CENTRAL PARK WEST PRE-WAR GLAMOUR!

This extraordinary triple mint, six room home in The Prasada features two spectacular entertaining rooms spanning nearly fifty feet on the Park with eight windows and unparalleled views. Newly renovated, this rarely available apartment is custom built with exceptional features including elegant molding and millwork, stenciled hardwood floors, central air conditioning with three zones, marble kitchen and bathrooms, and an abundance of custom closets. No detail has been overlooked, right down to the light switches discreetly hidden behind panels in all major rooms. Decorated by an Architectural Digest 100 interior designer, the apartment has been published in multiple books and magazines. Its classic detailed finishes and modern layout create a home that is as chic and impressive as it is warm and livable.

The large paneled entry foyer sets the stage for this stunning home. It opens directly onto the grand living room with five windows on the Park. Adjacent is the library featuring a coffered ceiling and a Park view bay window large enough for tete a tete dining. These two grand entertaining rooms provide nearly 50 feet of Central Park frontage overlooking the treetops and dramatic skyline. On the opposite side of the foyer is the formal dining room in paneled cerused oak of the highest quality millwork. A hall leads from the foyer to the stunning powder room and bar with icemaker and wine cooler. Beyond the bar is the kitchen featuring extra height custom cabinetry, marble countertops and high-end appliances including an 8 burner dual fuel Wolf range.

Originally a three bedroom, the apartment is currently configured as a luxurious one bedroom with a dressing room/office, yet it can easily be converted into a two bedroom that retains the dressing room/office. The apartment features unmatched closets and storage space and in unit washer/dryer. Ceilings heights are 10’ in all major rooms including the kitchen.
