Description

Perched high above and perfectly centered on Central Park South, this meticulously renovated top floor residence offers superb finishes and mesmerizing Central Park views as far as the eye can see. Designed by award-winning architect Thomas Leeser and modernized by a renowned British furniture designer, this sophisticated and pin drop quiet retreat seamlessly blends organic modern materials with classic pre-war details, creating an experience that exudes luxury and serenity.

Upon first entry to the exquisitely crafted foyer, you’re welcomed by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling reclaimed teak wood door, adorned with luminous handcrafted shell inlay, that pivots open to reveal a loft like great room with quintessential, pre-war, high beamed ceilings, bleached oak floors, a working wood burning fireplace, restored moldings, honed resin doors and perpetual postcard views of iconic Central Park. A second custom reclaimed teak inlaid door pivots to reveal a windowed, state of the art custom Valcucine kitchen, boasting integrated Miele appliances, sleek glass and titanium cabinetry, and handmade polished concrete tiles, infusing warmth and texture into the elegant but highly functional minimalist space.

Beyond the great room, tall custom made white resin doors lead to two bedrooms, each with its own spa-quality, windowed bathroom.

The spacious primary bedroom suite is a serene sanctuary offering magnificent front and center Central Park views from two oversized picture windows. An entire wall of custom fitted closets hidden behind ancient reclaimed teak doors provides abundant storage. The adjoining primary bathroom is a dream oasis, with a poured resin sink, and a deep soaking tub by WETSTYLE Cube Collection that literally overlooks Central Park.

The equally exquisite guest bedroom enjoys gorgeous southern light and features fully fitted closets and a bright, windowed bathroom with a custom made vanity and oversized glass enclosed walk-in shower with a rain shower head.

Additional amenities include multi-zoned central air conditioning through linear diffusers and a vented Miele washer and dryer set. Featured in the book, "Window on the Park: New York’s Most Prestigious Properties on Central Park," 128 Central Park South is an iconic pre-war, limestone clad building on "Billionaire’s Row," crafted in an Italianate Renaissance-Palazzo-style. Building amenities include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and recently renovated public spaces.

This pet friendly condop is financially sound and responsibly managed. There is no flip tax, and subletting, pieds- -terre, and foreign buyers are all welcome. And of course, there’s the premier Central Park location, just moments from Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, MOMA, The Plaza Hotel, Bergdorf Goodman, and the shops at Columbus Circle.

Don’t miss this opportunity to wake up to the most extraordinary view with the best that New York has to offer right at your doorstep. Turn-key perfection!
