Description

WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN THE RENOWNED "GHOSTBUSTERS" BUILDING WITH INCREDIBLE DIRECT PARK VIEWS! This is your chance to create your dream home in one of CPW's most prestigious and coveted white glove buildings. Enter this rarely available, grand scaled pre-war residence through its large gracious entrance gallery.

The gallery opens directly into the expansive Park-facing sunken living room and spacious formal dining room which easily converts to a third bedroom/library/family room. This immense space is perfect for both sophisticated entertaining and everyday living. You and your guests will watch the Thanksgiving Day parade, the New Year's Eve fireworks and the New York City Marathon from the privacy of your own home.

The separate bedroom wing has an oversized Master Bedroom with direct Park views and a large 2nd Bedroom, both of which have en-suite baths and massive closets. The maid's room has been incorporated into the windowed eat-in- kitchen, and the original maid's bath remains as a powder room. The apartment has oversized windows and thru-wall air-conditioning.

Prewar details include beamed ceilings, beautiful herringbone & plank hardwood floors, and 9' ceilings. The flexible layout, large proportions, magnificent light and Central Park views make this the perfect canvas for you to create your dream home.This renowned Central Park West Coop was constructed in 1929. 55 Central Park West was designed by renowned architects Schwartz and Gross and is considered one of the pivotal buildings of the CPW Historic District embodying the Art Deco Style.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has been the home to many celebrities over the years, and Ghostbusters, Elf and Superman were filmed here. 55 CPW is superbly located in the most vibrant section of the Upper Westside, across from Central Park at the corner of West 66th Street, which is home to Tavern on the Green. It is a block from Lincoln Center, home to the world famous Metropolitan Opera, a few short blocks to Columbus Circle and the Time Warner Center, and is convenient to all transportation.

The lobby is currently being renovated to restore its original Art Deco magnificence. 50% financing is allowed for the first $1 million and 33% on the amount above $1 million. 55 CPW is a full-service co-op with a top-tier staff, comprised of 24-hour doormen, a resident manager and porters.
