50 Central Park West, 4-C

Truly one of the most unique and beautiful buildings in Manhattan, the famed Prasada was built between 1905 and 1907 by Franklin and Samuel Haines. Also known as 50 Central Park West, the building is a wonderful example of Beaux Arts architecture, primely situated on Central Park West, between 64th and 65th Streets.

This special home is an oversized 6 room with three large bedrooms, three full bathrooms, exceptional and grand living space and a wonderful cook's windowed eat-in kitchen. Having recently undergone a gut renovation, finished with a clean, classic decor, the apartment both exudes the grandeur and elegance sought after in a turn of the century home while offering every modern luxury.

Upon entering the apartment, one is met with a beautiful oval like gallery. From the gallery the exceptional curved hallway leads to the large living room and formal dining room, over 40 contiguous feet of entertaining space. Both have lovely views over the landmarked neighboring church and into Central Park. The original wood paneling of the dining room has been painted for a fresh and contemporary feel, yet there is still an original ornate mantel and a wonderful bay window with side views of the Park. The living room has custom cabinetry and bookshelves, and can feel cozy or grand, depending on the mood. The dream kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with a four burner Viking range with grill, oven and vented hood, a Pro 48 Sub-Zero Refrigerator, two dishwashers, an additional wall mounted oven and endless storage. The eat-in area has a full size vented washer/dryer, and a hidden home office. The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet and lots of built-in storage, as well as a new natural stone master bathroom with double sinks and a steam shower. Two additional bedrooms each have their own bathrooms, one en-suite, and the second just outside the room to double as a guest powder room bathroom as well.

The entire home has brand new windows, multi-zoned central air conditioning and is wired for sound. In addition, there are soaring over ten foot ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors.

50 Central Park West is a white glove, very well established cooperative since 1973. The full staff is impressive: a doorman, elevator operator, several porters, experienced handyman and a live in resident manager. Other amenities include private storage bins, bike room, modern exercise room and pets are permitted. Perfectly located in close proximity to Lincoln Center, the Time Warner Center, Carnegie Hall and the easiest transportation and best dining and shopping in the world!
