285 CENTRAL Park W #8E

An Opportunity of a lifetime! For the first time ever, this sprawling 10 room Beaux Arts treasure on Central Park West, is available to be restored into the home of your dreams. Unlike anything in the building, this expansive coop apartment boasts original architectural details such as mahogany and oak period moldings, French doors and parquet floors throughout. The entertaining space is showstopping. Ceilings soar at 10 1/2 feet and original bay windows look out onto dramatic city and side park views facing North and East. The double-sized living room and adjacent dining room are graced with an ornamental fireplace, butler's pantry and spacious eat-in kitchen. The grand corridor leading to the five bedrooms, spans the length of the apartment. The light-filled master bedroom with en-suite bath can be enlarged to make the most of its sweeping western city views. An adjacent bedroom is currently configured as a library/study and lined with bookshelves. The beloved St. Urban is an iconic Upper West Side building distinguished by its exuberant Beaux Arts architecture, mansard roof with copper lanterns and iconic cupola. The porte-cochere provides a unique convenience for shareholders to unload their packages. Designed in 1906 by Robert T. Lyons, 285 CPW has a 24-hour doorman, basketball court, new gym, laundry room, bike room, live-in resident manager, 13 stories and 56 apartments with only two apartments per landing. Pet friendly. 2% flip tax paid by buyer.
