SPECIAL: BIG PRE-WAR HOME ON COVETED SOUTH-EAST CORNER GIVING TROPHY PARK & SKYLINE VIEWS


LUCKY: CREATE YOUR EPIC DREAM HOME RIGHT HERE w/CENTRAL AC & IN-HOME LAUNDRY (Board Allows Case-By-Case)


How many prime Manhattan homeowners can claim to have approximately 42-feet directly facing Central Park? RARE is the residence that can stake this audacious claim. SPECIAL is the property gifted with six windows fully fronting the world’s greatest park (and several more windows facing South with skyline views). LUCKY is the owner who gets to create their heroic home here.


With a Central Park West address whose location comes with bragging rights, this amazing Alden opportunity allows you to fashion your own park facing dream home. Offering a trophy position in its full service building with big-park, big-sky, and big skyline views, this rambling residence enjoys bright, world-class exposures and an impressive scale. Above you are high, beamed ceilings, underfoot are hardwood floors, and all around you is space and light -- bright, renovation-ready, stretch-out space with stupendous views day and night.


Need four bedrooms? How about three? Need an office? Want three great bathrooms? Open Kitchen? Walk-in Closets? Central AC? In-home laundry? A wet bar? With your vision (and the board's blessing), a custom residence that speaks to your heart and accommodates your big life can be realized. This is your chance to combine two contiguous apartments -- to make a stretch-out stunner that showcases its five-star perch directly facing Central Park. Here, at the coveted corner of West 82nd and Central Park West, the world is your oyster, and a rare front row seat onto the world's most famous park is available.


The Alden is an Emery Roth designed, pet-friendly building with a seasoned, full service staff, resident superintendent, glorious park-view roof garden, and building bike/laundry/storage rooms. With Central Park as your front yard, and every area cultural, dining, shopping, fitness and entertainment destination nearby (not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options right outside the door), life here is fun, convenient, and exciting.


Come for the space, stay for the views, and create your grand, gracious park-view dream home.
