25 Central Park West, Apartment 7Q., USA

An exceptional condominium on Central Park West

Perfectly perched over Central Park West at the Century prewar condominium, this delightful and expansive corner "Q line" (the most coveted line in the building) 2/3 bedroom and 2 bath home is punctuated by a sweep of Central Park views to the north and east through walls of large new picture windows. This inviting and well-proportioned home includes a formal dining room, library/media room (which can double as a third bedroom), all new double-paned windows throughout, multi-zoned air-conditioning and one of the most enviably spacious corner primary bedroom suites floating on Central Park. The apartment is beautifully sun-drenched and wows with gorgeous sunsets.

The very gracious 18 X 8 entry foyer is a wonderful centrepiece from which all rooms are approached and includes immediate views of Central Park. The living room includes a marvellously large window span offering eye-catching Central Park views east across the park and to the south along the Central Park South skyline. Opposite the living room, a separate dining room with built-in bar cabinet easily accommodates dining on a large scale. A comfortable library/media room adjacent the dining room (can double as a third bedroom) includes a wall of custom bookcases and offers a cozy contrast to the larger living space. The spacious windowed kitchen is a chef's dream with a centre island and abundant storage. The vast corner primary bedroom suite, down a separate hall off the foyer, captivates with open views of Central Park and includes a luxuriously spacious windowed bath with tub and stall shower and separate sitting area. A second bedroom with beautifully outfitted marble tiled en-suite bath with stall shower completes the layout. The apartment includes hardwood floors throughout and features a separate laundry room with access to a major service elevator - a considerable advantage for deliveries, construction, and moving in and out.

A state-of-the-art new Gym (plus playroom and pet-spa) is under construction and anticipated to be completed this year. Parking - two parking garages are conveniently located adjacent the building.

Location

Ever wonder why an incalculable number of creative works are set somewhere between 59th and 110th streets, within Central Park West and the Hudson River? All New York City neighbourhoods are created equal, but there’s just something about the Upper West Side. Honestly, it’s all in the details: Iconic architecture, city-defining structures like the Dakota, the San Remo, and the El Dorado. Cultural institutions and historical sites of immense international renown line the streets and avenues. Certainly, having two beloved greenspaces — Central Park and Riverside Park — at its horizontal edges doesn’t hurt the reputation either. All of it and more is why so many New Yorkers choose to call the UWS home. It’s also why, at times, this neighbourhood can feel as much an attitude or mindset as it does a physical place.
