Located on the corner of 80th Street and Columbus Avenue and across the street from Central Park lies The Orleans, a recognizable landmark also known as the Upper West Side's second oldest surviving tall building after The Dakota. Originally conceived as The Hotel Orleans in 1898 by Buchman & Deisler, this famous building was transformed three years ago into a full-service condominium with 26 residences. And now, for the first time in its 119-year history, four and five-bedroom units are available.
New to market is corner unit 3E, a 2,512-square foot home featuring views of Central Park and the Museum of Natural History, prewar details, and an expansive 8-room layout adapted by architect Elizabeth Roberts. The asking price is a fitting $5.5M.
