Description

FASHION YOUR OWN ST. URBAN DREAM HOME

In 1906, the revered architect, Robert T. Lyons, created his Beaux Arts masterpiece on Central Park West. Now, it's your turn to craft your own residential masterpiece in the coveted St. Urban, one of the most esteemed and highly regarded cooperatives on Central Park West. Here is the rare chance for you to make your own customized home - right by Central Park - by pursuing a refined renovation of this large maisonette residence. With your creative vision, and with your contractor's craftsmanship, a stupendous, pre-war home can be realized. Here, the ceilings soar 10-1/2 feet up, and the flexible layout may provide for multiple concepts. (Please refer to the alternate floor plan for one idea.) The windows are large, the scale is regal, the building allows in-home washer/dryers (case by case), and this is the first time this residence has been offered for sale in over 48 years. Sweetly situated in the famous St. Urban, this gracious maisonette home enjoys prime first floor proximity to the building's gorgeous lobby, and enviable access to the building's world famous "front yard" - Central Park. With a location that comes with bragging rights, this rare residence enjoys the top-shelf services of the amenity-rich, pet friendly St. Urban: Full service staff, indoor basketball court, health club, iconic porte-cochere entry, playroom, laundry, storage, and bike rooms -close to a plethora of easy transportation options and near every dining, shopping, and cultural destination. In 1906, Robert T. Lyons had a vision of grandeur and grace on Central Park West. Now, it's your turn -- your historic opportunity awaits. (Pied a terre purchases and guarantors are not permitted here.)
