This extraordinary five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom residence offers approximately 4,300 square feet and is defined by breathtaking west-facing views through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the home with natural light.Sweeping vistas of the city skyline and Hudson River, paired with unforgettable sunsets, create a rare sense of openness and volume-more downtown loft than Upper West Side, yet with a distinctly sophisticated, modern aesthetic.At the heart of the residence is a striking glass-and-steel spiral staircase: a true sculptural centerpiece conceived and crafted over nine months by the prior owner, a renowned fashion industry figure, in collaboration with his architect. Floating between two floors, the staircase elevates the home's architectural presence and reinforces its sleek, contemporary design. The living and entertaining level features soaring nine-foot ceilings and polished concrete floors throughout, enhancing the airy scale and modern elegance of the space.The recently renovated kitchen is both refined and highly functional, centered around a porcelain-clad island with stain-resistant countertops and backsplash. Top-of-the-line Gaggenau and Wolf appliances are complemented by Clever cabinetry that seamlessly conceals appliances for a clean, minimalist finish. Also on this level is a flexible fifth bedroom or den, complete with an en suite bath. Plus, there is a guest bath and laundry room.The upper level is dedicated to private living spaces. The expansive primary suite spans nearly 500 square feet and features two oversized walk-in closets, a dedicated home office area, and a spa-like bathroom with double sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate stall shower. Three additional bedrooms complete this level - one en suite and two sharing a generously sized bathroom.As a resident of One Central Park West, you enjoy true five-star, hotel-style living. Amenities include room service from Jean-Georges and Nougatine, a fully equipped gym, lap pool, full-service spa, valet parking, optional housekeeping, and a rooftop with panoramic views.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Serhant.
The living and entertaining level of Penthouse C at One Central Park West has nine-foot ceilings and polished concrete floors, and the bedrooms sit one floor up, so the two levels divide the home cleanly. The 4,266-square-foot duplex spans the 49th and 50th floors, and that split is what makes it work day to day.
The kitchen stays on the living level with a porcelain-clad island, stain-resistant countertops and Gaggenau and Wolf appliances. Clever cabinetry conceals the appliances when they're not in use, which keeps the room clean-lined. I like that the cooking and the entertaining share one floor, so hosting doesn't mean moving between levels. The same floor has a flexible fifth bedroom or den with an en suite bath, a guest bath, and a laundry room, and a washer and dryer are in the home.
Upstairs, the primary suite spans nearly 500 square feet and has two walk-in closets, a home office area, and a bathroom fitted with double sinks, a soaking tub, and a stall shower set apart from the tub. Three more bedrooms are on this level, one en suite and two sharing a bathroom. A glass-and-steel spiral staircase joins the two floors. The prior owner developed it over nine months with his architect, and it's the first thing you notice when you walk in.
The west-facing floor-to-ceiling windows bring in the light, and the views run across the city skyline and the Hudson River. Direct sun through a west-facing window runs from about 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM on the June solstice and from about 12:34 PM to 4:07 PM at the winter solstice. Nearby buildings can block it, so it's worth seeing the room in the late afternoon.
The building is a full-service condominium of 44 stories and 156 residences, built in 1960. It has a concierge, an elevator, valet parking, a gym, an indoor pool, a spa, a sauna, a steam room, a resident lounge, a roof deck, a bike room, and storage. Pets are allowed. Central Park is about 1 minute away on foot, and the 59 St-Columbus Circle station for the 1, A, B, C, and D trains is about 2 minutes away. Whole Foods Market is about 2 minutes away as well.
