Description

Make your dream home at Manhattan's most legendary address, in this spectacular gut-renovated three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom condominium featuring luxurious interiors, jaw-dropping Central Park views and world-class amenities at The Plaza Private Residences. Renovated and upgraded to perfection using the finest materials and craftsmanship, this 2,656-square-foot showplace boasts exquisite inlaid hardwood floors, soaring 12' tray ceilings with cove lighting, opulent millwork, and oversized windows facing north, south and west, providing all-day light and views. A gracious entry gallery flanked by a coat closet and luxurious powder room makes a dramatic first impression. Ahead, the sprawling great room welcomes comfortable relaxation and lavish entertaining with a generous 32-foot-long footprint and mesmerizing Central Park vistas.

Chefs will adore the gourmet open kitchen where custom, full-feature cabinetry and sleek onyx countertops surround a fleet of upscale appliances by Miele and Fisher & Paykel, including a five-burner gas cooktop, wall oven, built-in coffee maker, 36” refrigerator, extra large wine refrigerator and two dishwasher drawers. Private quarters are tucked down a separate hallway for optimal peace and privacy. Revel in a serene owner's retreat where an enviable custom walk-in closet is joined by three additional wardrobes, ensuring storage is never a concern. The windowed en suite spa bathroom impresses with a soaking tub, steam shower, towel warmer and double vanity wrapped in swaths of elegant marble.

A large secondary bedroom enjoys a roomy closet, courtyard views and an adjacent marble bathroom, while the third bedroom features pocket doors opening to the great room and hall, making it ideal as a media lounge, library or private home office. This space can also serve as an elegant formal dining room. An in-unit washer-dryer, central air conditioning and Crestron smart home system that controls sound, lighting and temperature make daily life a joy in this sophisticated Plaza sanctuary. Designed in 1907 by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, The Plaza is a French-Renaissance-inspired chateau featuring marble, white brick and a mansard roof.

Inside, the spectacular Beaux-Arts marble lobby leads to rooms of extraordinary neo-Classical, Spanish Renaissance, German Renaissance and Tudor design. Called "New York's most celebrated symbol of cosmopolitan and turn-of-the-century splendor, inside and out" by The New York Times architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable in 1971, The Plaza is an enduring, iconic landmark and coveted residential destination. At The Plaza Condominium & Residences, residents are spoiled by luxury hotel-style services and amenities, from concierge and butler service to 24-hour in-home dining and housekeeping.

Enjoy direct access to The Palm Court, Champagne Bar, Guerlain Spa, Blandi Salon and luxury retail shops, including Assouline books and The Plaza Boutique. Or book your private event at the legendary Grand Ballroom, Terrace Room, Oak Room or Edwardian Room. From this commanding location in the heart of Manhattan, you're just inches from 840-acre Central Park and Midtown's best attractions. Enjoy first-class shopping along Fifth Avenue, 57th Street and The Shops at Columbus Circle.

Five-star dining awaits in every direction, and spectacular Theater District and Lincoln Center entertainment venues are within easy reach.
