Unit 3C at 225 Park Place is a gracious winged two bedroom, one bathroom residence nestled in the heart of prestigious Prospect Heights. Perched on the third floor of this distinguished elevator building, this is a corner unit offering dual exposures and windows in every room, a rare luxury that fills the home with natural light throughout the day.
Tucked comfortable into the corner, 3C opens into a long entry foyer appointed with three generous closets, keeping coats, shoes, and umbrellas elegantly out of sight. A stunning curved archway then ushers you into the heart of the home: a living room of remarkable proportion. With ample space for a home office, multiple seating arrangements, and sweeping views over the treetops of Park Place, this room is as functional as it is breathtaking. Parquet floors with walnut inlay complete the picture.
The primary bedroom is more than a masterpiece, it is a sanctuary. Easily accommodating a king size bed, a chaise lounge, a dedicated home office area, and dressers, it also offers two closets and a sense of calm that is increasingly rare. The spa inspired bathroom, shared only with a quiet hallway, features a freestanding deep soaking tub, a fully tiled walk in shower, a frosted window, and generous room to move, a true retreat of privacy.
The second bedroom, with its glass paneled door and dual exposures, offers flexibility as a guest room, private office, or library. The dedicated dining room flows from the kitchen and comfortably seats six to eight. The windowed kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with a five burner gas range, nine drawers for effortless organization, and abundant cabinet storage.
Pre-war elegance greets you from the moment you enter the grand lobby, where soaring ceilings, art deco finishes, and inviting seating create a sense of arrival. Newspapers line the credenzas alongside your awaiting packages, and neighbors pause to catch up in an atmosphere that feels genuinely like home. The elevator is a pleasure unto itself, richly wood paneled and whisper quiet, delivering you smoothly to your floor.
Recent building improvements reflect a commitment to quality: Local Law 11 work has been completed, the lobby has been refreshed with new artwork, sconces, and furnishings, the elevator has been fully re-tiled and serviced, and a Butterfly intercom system allows for seamless remote access from your phone.
Pets, subletting, and pied a terre use are all warmly welcomed with approval. The building is further enhanced by a live in superintendent, two shared courtyards, a large laundry room, a communal book library, and storage available for rent, pending availability.
Completing this exceptional offering is a monthly maintenance of just $1,476, remarkably competitive for a residence of this size, character, and location.
