description

Picture Windows on the Park

Perfectly positioned on the ninth floor, floating over Central Park and the Onassis Reservoir - Apartment 9A at the historic Orwell House, 257 Central Park West on the south corner of 86th Street, is a truly glorious and rare offering. Graced with one of the most impressive open expanses on CPW - a salon 40 by 24 feet wide, with ten-foot ceilings and enormous picture windows - proportions that, frankly, do not exist in even the grandest buildings on the Park.

Sandwiched between two beautiful parks, the Upper West Side is one of the greenest spots in Manhattan. For that reason, it is a perennial favorite. The Upper West Side is relaxed, but never dull. There are plenty of low-key bars and restaurants to frequent along Amsterdam Avenue, and Broadway is an always-bustling commercial center. The wide, tree-lined streets still boast many mom-and-pop stores. Less posh than the Upper East Side, it is more easily accessible by public transportation, and real estate prices are just as, if not more, expensive.
