25 CENTRAL Park W #12P

Full Central Park View 1Bedroom / 1.5 Bath Duplex at The CENTURY If you care about quiet scale and natural light (and perfect Park views) combined with old world elegance, residence 12P at 25 Central Park West is a must see. For primary living, pied-à-terre needs or as an investment, The CENTURY has easily outperformed the larger market with robust gains over this past, LOST, decade of value stagnation. The layout of 12P offers maximum utility, equally ideal for intimate privacy and gracious entertaining - the square footage is split between 2 levels - and sits facing east over Central Park ..... the photos tell the whole story. The main communal space of the apartment, step-down/sunken, is large and accommodates proper living and dining areas without encroaching on each other. There is a powder room for guests on the lower level maintaining privacy for the primary bedroom upstairs (only 1 of 2 P-line units that have this extra half bath). The upper level is an oversized bedroom suite with a huge walk-in closet and windowed full bath (more park views). The renovations done by the current owner are not just tasteful but true to the building's Art Deco bones. The bathrooms have been meticulously clad in marble, the kitchen opened for modern living needs and the stunning light fixtures are reminiscent of John D. Rockefeller's private offices at 30 Rock. The meeting of early 20 th century , prewar charm with contemporary upgrades is sincere when describing apt. 12P, and not an agent's cliché sales line. Oh, have to also mention that there is an entrance on the upper level as well so need to lug furniture or heavy items up the stairs to the bedroom, just enter on that level which is a significant convenience worth noting. The apartment reads calm, curated and comfortably livable. Gas and electricity are included in the common charges. The apartment itself and the views are paramount to this property's appeal but of equal importance is the history of the building. The CENTURY was built in 1931, takes up the entire Central Park frontage between 62nd and 63rd streets and is an Art Deco Landmark. It is also a condominium, the only prewar condo below 92nd street , and "smack dab" on the most desirable stretch of CPW, in the sixties perfectly convenient to Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center - two very important distinctions when determining valuations. Building services and amenities include white- glove attended entrances with concierge on CPW, West 62nd, and West 63rd. The building also features a top-notch resident manager, a private landscaped courtyard, bike storage, and storage bins. Additional amenities include a laundry room, a newly reappointed fitness center, a golf simulator, a dog-washing station, a children's play area, a media room, and private office rooms. Apartment 12P at The CENTURY is where provenance, quiet elegance and modern practical convenience converge delivering undeniable prestige. Please note there is a capital assessment of $166.75 per month and a special assessment of $32.95 per month. Some photos have been virtually staged.
