How many prime Manhattan homeowners can claim to have every single one of their home’s windows directly facing Central Park? RARE is the residence that can stake this audacious claim. SPECIAL is the property gifted with eight windows fully fronting the world’s greatest park. LUCKY is the owner who gets to call this boutique beauty home.

With a Central Park West address whose location comes with bragging rights, this easy-to-love Alden duplexed home — with its signature direct park views from every room — enjoys an heroic position in its prized, full service building. Above you are beamed Pre-war ceilings, underfoot are handsome wood floors, and all around you is bright, beautiful space enveloped by Central Park.

Set up like a house, the downstairs (floor 7) is for entertaining and relaxing, and the upstairs (floor 8) hosts the bedrooms. The lower lower level boasts the open-plan living/dining/kitchen -- an upgraded, easy-living space with an inset Hearth Cabinet fireplace and all four of its big windows onto the park's treetops and sky. The open kitchen is anchored by an attractive island, and boasts a Miele dishwasher, stone-topped counters, a Viking stove, wine fridge, and ample storage. Rounding out the downstairs are a Bosch washer/dryer, a full marble bath, and a trio of huge closets.

The easy and attractive stairs (with their own secret storage space) elegantly separate the downstairs living area from the upstairs bedrooms. The primary suite boasts a king-sized bed, dual designer closets (one walk-in!), an en suite marble bathroom with step-in shower, and two windows onto the park. Both lovely guest bedrooms offer their own windows onto the Central Park, and are served by their own marble bath with soaking tub.

With super-prime access to its Emery Roth designed, pet-friendly building’s full service staff, resident superintendent, glorious park-view roof garden, and building bike/laundry/storage rooms, life here is good and fun. With every area cultural, dining, shopping, fitness and entertainment destination nearby — not to mention Central Park as your front yard, and a plethora of easy transportation options right outside the door — this big-hearted, cottage-like home is a sweet standout.
