The primary bedroom suite is currently located at the end of the grand hall and features windows and a door leading to a sublime terrace situated also directly over Central Park. Start your day watching the sun glimmer off the Reservoir. The proportions of this grand bedroom suite and the views-from inside and outside are only matched by the luxurious 15 foot x 15 foot, five-fixture windowed bathroom and the sprawling 24-foot walk-in closet and grand dressing room.

The gentle curved staircase takes you to the 18th floor where the landing is surrounded by built-in bookcases and opens to the five possible bedrooms on this floor.

Herringbone hardwood floors, high ceilings, beautiful moldings, are just some of the pristine condition prewar details throughout this fine home. A well-designed lighting plan, central air and a humidification system are in place. This one of a kind home can be viewed virtually, in real-time, and by an in person appointment.

The neighborhood includes Upper West Side cultural icons such as the Museum of Natural History, and the Historical Society. Gourmet grocers include Whole Foods, Zabars, Citarella, to name a few, and the main attraction Central Park needs no explanation.

One of New York's most iconic architects, Emory Roth designed the El dorado. His Art Deco style has withstood the ages and the magnificent restoration of the original lobby, is proof of that. While built from 1928-1930 and formed into a cooperative in 1982, 300 Central Park West has modern day amenities including a half basketball court, fitness room, playroom, and laundry room. Services abound from the professional and attentive staff including full time doorpersons, concierge, porters, repair people and resident manager.

There is currently a building-wide assessment to replace windows and this apartment's portion is $773.32 per month through Dec. 2027.
