241 Central Park West, PH-C

The Rudin Family Penthouse on CPW Welcome to the ultimate New York City apartment, a Prewar Penthouse on Central Park West. This landmarked home rich in history, previously occupied by the Rudin family, is now on the open market for the first time. This ultra-rare, 3796 square-foot floorplan is a desirable duplex, with each level having its own terrace and stunning Central Park and city views. The size and scale of the rooms, most with 109 ceilings and huge windows enhance the feeling of grandeur. The entire home was recently renovated, retaining prewar details including gorgeous solid oak floors, casement windows and terrace doors, while updating the home with modern conveniences. New HVAC has been installed throughout, with each room individually controllable by phone. Motorized shades can be found in all major rooms, including blackout options in the primary suite. Lower Level A gracious marble entry foyer welcomes guests and leads to a perfectly proportioned living area, featuring a wood-burning fireplace with a marble mantle. Flanking the fireplace are two large windows which fill the room with light and provide breathtaking park views. A third large window faces South, providing incredible midtown city views. A large formal dining room is just off the living area and includes a fully fitted Butlers pantry with service door. One can access the wrap around cocktail terrace here, which spans the entire length of the apartment, 50 along Central Park West, and another 50 across 84th Street. The newly updated kitchen features top of the line appliances, dual dishwashers, vented range and sprawling stone counters fully equipped to handle the grandest of parties. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large sunny breakfast area perfect for casual meals. A conveniently located laundry room just off the kitchen includes a windowed powder room, adding a touch of practical luxury. There is another powder room off the entry foyer, and two extremely gracious bedrooms, each with views and ensuite baths, completing the first level. Upper Level The upper level can be accessed either by the chic staircase, or private elevator that connects the two floors. Upon arrival you will find the generous Primary Suite, which features a coffered ceiling and huge casement windows, offering stunning east views over the park with incredible morning light. The en-suite windowed marble bathroom features Waterworks fixtures, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. There is a huge, windowed closet/dressing area with views of the West Side, and five additional closets throughout the suite. White framed casement glass doors separate the bedroom from the Atrium, which can be used as a sitting room, office, gym, or sunroom. The atrium floor is finished in marble and thoughtfully fitted with radiant heat, making it cozy and practical, allowing for year-round use. Through the Atrium is a second set of casement doors which leads you to the 600sf entertaining terrace, which provides Instagram views of Central Park, Midtown, the Upper West Side and beyond. A second butlers pantry just off the Atrium reduces trips downstairs to the kitchen for those late-night snacks and drinks Constructed in 1930, 241 Central Park West is a full-service building built by Schwartz and Gross.
