Description

This magnificent renovated three-bedroom corner duplex apartment at The Dakota showcases direct Central Park views and is in perfect move-in condition.

A gracious entrance foyer with 13 ft high ceilings leads to a generously proportioned living room featuring beautifully restored plaster moldings, double mahogany doors, oak flooring and a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by an original mahogany mantle. This expansive living room is flooded with natural light due to the floor-to-ceiling windows facing Central Park. The living room flows seamlessly into the corner library which has light streaming in from its East and North exposures making it a perfect space for entertaining.

Off the library is a gracious master bedroom and a five-fixture oversized renovated marble bathroom.

On the perfectly laid out lower level is a family room conveniently adjacent to the dining area and an open chef's kitchen. The beautifully appointed state-of-the-art kitchen showcases a six-burner Thermador stove and double oven, a double-wide Subzero fridge, Bosch dishwasher and Calcutta marble countertops and backsplashes with a large breakfast bar making it the ideal area to congregate. The two bedrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows both boast custom storage cabinetry providing an abundance of closet space.

There are two renovated bathrooms downstairs both of which have Waterworks fixtures and Urban Archaeology tiles. Chilewich flooring throughout the lower level adds to the feeling of comfort throughout this flawlessly designed residence.

Additionally, this apartment boasts central air conditioning, a washer/dryer and a Creston system.

The Dakota was designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh and completed in 1884. It is one of the world's greatest and most renowned residential buildings.

Its monumental form, embellished with ornate finials and gothic gables, makes it one of New York's most iconic structures. A unique gas lit entry and enchanting center courtyard add to its enduring charm. The building offers residents the highest levels of privacy, service and security.

A brand new fitness center was completed in 2018. There is a 3% flip tax payable by the buyer.
