About This Property
A true home on Central Park West!
This spacious and gracious, over 4400 square foot, corner prewar home has 60 feet of Central Park frontage and is a dream come true! Beautiful, direct Central Park views from 3 major rooms and side Park views from 3 more rooms, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom residence at 55 Central Park West offers grand living and entertaining spaces and plenty of private areas as well.
Off a semi-private landing, enter into the dramatic, square gallery with a stunning Park view. Directly ahead, the grand sunken living room is filled with natural light from the enormous picture window facing the Park. A corner bedroom facing north and east with gorgeous views can be left as is or opened to the living room to create a double living space with beyond enviable views!
The formal dining room blends classic prewar proportions with a modern aesthetic. A sculptural lighting fixture and contemporary design create an elegant setting for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. The adjoining renovated kitchen offers generous cabinetry, with a separate casual dining area/office for everyday meals. This area can be made more open or left as-is for more formal entertaining.
There are two separate bedroom wings, maximizing privacy. On the south side of the home, the primary suite faces Central Park and boasts an oversized bathroom with double vanities and a view of the Park. Copious closets complete this room, although an additional large bedroom and bathroom next to the primary provide opportunities for more closets or dressing spaces, as well as a library, office or guest room.
On the north side of the home, there are 3- 4 more bedrooms with Park and side Park views, all generously sized and proportioned. In addition, there is a large den with side Park views which has access to a kitchenette/laundry room. This apartment is like a sun flooded suburban home, but in the best location- Central Park West!
Additional super special features include through wall air-conditioning, enormous new double-paned picture windows, stunning solid hard wood floors, and 5.5 windowed bathrooms!

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.
Sixty feet of Central Park frontage run along this corner home at 55 Central Park West. The listing puts the apartment at about 4,400 square feet with five bedrooms, and direct Park views come from three major rooms, with side Park views from three more.
The sunken living room sits just beyond the square gallery, and its enormous picture window faces the Park.
The primary suite is on the south side and faces Central Park. On an open horizon, a south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun at the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 10 hours at the spring equinox. Nearby buildings can block that light.
The formal dining room has a sculptural light fixture that suits both quiet dinners and larger gatherings. The renovated kitchen connects to a separate casual dining area that can also work as an office, and it can be opened up or left as is for more formal entertaining.
The two bedroom wings are separate, so you won't have to pass through one to reach the other, which gives the household more privacy. The corner bedroom faces north and east and can stay a bedroom or open into the living room. A large den with side Park views has access to a kitchenette and laundry room, and there's a washer and dryer in the unit.
The building is an elevator cooperative with 109 units and a roof deck, and pets are allowed. The roof terrace has an outdoor kitchen, furniture and panoramic Park and City views. The Central Park entrance is about one minute on foot, and the 66 St-Lincoln Center station on the 1 train is about five minutes away.
