444 CENTRAL Park W #PH17B

The current layout of this home is a 1BR/1.5Bath. Please see alternate floorplan for a potenially 2nd "bedroom." High above the bustle of Manhattan rests a sanctuary - a peaceful, Pre-War home - a magical residence swimming in sunshine and graced by heavenly breezes courtesy of the tree-scape of Central Park. From this rare "Penthouse" residence's private, supremely scaled, irrigated, gardened wrap-around terrace, your jaw will drop and your heart will race as you engage in one of our city's most compelling vistas. Majestic park, big sky, and dramatic city skyline views envelop you, and your unencumbered, picture postcard, panoramic views span from verdant Central Park to the East (your front yard), and across the iconic city skyline to the South - soaring all the way to the Western cityscape. Originally designed by Boak & Paris in 1929, this enchanting home was created with easy living and gracious entertaining in mind. The over-scaled, corner living room's dual exposures offer a remarkable front row seat to those cinematic views. Surrounded by the unrivaled terrace, this grand room offers a wood burning fireplace, a dining area, room for a grand piano, and easy access to the al fresco dining space on the terrace's widest point. The windowed kitchen is fully renovated, and boasts stone counters, glass backsplash, stainless appliances, ample custom cabinets, and a pantry. The foyer is grand and welcoming, offers a marble powder room and a bar, and features arched entryways to the living room and the grand primary suite. With its en suite, classic, windowed marble bath, its golden Western exposure and Northern exposures, its plethora of closets, its terrific scale, and its own separate door to the remarkable wrap terrace, the primary bedroom suite is certainly deserving of the name. This resplendent residence, with its high ceilings, ample closets, washer/dryer, central ac, and its stylish disposition is a rare crowning jewel atop a prime Central Park West, full service building. Here, in this terraced treasure, tranquility and distinction are the themes. Surrounded by nature and world class vistas, life is both peaceful and inspiring.
