entertainment space. A beautifully detailed 18 foot eat-in kitchen fitted out with custom cabinetry, marble counters, top appliances, oak flooring and fine-tuned lighting completes the common area. An oversize master chamber is located in a separate wing on a sunny southwest corner, along with a large second bedroom. There are two full baths, one conveniently located in a hallway, high ceilings, myriad closets and attractive period detail. Other amenities include comprehensive full-time doorman/concierge service, bike and carriage rooms in the lobby and bin storage. It is no surprise that Rosario Candela, putatively the greatest architect of Manhattan apartment dwellings, designed 75 Central Park West in 1928 when his aesthetic for sumptuous “high-rise domesticity” reached a well-recognized apotheosis.
