271 Central Park West, 2-W

This gracious apartment, built as a "Classic 8," has large well-proportioned rooms, grand 10-foot-plus ceilings, original pre-war details, and generously sized closets throughout. Ideal for entertaining, the once separate living and dining rooms are combined as one expansive space, with lovely south light and side views of Central Park and the tree-lined street. Adjacent is the library/family room, which also faces south. There is an unusually spacious eat-in kitchen, plus a laundry room/home office and half bath. The sizable corner master bedroom, with en-suite windowed bath, enjoys south and west light. Two additional bedrooms, one facing west, the other west and north, offer quiet privacy and share a windowed bath. If desired, this home could be reconfigured to accommodate four bedrooms and three full baths. A large, individual storage bin as well as bicycle space are included. 271 Central Park West, built in 1912, was designed by architects Schwartz & Gross. This elegant, full-service coop has a beautiful lobby and just two apartments per floor. There is a 24-hour attended elevator and live-in resident manager. Pets are welcome. A gym is in the planning stages. Showing exclusively by appointment.
