Corner Classic-9 with Direct Park and Iconic Manhattan Views Offered for the first time in generations is a rare Classic 9 room residence nestled along the southeast corner of a preeminent prewar building along Central Park West. Showcasing highly sought after grand proportions and 35' of panoramic views above the tree line that capture the verdant landscape of Central Park and the iconic Manhattan skyline, Residence 8B awaits its next steward. A semi-private elevator landing is shared with just one other residence on the floor and welcomes you into a vast 15' x 17' central Gallery space. As a Classic 9, it has retained an ideal prewar layout with service rooms gathered on one side of the apartment. Public and private rooms, positioned sensibly to take advantage of the most coveted views and exposures, are on the opposite side of the residence. Picturesque Park scenes come into focus through three oversized windows as you enter into the nearly 19' x 30' Living Room from the Gallery. A wood burning fireplace warms the space while two built in bookshelves eagerly anticipate being filled once more. Returning to the central Gallery, we head south to the 19' x 12' Den. Outfitted with a wet bar, powder room, and lined with bookshelves, the Den can easily be transformed into a fourth bedroom or refilled with classic tomes for an enviable home library complemented by views of the most iconic landmarks along Central Park South, Billionaire's Row and beyond. The 16' x 19' corner Primary Bedroom suite encapsulates the best of everything one would hope for in a Central Park West residence of this magnitude: extended views east above the tree line over Central Park, beautifully warm golden light from southern views that capture the iconic Manhattan skyline, dual primary closets with French doors, a built-in vanity outside of the bathroom, and a five fixture ensuite bath. The next steward of Residence 8B will want for nothing. The second and third bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bathroom in 8B's current configuration. Desirable old world proportions continue to abound as we shift to the 13' x 18' formal Dining Room. The service side of the home features five oversized north-facing windows - making Residence 8B a triple exposure home. For more intimate family meals, the 13' x 22' Eat-in-Kitchen manages to be spacious and welcoming all at once. With space for a family dining table along with bar height seating, there's room for everyone to gather here in the heart of the home. The dedicated windowed laundry room with immense storage sensibly occupies the rear space near the service entrance. 10' high ceilings and stunning hardwood floors are found throughout Residence 8B along with and an exceptional amount of storage that includes a cedar closet and a walk-in closet near the secondary bedrooms.
