Description

PURE PERFECTION ON THE PARK

Welcome to apartment 305 - a truly exceptional and rare home that has it all: enormous lofty space, storage galore, great light and incredible location, all beautifully wrapped up in a completely and meticulously renovated 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom residence at the Alden.

EIGHT OVERSIZED WINDOWS DIRECTLY FACING CENTRAL PARK, present an impressive view of gorgeous treetops and invite natural light to stream through, creating a calming oasis from the city life below. The airy and open layout of the apartment combined with the reclaimed white oak floors and super-luxe modern fixtures and finishes, makes you almost forget that you are in a century-old building.

As soon as you step foot into this luxurious home, you are greeted by a grand foyer and a massive 8’x6’ walk-in closet, large enough to hide strollers, bikes and scooters.

The foyer flows seamlessly into the Great Room - a sprawling 30-foot-wide loft-like space with a wall of windows showcasing the light and treetops of the park. This living/dining space leads directly into a serene den that can serve as a media room, office, or even a fourth bedroom with full en-suite bath.

Open to the living/dining room is a designer chef’s kitchen that perfectly blends aesthetic appeal with function. Top-of-the-line appliances by Sub-Zero and Viking, Celador countertops, marble backsplash and custom cabinetry give the kitchen a clean, streamlined look, while also providing ample storage.

The cherry on top is a bonus pantry, neatly tucked away behind a pocket door, with additional storage and wine fridge.

The primary suite is quietly split from the other bedrooms. It enjoys lovely eastern light and faces Central Park. It features a massive, outfitted walk-in dressing room with custom storage and an en-suite Glassos Crystal marble bath with double sink, step-in glass shower and radiant heat floors.

Two additional bedrooms line the west wing of the apartment - both with renovated marble baths and custom closets. A cozy nook in between the bedrooms can be used as a play area or office space.

Additional features include new Skyline windows, Central AC, W/D, reverse osmosis water filter, ample storage and custom closets and hardware throughout.

The historic Alden, known for its stunning facade and luxurious lobby, is a full-service, white glove building designed by the renowned architect Emery Roth in 1926. Amenities include a spectacular landscaped roof terrace with panoramic views of Central Park and the midtown skyline, a parking garage accessed from within the building, full time doorman, concierge, on-site management, a bicycle room and laundry room.

This is a well-run co-op with strong financials and no flip tax. Pieds-a-terre and pets are allowed.

Located on the prime corner of Central Park West and 82nd Street, the Alden is at the epicenter of the Upper West Side - directly across from Central Park, close to the Museum of Natural History and a wonderful selection of shops and restaurants. Transportation is easy with the B/C subway and crosstown express bus just one block away.

With its immaculate renovation, fabulous location, great views and layout, this home is pure perfection.
