Description

9A is a sun-filled and spacious 2BR home on the park with elegant pre-war details throughout at the iconic 55 Central Park West, an exquisite Art Deco building that combines the best of old and new. Upon entering its oversized gallery that anchors the entertaining and sleeping areas, step down into a gracious living/dining room with 9’ 5" ceilings, direct sunset views west, northern exposure and side views of Central Park. The generous primary bedroom suite features two windowed en suite baths, including one with shower, and ample walk-in closets. The second bedroom doubles as a library/den. There is a powder room off the kitchen.

This home has triple exposure, original herringbone floors, extraordinarily large windows, elegant archways, and high beamed ceilings throughout. 55 Central Park West, designed by Swartz & Gross in 1929, has earned awards for its exquisitely restored Art Deco lobby.

Aesthetically, the building also boasts an exceptional landscaped rooftop terrace open to all residents with panoramic views, sundeck, vegetable garden, and wet bar.

The building maintains a full-service staff, including two full-time doormen, a live-in Resident Manager, and a Building Link Communication system. Other amenities include a laundry room, bike room, package room, children’s playroom, and private storage units. Ideally located across from Tavern on the Green in Central Park and within proximity to Lincoln Center, this location is abound with shops and restaurants and has easy access to bus and subway transportation.
