The skillfully designed great room features a chef’s kitchen, a den and a dining room. Crafted from what had been the kitchen, maid’s room and dining room, incredible use is made of the space affording both casual and formal dining, and comfortable seating for guests as delicious meals are prepared in the enormous kitchen. No detail has been overlooked from the custom cabinetry with beautiful glass and steel detail, to the top tier appliances including a Sub Zero refrigerator with two adjacent drawers affording additional refrigerator and freezer space, a Thermador double oven and range top, two Miele dishwashers, two sinks and an Electrolux washer/dryer. The exceptional attention to detail continues in the adjacent powder room where exquisite glass tiles and silver leaf walls echo the decor of the kitchen.

The second bathroom is both elegant and playful with white wainscoting and a clawfoot tub. The apartment with its west and south facing views is exceptionally bright and cheerful, and has through-the-wall air conditioners throughout. The scale of the apartment lends itself well to conversion to three bedrooms if desired. An alternate floor plan is provided converting the dining and den portions of the great room into a generously sized bedroom while maintaining more than ample kitchen and dining space. 239 Central Park West is a full service, pet friendly building built in 1926 with attended elevators and a gym.
