Property Description for 279 Central Park West, PH-AB

Modern Sanctuary in the Sky: PH-AB is a luxuriously renovated 6,713 SF two-full floor, duplex complete with 7 bedrooms, 6 full-bathrooms and 2 powder rooms, boasting breathtaking 360 degree views, including all of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline from floor to ceiling and expansive picture windows. The residence boasts 923 SF of custom-designed, landscaped, wrap-around terraces on both floors with full-length vistas of Central Park. The open floorplan lets breathtaking light flow throughout the immaculate, mid-century modern design executed by Steven Harris Architects and Rees Roberts + Partners.

The residence offers contactless, direct elevator entry leading to the expansive Great Room that welcomes you with stunning, panoramic views over the Reservoir. The formal living and dining rooms enjoy open views throughout, a drop down home theatre, wet bar and direct access to the terrace.

The custom-designed eat-in chefs kitchen boasts a 6-burner Wolf gas stove-top complete with a griddle, two Wolf ovens, two Sub-Zero refrigerators with freezer drawers, two Miele dishwashers, two sinks and a beautiful, book-matched Palisandro Bluette back-splash with ample Bulthaup cabinetry throughout for storage. The kitchen enjoys an over-sized island and a dining table convenient for every day, casual dining.

Directly off the kitchen is an expansive media room which leads to a spacious home-office -- all of which have open sunny views starting from Central Park and stretching all the way over to the Hudson River. The home-office opens up to a private home gym with a beautiful western exposure and is conveniently located next to a full-bathroom; this area could be converted into a 7th bedroom suite. Also, discretely tucked away on the other side of the floor is a spacious guest room suite with open western and northern exposures.

The grand, floating staircase elegantly divides the formal living room and dining room and goes up to the 20th floor to the luxurious master suite which boasts incredible sunrise views over Central Park and direct access to the terrace. The two walk-in closets and beautifully built-out storage wall lead to the master bath complete with Walnut Travertine, a deep-soaking tub and full city views.

A uniquely designed back staircase also leads to the 20th floor where you will find 4 additional bedrooms, 3 full-bathrooms, a family room featuring a wet bar, powder-room, and long work/study hall.

PH-AB allows ample room for multiple people to work and attend class from home in privacy, with multiple dividers available from pocket doors and includes thoughtfully designed built-ins and multiple deep closets throughout, perfect for stocking up, and additional storage is available in the building. Additional details include a safe room along with two separate custom safes, Crestron system, a built-in projector in the living room and built-in automatic shades throughout.

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.
