About This Property
Rising 1,000 feet above Manhattan and clearing 220 Central Park South for completely UNOBSTRUCTED views, never-lived-in Residence 97E is the highest E-line home available with EXTRA tall ceilings. A true mansion in the sky with soaring 13'6" ceilings.
The grand living and great room is the heart of the home, where wide floor-to-ceiling, sound-insulated glass frames unobstructed Central Park views to the north. Rising well above neighboring 220 Central Park South, the residence enjoys full, uninterrupted park panoramas, while sweeping eastern and southern sightlines capture the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty.
Adjacent is an expansive north- and east-facing corner eat-in chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry by Smallbone of Devizes, stone slab countertops, and integrated Miele appliances.
Privately positioned in the southeast corner, the primary suite offers two generous walk-in closets and a luxurious five-fixture en-suite bath, with iconic views extending south past the Empire State Building to the Statue of Liberty. The three additional bedrooms each feature their own private en-suite bathroom and dramatic open views.
Residents of Central Park Tower enjoy exclusive access to the Central Park Club, a 50,000-square-foot private amenity collection spanning three levels. Highlights include a 100th-floor grand ballroom, private dining, lounge, wine cellar, and cigar room; a 16th-floor health club featuring a 63-foot indoor saltwater pool, full spa, squash court, and half-court basketball; and a 14th-floor outdoor terrace complete with a 60-foot pool, sun deck, and private cabanas. White-glove services include a 24-hour doorman and concierge.
Ideally situated along Manhattan's prestigious Billionaires' Row, Central Park Tower stands as the tallest residential building in the world, granting immediate access to Central Park, Fifth Avenue shopping, Michelin-starred dining, and Carnegie Hall.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
The kitchen has integrated Miele appliances and a dishwasher, along with custom Smallbone of Devizes cabinetry and stone slab countertops. It sits in a corner position with north- and east-facing exposures, so it reads as part of daily life rather than a separate work zone. The adjoining living room is the main room, with 13 feet 6 inches of ceiling height and wide, floor-to-ceiling sound-insulated glass facing north over Central Park. High ceilings give a room more volume and flexibility in how you furnish it, though height alone doesn't make a floor plan work, so it's worth looking at how the rooms connect.
The primary suite is in the southeast corner, with two walk-in closets and a five-fixture en-suite bath. The three additional bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom, so every bedroom has a private bath. That layout suits a household that wants separation without giving up a shared living space.
Service here includes a doorman who works around the clock and a concierge, along with an elevator, laundry in the building, storage space, cold storage and a bike room. Residents also have a gym, an indoor pool, a sauna, a spa, a steam room, a game room, a children's playroom and a roof deck. Residents also have access to the Central Park Club, a 50,000-square-foot amenity collection across three levels. Pets are allowed.
Central Park is about 3 minutes away on foot, and the 57 St-7 Av station is about 2 minutes away for the N, Q, R and W. Carnegie Hall is about 2 minutes on foot, and Morton Williams is about 3 minutes away for groceries.
