Property Description for 225 Central Park West, 918
When you pass under the classic entry marquee and cross the threshold into this landmarked, full-service coop designed by legendary architect Emery Roth you will immediately be transported into a gracious and spacious world of luxury: a timeless lobby that is presided over by a white-glove staff. And, as you leave the building, you will be greeted by Central Park right in front of you.
The elevator that has been restored to its pre-war glory transports you to the ninth floor to the elegant home that features high ceilings, split bedrooms, den and a washer/dryer. This sun-splashed, quiet residence is a peaceful retreat overlooking historic architecture and clear skies for days.
The 9-foot-high ceilings evoke a sense of grandeur and offer even more natural light coming from enlarged windows with northern and western exposures. Enhancing the light and unobstructed views are through-the-wall air conditioners. The baseboards and original, well-maintained floors give your new home that classic pre-war feel that contrasts beautifully with the modern touches.
Let's take a closer look:
THE ENTRYWAY: The expanded and spacious foyer, which took advantage of a purchase of a portion of the hallway, creates a perfect transition and welcomes you home.
THE KITCHEN: The windowed kitchen with refinished cherry wood cabinetry is decked out with top-of-the-line appliances including a SMEG stove, a Liebherr fridge and a Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher.

THE BEDROOMS: Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and have an abundant amount of storage. The primary bedroom's bathroom is en suite.
The DEN: Currently outfitted as a multi-use guest room/office with a bunk bed and a desk, the den also features a closet. This room with a door and soundproof transom window offers several options for you to use it any way you see fit.
THE LAUNDRY: Your very own Bosch washer/dryer, which is located in the half bathroom, will keep your clothes looking their best and keep you out of the common, shared laundry room, which is available if you need to do a large amount of laundry.
THE BUILDING: The pet-friendly Alden, a Bing and Bing Building, is a well-run, full-service coop with a 24-hour doormen, live-in super and a concierge, plus on-site management to assist you.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: The building sits on a Central Park block at the epicenter of the Upper West Side.
