Property Description for 257 Central Park West, 10-E

FLAWLESS, MINT CONDITION, 2 BEDROOM/2 BATH ON CPW. MUST SEE!!!

First showing at Open House on 2/26/17.

Rarely does one see the perfect, high-floor, 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment right on Central Park West. Sumptuously designed, this well-proportioned, light-filled home has three exposures, including peeks at the Central Park reservoir from the living room and second bedroom. With brilliant north and west views, the large corner living room conveys an open yet elegant feeling, perfect for relaxing and dining. A lovely master bedroom with renovated en suite bath has divine open southern exposures and two large built-in custom closets. A versatile, spacious second bedroom, also with open exposures and custom closets, is currently configured as an office/guest room. The conveniently located second full bath serves either the second bedroom or as a guest powder room.

The tastefully renovated windowed kitchen has custom cabinetry, solid granite counter tops, top-of-the-line stainless appliances and built-in washer/dryer. The central HVAC, which keeps the windows clear of separate units, and the Cat 5 ethernet cable wired throughout are superb extras. This convivial, inviting space in a prime CPW location is a true treasure!

The Orwell House is a highly coveted, prewar doorman building, with recently renovated lobby and hallways and common laundry, bike room, children's playroom, and cage storage (wait list). Its pet-friendly policy and location make it perfect for enjoying all that Central Park has to offer. Close to transportation and all the delights of the Upper West Side.

Central Park West | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Home to some of New York City’s most famous buildings like The Dakota, with its enchanting architecture, and the equally impressive San Remo just a couple streets away, Central Park West is one of the most eye-popping neighborhoods to live in. 

It is historically renowned for its blending of architecture and residential living. So much so, that it earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is thought to have some of the most diverse and beautiful skylines in all of New York and has drawn celebrity residents for decades

If world-class architecture isn’t enough for you, there are plenty of warm brownstones to be found as well. There is so much to do in Central Park West, the most obvious being in the name of the neighborhood itself. With Central Park running the length of one of its borders, there’s easy access to the park and all its wonders, running trails, row boats, and bridges. If you prefer the indoors, the American Museum of Natural History is at your service. 

There are few places in the world that can match Central Park West’s varied combination of urban and residential charm, elegance, and spirit.
