101 Central Park West #3C

Enchanting Central Park panoramas illuminate an archetypical classic 7, 3-bedroom home at 101 CPW, designed with panache by the eminent firm of Schwartz and Gross. Spanning almost 60 feet of Park frontage, this splendid residence is favored by ubiquitous sun, high ceilings, generous rooms – four on the Park – and consummate white glove service provided by a doorman and full lobby staff. From an attended elevator leading into a lovely travertine landing, one enters a handsome center gallery with radial access to all major rooms of the apartment. Beautiful Park tableaux fill the broad eastern wall of the 30-foot living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room/family room is of exceptional size. A wonderful, professionally fitted eat-in kitchen, open to the Park, contains custom cabinetry, a Dacor cooktop, Thermador convection double oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Bosch dishwasher. A staff room with washer/dryer and bath is adjacent. In a separate wing reside 3 generous Park-view bedrooms, one of which, via an option of the plan, could also serve as a library off the central gallery. The 24-foot master bedroom suite, offering sweeping Park views, includes a dressing room, two enormous walk-in closets and an oversized boudoir bath. A large storage bin accompanies this property as does a state-of-the-art gym for shareholders and bike storage. The plan affords grand style entertaining as well as every domestic amenity of space, utility, storage, dining and quiet enjoyment for which Arthur Schwartz and Simon Gross were duly celebrated. These architects had as significant an impact on the persona of CPW through their 8 existing structures as did the renowned Emery Roth. Evoking the grandeur of a Renaissance palace, 101 CPW is ‘a classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness,’ a spirit it continues to convey with architectural elan at an impeccable location, setting the standard for elegance on Central Park West. 3% flip tax paid by buyer.
