From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

A True Home in the Sky - Central Park Views, Unparalleled Outdoor Living, and Timeless Art Deco Elegance at The Century Condominium Perched high above Central Park in the storied Century Condominium, Residence 21/22J is one of the most unique and coveted homes in all of New York City. This extraordinary duplex spans nearly 3,500 square feet of refined interior space and is wrapped by an awe-inspiring, fully landscaped 2,700-square-foot private garden terrace-one of the largest of its kind on Central Park West. This residence offers a level of indoor-outdoor living rarely seen in Manhattan. The centerpiece of the home are the private sweeping gardens, a true outdoor sanctuary that evokes the charm and serenity of the Italian countryside alongside sweeping views of Central Park, Billionaires' Row, and Columbus Circle. The space is complete with pergola-covered dining, a gas grill, a fireplace, and multiple lounging and entertaining areas surrounded by lush plantings, this space offers a lifestyle unlike any other in the city. Inside the home the marble and mahogany grand foyer draws you to the double-width Living Room facing Central Park. The extraordinary day-time view in each season is matchless, its closest equal being the thrill of New York's glittering nighttime skylines. The gracious formal dining room flows seamlessly into an oversized, eat-in chef's kitchen where expansive windows frame views of the private terrace, Central Park, and the skyline beyond. The kitchen features cabinetry by Smallbone and state of the art appliances and abuts a large pantry on one side and entrance to the Gardens on the other. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or an evening drink at the kitchen table, the ever-changing canvas of modernity and energy of the pulsing heart of Central Park to the east and mid-town New York City to the south. A dramatic spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where the park-facing multi-room primary suite features floor-to-ceiling views of Central Park, a walk-in closet, a dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom. A park-facing mahogany paneled library including matching built-in desks connects to the primary suite, completing this oasis. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths are positioned for maximum privacy-two of which feature charming window seats with garden-facing views, a magical touch rarely found in the heart of Manhattan. The Century Condominium is a landmarked, full-service pre-war building designed by the legendary Irwin Chanin in 1931. It is the only pre-war condominium on Central Park West south of 86th Street and is one of the iconic twin-towered buildings that define the skyline. Residents enjoy white-glove service, a full-time doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, a private landscaped garden, and a brand-new amenity level featuring a state-of-the-art gym, playroom, golf simulator, and resident lounge with office and meeting rooms for flexible work-from-home space. *Ongoing Assessments totaling $768.4 /mo. More than a home, Residence 21J is a rare offering-where the elegance of a bygone era meets the comforts of modern living, and the serenity of a European garden meets the pulse of Manhattan. This is truly a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of New York history-with the sky and the park as your backdrop.
