50 Central Park West, 2-C

Finally: an opportunity to own a piece of New York’s incredible history… Welcome to The Prasada – one of the Upper West Side’s most highly sought-after and iconic buildings. This special home boasts a sprawling 6-room flow and features three graciously proportioned bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a windowed eat-in kitchen, as well as a grand living room and dining area. This majestic home’s bones exude the grandeur and elegance, found only in a turn of the century abode. A lovely, oval-like gallery graces the apartment’s entry. From the gallery, a generous, curved hallway leads to its over scaled living room and dining area – featuring more than 40 contiguous feet of space in which to entertain. The living room’s oversized windows overlook the beautiful, landmarked neighboring church and offer a peek into Central Park. The dining room features original wood paneling, beamed ceilings and side views of the park. Off its elegantly curved hallway sit both the primary and second bedrooms, each of which has its own en suite bathroom. As the third bedroom’s bath is just outside of the room, it conveniently doubles as a guest powder room. This home boasts central air conditioning, soaring ceilings, as well as beautiful, original herringbone and parquet floors all throughout its expanse. Completed in 1907 by Franklin and Samuel Haines, The Prasada, also known as 50 Central Park West, is a white glove, full-service, very well-established cooperative since 1973. One is greeted immediately upon entering the building by its magnificent vaulted-ceilinged lobby and glorious windowed hallways on each floor. 50 CPW’s impressive staff includes a full-time doorman, elevator operator, several porters, an experienced handyman and a resident manager. Other building amenities include private storage (2C comes with two deeded storage units), a bike room, and a modern exercise room, and pets are permitted. With Central Park as its front yard and Lincoln Center due just one block west, 50 CPW boasts proximity to just about every prime cultural, recreational, dining, and shopping destination. This is the opportunity of a lifetime: to create a true dream home, at the one and only Prasada.
