50 Central Park West, 9-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, perfectly situated on Central Park West, between 64th and 65th Streets.

This special home has grand scale and wonderful light and views. There are three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, (could be 3) and dramatic living space with Central Park Views.

The stunning newly restored elevator brings you to the architecturally beautiful landing. The large gallery leads to the exceptional curved hallway, opening into the living room and dining room. The corner living room has open West and North Central Park Views and the adjacent formal dining room has North Central Park views from an elegant bay window. Next to the dining room is a large windowed kitchen which could be opened to the dining room. The apartment exudes the grandeur and elegance sought after in a turn of the century home while offering a clean contemporary aesthetic.

The corner master bedroom has a large walk-in closet and bright South and Western exposures. Originally two separate bathrooms, the enormous master bathroom has a free standing tub that takes advantage of a large picture window with City views, plus double sinks and a separate shower. A large second bedroom has a walk-in closet, Northern exposures, and shares access to the master bath. The master bath could be restored back into 2 bathrooms. The third bedroom is serviced by the adjacent renovated hall bathroom which is also the powder bath.
