From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
There's no such thing as too much light when the view is Central Park. Set directly across from Central Park, Residence 4C is a sun-filled two-bedroom, two-bathroom home where oversized windows frame treetop views and bring incredible natural light throughout the day. The living and dining rooms are genuinely oversized, with multiple exposures, hardwood floors and custom millwork throughout. The windowed kitchen has abundant cabinetry and counter space, while the primary suite features custom storage and a renovated en-suite windowed bathroom with double sinks and a large walk-in shower. A separate second bedroom overlooking the park works beautifully as a den, library or home office, with pocket doors that open the spaces up for entertaining. Storage is abundant throughout, including a walk-in closet off the entry foyer, and each room has its own independently controlled PTAC unit. 257 Central Park West has been thoughtfully updated beyond the apartment, too. The renovated lobby and hallways have been recently refreshed, the gym is fully equipped, and the landscaped furnished roof deck has incredible views over the Central Park Reservoir and Manhattan skyline. There's also a full-time doorman, live-in super, children's playroom, bike storage and additional storage. Pets and pied-a-terres are permitted with Board approval, with financing up to 75%. The building allows you to install WD in the unit. Directly across from Central Park at 86th Street, with the B/C trains outside your door and the Great Lawn and American Museum of Natural History all close by. Barney Greengrass is around the corner, Zabar's is down the street, and some of the neighborhood's best restaurants line Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues. It's a part of the Upper West Side that feels distinctly New York. Note there is currently an assessment of $1,070 through 4/30/2027.
