Description

A great find on Central Park West. Three apartments together to make a comfortable living.

A separate 1 bedroom apartment was created with a brand new kitchen with a separate entrance.

Perfect for guests or visiting in-laws. The Orwell House is a pre-war building designed by the firm of Milliken & Moeller. It was built in 1906. The property is a full-service building that includes a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, new laundry facilities, bike room, and a small private garage.
