Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Prewar details give this 1,250-square-foot condominium at 160 Central Park South its character, and the 42-story building dates to 1930. The apartment has two bedrooms and two full baths, with hardwood floors and an entrance foyer. The home has park and city views, and Central Park is about 1 minute on foot, close enough for daily use.
The layout is the part I'd look at first. Two generous bedrooms, living and dining space, and a butler's pantry give you separate rooms for sleeping, entertaining and serving, which is useful if you host often. The pantry is a practical place for glassware and serving pieces, so the dining room stays clear. Central air is part of the home.
Building services are worth weighing alongside the apartment. The building offers 24-hour doorman and concierge service, and it also has on-site management, a security guard, an elevator, a package room, garage parking, valet parking and a bike room. Shared amenities include a gym, a spa, a sauna, a steam room, a recreation room and a courtyard. Cats and dogs are allowed, and the building has laundry, with washer and dryer allowed in the home.
For getting around, 57 St-7 Av is about 4 minutes on foot for the N, Q, R and W, and 59 St-Columbus Circle is about 6 minutes for the 1, A, B, C and D. Morton Williams is about 3 minutes away for groceries, and Carnegie Hall is about 3 minutes. The Museum of Modern Art is about 9 minutes.
Because this is a condominium, the ownership framework differs from a co-op. It's worth reviewing the building's rules and expenses before you make an offer.
