Property Description for 25 Central Park West, 12-S

The Century Condominium: A Prime Central Park West Duplex

This one bedroom, one and a half-bath Central Park West duplex in the landmark Century Condominium, combines pre-war architectural grandeur with modern luxuries in this spacious and elegant two-level home. Inspiring views of Central Park from both levels.

The First Level: Living and Entertaining

A large living room with high ceilings, elevated archways, original Art Deco decorative fireplace and Art Deco plaster moldings. Period-appropriate upgrades include baseboards (on both levels), wall sconces, and fireplace lighting. Split system air conditioning with a custom walnut enclosure and cabinetry. A second hall closet has been converted into a 'tech' space with 14 electrical outlets, internet and cable hook-ups, and custom shelving.

The renovated kitchen includes two U-Line wine fridges, updated cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel sink, large floor tiles, subway tile back-splash, premium Viking appliances, and under-cabinet LED lighting.

This level includes a lovely guest bathroom (half-bath). A sweeping staircase - an elegant hallmark of Century duplexes - provides a graceful transition to the upper level.

The Upper Level: Private Sanctuary

The Primary Suite: Substantial sized suite featuring new through-the-wall air conditioning with custom walnut enclosure, cabinetry and flip-up desk for a remote work option. The walk-in closets have been renovated with custom shelving. There is dedicated electrical circuit for stereo in the bedroom. A separate secondary entrance is on this level.

The Bath: The en-suite primary bathroom has been fully gut renovated to include Kohler fixtures, tile, shelving, towel bars and electric floor heating. It maintains the pre-war aesthetic while providing modern convenience, featuring premium fixtures and classic tile work.

Laundry Closet: The upper level also features a dedicated laundry closet with Miele washer and dryer appliances.

Apartment-wide renovations also include dual-pane Skyline windows, electrical wiring, outlets, switches, and circuit panel, refinished original floors (walnut on the first level and staircase, oak on the second level). All walls and ceilings have been skim-coated and repainted. Period-appropriate ceiling light fixture replacements in the hallways, foyer, kitchen, bathrooms, bedroom and closets. Internet and cable hook-ups in the living room and bedroom.

The Building: The Century Condominium

Built in 1931 by Irwin Chanin, The Century is a masterpiece of Art Deco design and one of only four twin-towered landmarks on Central Park West. Its platinum-leafed lobby and intricate geometric stonework define a period of unparalleled New York elegance.

Building Services: As a premier landmark building, The Century offers 24-hour doormen, a resident manager, and a private fitness center, golf simulator, dog washing station, children's play area, media room, private office rooms.

Lincoln Square-Columbus Circle Neighborhood

Situated at the crossroads of culture and commerce, Lincoln Square offers an unrivaled urban experience. Residents are steps away from the world-class performances at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, including the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic. The neighborhood is a culinary destination, home to Michelin-starred dining and the gourmet offerings of Whole Foods at Columbus Circle. With Central Park as your front yard and the Riverside Park just a short stroll to the west, the area seamlessly blends high-energy city life with tranquil green escapes.

This duplex is more than a home; it is a piece of New York history, offering a sophisticated lifestyle in one of Central Park West's most recognizable silhouettes.

Buyer pays six months equivalent of common charges as a one time contribution the the Century condominium building capital fund.

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.
