Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Nest Seekers LLC.
The facade is prewar, and the building dates to 1910 with seven stories and 49 units. The listing describes 478 Central Park West as one of the few condominiums with this address, and that location is the first thing I'd tell a buyer to picture. Prewar buildings like this one often appeal to buyers who value defined rooms and architectural detail, though the layout and condition of the apartment count for more than age alone.
Apartment 1-A is 1,525 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The listing says the interior has been renovated and upgraded throughout. Central air is in the unit, and the entrance foyer gives the front door a defined place to land before the rooms begin. A washer and dryer sit inside the apartment, so laundry never requires leaving home.
The building has an elevator, which matters for groceries and for moving furniture in and out. There's also storage space, and pets are allowed. For a home this size, having storage in the building itself is a practical thing to ask about early in your search.
Central Park is about 1 minute on foot, which makes the apartment easy to enjoy on a daily basis. The Cathedral Pkwy (110 St) stop for the B and C trains is about 3 minutes away.
