COVETED LINE - PRIZED FLOOR - 1ST OFFERING IN 50+ YEARS
RENOVATION-READY RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR'S ITEM
This Prasada opportunity happens only once in a generation. Last available more than half a century ago, this important New York home -- offering Central Park views from nearly every room -- is in the coveted B line and on the treasured eighth floor. A corner residence, this home offers a jaw-dropping 47-feet of direct Central Park frontage from its ultra-grand living and dining rooms alone. All of the bedrooms also offer views of the park. With the vision of your design team, this rare, renovation-ready rambler -- with ceilings soaring over 10-1/2 feet high -- can become an even brighter star than it already is.
A gorgeous manned elevator lifts you from the beautiful vaulted-ceilinged lobby to one of Gotham's most lovely landings. The handsome windowed hall guides you to your front door. Behind it, past your grand foyer gallery, an iconic, majestic home unfolds beautifully before you. The over-scaled living room and dining room are separated by pocketed French doors, and offer this massive home's signature, heroic Central Park and skyline views -- and the greatest Thanksgiving Day parade perch views in the city. Light, space, and views reign supreme here in these big rooms. The dining room boasts two exposures and features original turn-of-the-century wood-beamed ceilings and panelling -- and its dramatic bay window onto the park. The lofty expanse is anchored by a decorative fireplace in the huge living room. The large, windowed, eat-in kitchen offers a butler's pantry, space for laundry and a perfect pass-through layout. Off of the gracious bedroom hall (whose impressive scale made it the perfect impromptu basketball court for the prior owners), are the three well-scaled bedrooms, plus a service room (4th bedroom). The primary bedroom -- which was two separate bedrooms -- enjoys an unparalleled epic scale and ensuite bath. Both guest bedrooms are big -- one offers another bay window with Central Park peeks -- and are served by the hall's guest bath. With original herringbone and parquet floors throughout, this is indeed a fabulous find and an exceptional opportunity.
With Central Park as your front yard, with a seasoned, round-the-clock staff, and with a landmarked 1905, trophy address in a world-class location, a Prasada life is well-served and wonderful. With supreme proximity to every area cultural, dining, shopping, entertainment, and fitness destination -- easy living (with gym, bike, and storage rooms) awaits. This flexible, grand, estate-condition residence typifies precisely the attributes for which the Prasada is best known: A stunning landmarked exterior, a stupendous location, a top-tier staff, storybook views, and a grand, gorgeous layout merge to make this sprawling residence a stand-out stunner.
Welcome to space - welcome to light - welcome to views - and welcome to your next creative opportunity. Your rare Prasada rambler awaits.
