Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Serhant.
The upper level has an entertaining terrace of about 600 square feet, and the wraparound terrace on the lower level runs roughly 100 feet along Central Park West and 84th Street. Both are private, and the upper terrace takes in panoramic views of Central Park, Midtown and the Upper West Side. A terrace that size changes how you entertain, especially when it opens straight off the formal dining room.
The lower level is built for hosting. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace and oversized windows, and the formal dining room connects to a fully equipped butler's pantry before it opens onto the terrace. The kitchen pairs premium appliances with a vented range, two dishwashers, stone countertops and an adjoining breakfast area. You'll find that the pantry and kitchen give the dining room a lot of support when guests are over.
Upstairs, the primary suite has a coffered ceiling, oversized casement windows over Central Park, and a windowed marble bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, a separate shower and a dressing area with plenty of closet space. A second butler's pantry is on this level too. The marble-clad atrium has radiant heated floors and could work as a sitting room, office, gym or sunroom. A private elevator reaches this floor.
Most rooms have ceilings of 10 feet 9 inches.
This is a full-service prewar building from 1930, with an elevator and an Art Deco lobby. The staff is part of what makes it feel like a classic address, and the solid oak floors and casement windows carry the prewar character through the rooms. Central air and motorized shades run throughout, and the in-unit washer and dryer keep laundry inside the apartment. Central Park is about 1 minute away on foot, the 86 St station for the B and C trains is about 4 minutes, and Zingone Brothers is about 4 minutes away for groceries.
