The Ardsley at 320 Central Park West #16A

For the connoisseur of Central Park, nothing rivals the inexpressibly pleasing Reservoir and aerial panoramas of this rare corner classic 7 housed on the 16th Floor of the Ardsley, designed and developed with great distinction by Emery Roth. This pristine residence is graced by ubiquitous sun, graciously scaled rooms and possibly the highest ratio of window to wall Park frontage of any CPW prewar building. All windows are new, historically accurate and double-glazed with fine period-style mechanicals. Entering its private landing and broad center gallery, one is instantly captivated by a lavish Park and Reservoir tableau filling the entire east wall of a stunning living room. Completing the superb 60 foot entertainment area is a splendid formal dining room. The master bedroom suite, currently used as a study, offers sweeping Park views from oversized corner windows. Two more BR suites are located in separate wings. Equaling the Park in allure but exceeding it in utility is a large, well-equipped eat-in kitchen, accommodating the needs of the most discerning chef. Added amenities include a powder room, high ceilings, top-flight tenants’ gym, bike room, children’s playroom, laundry room and impeccable white glove service. The Ardsley lobby has been brilliantly restored to its original elegance. The beauty of this apartment, as one more eloquent has said, overpower[s] the resolutions of the firm and the reasonings of the wise and restores the old to sensibility. Don’t miss it.
