Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
Champalimaud designed this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in The Centrale, a 71-story Art Deco inspired tower by Pelli Clarke Pelli that was completed in 2019. The 1,406-square-foot plan is split, with white oak floors that run from the entry into an open living and dining room.
The kitchen is the room you'll notice first. It has a full set of Gaggenau appliances, a stone island that flows into the counters, and custom white oak millwork that carries the floor materials into the cabinetry. Because the living and dining rooms open off the entry, you'll cook in the middle of the home rather than at its edge, so guests stay close by. The trade-off is less separation between cooking and sitting.
The primary suite includes a generous closet for the walk-in type, and its bath has five fixtures. The floor is heated from below, and the room has a glass-walled shower along with a freestanding tub that is deep enough for a long soak. The second bedroom sits on the other side of the split layout, which gives it good privacy, and the second full bath is next to it. I'd see the layout in person to judge how the two bedrooms feel from the living room.
Nest thermostats are in every room, the shades are motorized, and a Bosch washer and dryer are included, so laundry stays inside the apartment. The apartment has central air.
The building has a 24-hour attended lobby, a concierge, a gym, an indoor pool, a spa, a steam room, a roof deck, and a bike room. The amenities also include a triple height lounge, a private dining room with a catering kitchen, a club room, and an all-season outdoor terrace, and the fitness center looks out onto a 75-foot lap pool. Pets are allowed.
The 51 St station on the 6, E and F lines is about 2 minutes on foot, and Grand Central-42 St for the 4, 5, 6, 7 and S is about 10 minutes. Morton Williams is about 6 minutes away for groceries, and the Museum of Modern Art is about 12 minutes.
