With verdant tree-clearing views over Central Park, this spacious seven room (originally 8), three bedroom, three and one half bath classic has a thoughtful layout, exemplifying the richness of illustrious architect Rosario Candela's aesthetic. Entered through a semi-private landing into a gracious foyer, light floods the living room through a nine-foot-wide picture window facing Central Park; here you'll also find a wood burning fireplace, hardwood floors, 9'-3” ceilings and built-in custom cabinetry. Adjacent is a formal dining room which can be opened to the staff room (with en suite bath) and the kitchen, should a grand open kitchen/great room be preferred. The corner primary faces Central Park and Central Park South, has a dedicated bathroom, built-in closets and window seats and is impressive day and night. The private quarters also house two additional south-facing bedrooms (which share a windowed bathroom) and a well-placed powder room off the hallway. The spacious windowed kitchen has a butler's pantry with a wet bar, two Wolf wall ovens, a 5-burner Wolf cooktop, a Thermador grill, a warming drawer, a professional refrigerator with glass doors, and a separate full size Sub-Zero freezer. The next residents will enjoy close proximity to Lincoln Center as well as a coveted view towards the finish line of the New York Marathon and a “front seat” to the Thanksgiving Day Parade. A storage room conveys with the sale (monthly charge of $298); maintenance includes a monthly assessment of $103.66. Full-time doormen, resident manager, porter, laundry facilities, bike storage and a playroom are additional amenities. An intimate pre-war with only 48 apartments and just two per landing, 75 CPW allows 50% financing, is pet friendly and considers pieds-a-terre on a case-by-case basis.
