Description

THE RESIDENCE
Only once in a lifetime does a legendary trophy penthouse come on the market such as this extraordinary four-bedroom triplex with a tremendous terrace in The Oliver Cromwell, one of the most prestigious prewar buildings along Central Park West. Just bring your architect and contractor to make your iconic 4 – 5 bedroom castle in the sky a reality. With a majestic and mesmerizing layout on the 27th, 28th and 29th floors, this jewel in the crown boasts breathtaking park and city skyline panoramas and light from enormous single-pane picture windows throughout, facing east, south and north.

You will fall in love with the enormous and magical terrace floating over Central Park, soaring eleven-foot ceilings, four-bedrooms, four bathrooms, and unparalleled prewar grandeur. The combination of this magnificent residence, along with the finest white-glove building and the most sought-after address, make this mansion in the clouds a dream come true for the lucky owner.
Upon entering this incomparable, one-of-a-kind residence, you will immediately be enraptured by the massive living room that is perfect for sumptuous entertaining, with more wrap-around windows in the living room than you ever hoped for. The dazzling terrace on the second floor creates a dreamy outdoor oasis that features striking original architectural monuments, singularly unique than any other terrace in the building or on Central Park West.

From the terrace, the park and city vistas are awe-inspiring – it is perfect for entertaining, dining, relaxing or simply enjoying the astonishing sunrises and sunsets. Adjoining the huge living room is a fantastic den that easily transforms into a 4th bedroom, and the stunning formal dining room is served by a renovated windowed eat-in kitchen to satisfy the most discriminating culinarian. On the second floor there are two beautiful bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, and on the third floor is another luxurious bedroom, dressing area and bathroom.

Just a few other highlights of this monumental residence include exquisite oak floors, new windows, central air-conditioning, a washer/dryer, wonderful closets, and so much more.
