370 Central Park West, 602

This wondrous and distinct, loft-like, pre-war, 2 bedroom (convertible 3), 2 bath home comes to market for the first time in 45 years and has been lovingly renovated to bring to mind an elegant palazzo. Its one-of-a-kind, spacious layout with triple exposures and classic detail truly must be seen to be appreciated.

A magnificent and endless entry hallway with imported Italian marble flooring immediately conjures a dramatic, European villa. Ascend the mini-stairs to the grand and glorious 25' living room with soaring 14' ceilings, original oak floors and huge windows welcoming beautiful Southern light. A majestic, wood-burning fireplace, framed by 2 original, perfectly-sized, Western-exposed casement windows, is the palatial focal point of the room. Enjoy the special view overlooking the historic church next door and a peek at Central Park. An additional Eastern-exposed, oversized window helps to create a truly sumptuous, golden-lit space.

A steel, spiral staircase winds up to a charming loft area overlooking the living room and can easily be used as an office or for guests and sequestered with a screen for privacy. This space also discreetly opens to an immense storage area that can accommodate the greatest of needs. Step down to the grand and formal dining room with French glass doors and vaulted ceiling that begs to host graceful dinners. A windowed, country kitchen with wood ceiling boasts granite countertops, marble wall tile, abundant, custom wood cabinets, a Bosch dishwasher and a Scandinavian ASKO washer/dryer. The main bathroom is also windowed and has been outfitted with a Chatsworth sink, tub and ceramic wall tile and the finest chrome fixtures. The large master bedroom is bathed in Southern light and has a gorgeous, en-suite bathroom with mosaic marble, pampering, glass shower and pedestal sink. An enormous walk-in closet completes the room. The second bedroom is also impressively spacious and is kissed by the Eastern sun.

An assessment of $166.67 monthly is in place until March, 2018 for facade work which has already been completed.
