Property Description for 279 Central Park West, 14-B

Discover Breathtaking Central Park Views from EVERY room in this stunning corner condominium home.

Step into a gracious gallery that opens into a sun-drenched Great Room measuring approximately 36 feet long across Central Park. Here, large bay windows frame spectacular views of Central Park, the Jackie Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, and the Fifth Avenue and Midtown skyline. A cozy nook in the bay windowed corner invites you to enjoy the ever-changing scenery, especially at night when the city lights sparkle. The Great Room also features window seats with storage underneath and an electric fireplace with a beautifully carved mantel and built-ins on either side.

Adjacent to the dining area, the stunning new chef's kitchen is perfectly designed for cooking while allowing you to savor the enchanting views of the Park. This top-of-the-line kitchen boasts Carrara marble countertops, custom Smallbone cabinetry with Macassar ebony and white finishes, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler, Wolf stove, Miele wall oven, microwave and dishwasher, and a garbage disposal.

Tucked away in its own wing, the primary bedroom suite is a true oasis, complete with side Park views, a walk-in closet and a spa-like en-suite bathroom. This luxurious bathroom is clad in Calacatta Gold marble and features a Bain Ultra air jet bathtub and heated towel racks.

The second and third bedrooms, both with side Park views, are currently configured as a study and a bedroom separated by elegant French doors, offering versatility. One bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, while the other includes a spacious walk-in closet which was a full bathroom and still has the plumbing to convert it back.

Conveniently located near the gallery, a true laundry room is equipped with a Bosch Washer/Dryer, Sub-Zero freezer drawers, and a commercial-grade sink that is perfect for washing a small pup!

Additional highlights of this home include central air conditioning, hardwood floors, and a jewel box powder room with limestone floors and a stunning brass sink.

Central Park West | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Home to some of New York City’s most famous buildings like The Dakota, with its enchanting architecture, and the equally impressive San Remo just a couple streets away, Central Park West is one of the most eye-popping neighborhoods to live in. 

It is historically renowned for its blending of architecture and residential living. So much so, that it earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is thought to have some of the most diverse and beautiful skylines in all of New York and has drawn celebrity residents for decades

If world-class architecture isn’t enough for you, there are plenty of warm brownstones to be found as well. There is so much to do in Central Park West, the most obvious being in the name of the neighborhood itself. With Central Park running the length of one of its borders, there’s easy access to the park and all its wonders, running trails, row boats, and bridges. If you prefer the indoors, the American Museum of Natural History is at your service. 

There are few places in the world that can match Central Park West’s varied combination of urban and residential charm, elegance, and spirit.
