Property Description for 262 Central Park West, 10-E
Simply Spectacular!
A truly triple mint 4-5 bedroom home with huge views of Central Park and the Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir from every room but one; plus a renovation that rivals any new development and extremely low maintenance! The only home in the building like this, it has an extra bedroom and bathroom on the Park.
Enter via a semi-private landing into an open gallery, where immediately you are greeted with breathtaking views of Central Park, the Reservoir, and the Fifth Avenue skyline out of enormous picture windows.
The open side-by-side living room and formal dining room are perched perfectly on the 10th floor, a level to enjoy all of the Park, Reservoir and the City beyond! A fabulously renovated, windowed eat-in chef's kitchen is conveniently located next to the dining room and designed so that you can see Central Park while cooking and eating. The kitchen features two sinks, a six-burner vented stove, two ovens, a warming drawer, and endless counter and cabinet space including a center island with a sink and hidden television. In addition to the Park views, the kitchen offers bright afternoon Western exposures, and a large banquet for informal dining.

Adjacent to the library and servicing the entertaining rooms is a lovely powder room. Behind the library, you will find a large, cozy and comfortable bedroom with an elegantly appointed full bathroom.

There is an enormous walk in closet and a spa like bathroom with double vanity, large glass shower and deep soaking tub with views! Currently set up as one grand room, it could easily be made back into 2 rooms, one a sleeping room with an adjacent library or dressing room.
