Description

NEW PRICE! A majestic corner classic 8 of glorious scale and proportions with direct views over Central Park to the East and Billionaire’s Row to the South in a full-service luxury prewar cooperative on coveted Central Park West. Boasting over 45’ feet of direct park frontage, Residence 5A at 91 Central Park West is a 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offering a flexible floor plan and graceful flow, with three rooms over Central Park including a sprawling living room, a library/3rd bedroom with an en-suite windowed bathroom as well as a corner primary bedroom suite, all offered at an exceptional value for you to tailor to your own needs.

As you enter off of a semi-private landing, you make your way through the foyer and into a gracious central gallery off of which all rooms radiate. The living room stretches nearly 24 feet deep and directly overlooks glorious Central Park through a pair of oversized double-hung windows.

The living room is adorned with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by handsome built-ins, further complemented by prewar details such as beamed ceilings overhead and herringbone wood floors which can be found throughout the principle entertaining rooms. A park-facing 3rd bedroom/library rests immediately adjacent the living room and features an array of built-ins, two sizable closets as well as a windowed en-suite bathroom. This room can be accessed from the bedroom hall as a bedroom or opened into the living room, per your taste and needs.

To the West of the gallery, a regal formal dining room is wrapped in wainscoting and is the perfect setting for even the most elaborate of dinner parties or holiday gatherings. The scale of the dining room is ideal for those who alternatively wish to create a media or great room, or a hybrid space with a full proper dining area further enhanced by additional lounging. Immediately adjacent, there is a large windowed eat-in kitchen with a dedicated breakfast area as well as two staff rooms, one of which is currently in use as a laundry room and the other of which has functioned as a home office with a windowed en-suite bathroom.

The principle bedrooms are located in the southern wing of the home, anchored by a glamorous park-facing corner primary bedroom suite which wraps the southeastern facade of the building over Central Park West and West 69th Street.

The primary bedroom offers two walk-in closets as well as a windowed en-suite bathroom. There is a second large bedroom suite facing South over West 69th Street with two sizable walk-in closets as well as an en-suite windowed bathroom.

Built in 1929, 91 Central Park West is prestigious prewar cooperative designed by prolific architects Schwartz & Gross in the Neo-Renaissance style with Beaux-Arts embellishments. This resplendent brick-building with rusticated limestone base commands the North corner of West 69th Street on a prime stretch of the Central Park West Gold Coast.

There is a dedicated full-time staff that includes a doorman/concierge and a live-in resident manager, and building amenities include a fitness room, a playroom, central laundry as well as bicycle storage and assigned private storage. Residents enjoy the luxury of Central Park at their doorstep as well as close proximity to Lincoln Center and the vibrant cultural, culinary, shopping and entertainment venues that epitomize life on the prime Upper West Side. Pieds-a-terre and pets are permitted upon approval.

There is a flip tax of 2% payable by the buyer, and financing is allowed up to 50%.
