Description

Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this grand apartment at the iconic Dakota has 8 magnificent rooms, 4 of which face directly onto Central Park. Upon entering the apartment through mahogany French doors, one is struck by the 13'6" high ceilings. Directly off of the entry is the beautifully preserved library with a park view through a huge window.

All of the park facing rooms have spectacular original details including 3 wood burning fireplaces (2 complete with an over-mantel), 3 sets of immense original mahogany pocket doors, and original plaster and mahogany moldings. As currently laid out, there are 3 bedrooms with park views, 2.5 baths (originally 3.5 baths), a huge square living room and an expansive dining room, both of which look onto the lovely, quiet interior courtyard of the Dakota. There is an eat-in kitchen and a maid's room with its own half bath.

The Master Suite has a separate large dressing room with a spacious bath. The Dakota is known for offering the highest level of service and privacy. It was completed in 1884, and designed by Henry Hardenbergh, who also designed the Plaza Hotel.
