Description

Spectacular and sun-drenched 2-bedroom corner apartment with sweeping views of Central Park and the Midtown skyline! This gracious Central Park West residence with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms enjoys abundant natural light from southern and eastern exposures, through 10 enormous picture windows, which are the largest windows of any prewar cooperative on Central Park West.

A spacious entryway with coat closet leads into an oversized gallery area and an expansive 27'9" x 16' living/dining room. This sweeping and loft like corner entertaining space features 9' beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, oak floors and custom built-ins.

Six huge picture windows capture the Park and stunning architecture along Central Park South - with views stretching down to the Empire State building. The eat-in kitchen is located across the gallery behind pocket doors and awaits your customization. The lovely and oversized-facing master suite presents direct Park vistas from both the bedroom and private windowed bath, which also overlooks Central Park.

An entire wall of closets provides ample storage in the master bedroom. The second bedroom/library is accessed via French doors off the gallery and opens to the living/dining room through pocket doors. Stunning Southern city views overlook a distinctive landmark building and historic townhouses lining West 83rd Street.

With its large closet and custom built-ins the second bedroom can also easily serve as a library. Adjacent is a second full bath, located off the gallery, for convenience as a guest powder room as well. Other highlights include a full-home sound system, a washer dryer and thru-wall air conditioning.

Built in 1926, The Bolivar is a full-service cooperative offering residents a beautifully-landscaped roof deck, common laundry, bike storage and private storage.

The building is located on a tranquil corner at West 83rd Street and Central Park West, near transportation, fine schools, and the best of the Upper West Side's shops and restaurants.

The building permits pied-a-terre's and there is a 1% flip tax paid by the buyer at the time of closing.
