Description

Fully renovated 2 bed/2 bath + office, with an in-unit washer and dryer, awaits you in one of the most coveted buildings on Central Park West! The space was reimagined in 2015 and has been well-maintained. The renovation restored prewar details and added modern functionality by upgrading the electrical systems and plumbing behind the walls. Enter the apartment through the 1920s inspired foyer, where you will find three closets designed to empty your storage unit. One is a double height coat closet, the second is a linen closet, and the third is a double depth closet.

All three closets have built-in adjustable shelving. Cook a perfect meal in the bright kitchen, featuring quartz countertops and custom cabinetry. The appliances are made by Bertazzoni, Miele, Fisher and Paykel, and Bosch. LED lighting overhead and under-cabinet lighting give you a perfect view of your fresh ingredients from the Sunday 79th Street Greenmarket as you dice and saute. The marble master bath was redesigned with an oversized shower, radiant heat floors and a custom vanity.

The second bathroom has an extra-deep soaking tub, radiant heat floors, and a custom vanity with a built-in, pull-out step. Both bathrooms have baseboard height dimmable LED nightlights. Both bedrooms are nicely sized and have custom built-in closets. The master bedroom has built-in drawers, and built-in cabinetry around the oversized north facing window.

Lastly, tucked next to the living room is the windowed office space every NYC professional covets with a built-in desk, drawers and cantilever shelving to keep the dining room table clear of computers and other work-related accoutrements. The Alden was designed as an apartment hotel by the renowned architect Emery Roth and opened by Bing and Bing in 1926-1927. The 15-story building was built in 1925 and converted into a cooperative in 1984.

The historic Alden is a landmarked building, boasting a spectacular lobby with 24-hour doormen and concierge, beautiful planted and furnished roof deck with stunning views of Central Park, parking garage accessed from within the building, and bicycle room. The apartments range in size from studios up to five bedrooms . Hallways were recently renovated, and it has an on-site resident manager, a live-in super and a laundry room.
