Description
From sunrise over the Reservoir to the evening lights of the Manhattan skyline, the views from this remarkable home are nothing short of extraordinary. Positioned high above Central Park West and wrapped in oversized windows, the residence captures a sweeping panorama of New York's most iconic landscape....Homes with direct views over Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir rarely come to market. This exceptional three-bedroom corner residence at 279 Central Park West offers precisely that.
From sunrise over the Reservoir to the evening lights of the Manhattan skyline, the views from this remarkable home are nothing short of extraordinary. Positioned high above Central Park West and wrapped in oversized windows, the residence captures a sweeping panorama of New York's most iconic landscape.
At the heart of the home is a spectacular curved corner living room, where Central Park unfolds as a living canvas in every season. The generous proportions and dramatic outlook create a setting equally suited to large-scale entertaining and quiet moments overlooking the city. An adjoining dining area seamlessly extends the entertaining space while enjoying the same breathtaking vistas.
The windowed eat-in kitchen combines elegance and functionality with marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and premium appliances.
Privately situated apart from the entertaining spaces, the primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with side Central Park views, a custom walk-in closet, and a spacious marble bathroom featuring a soaking tub, separate rain shower, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms are equally well appointed, each offering abundant natural light, custom closets, and en-suite baths—a rare and highly desirable feature.
Additional amenities include a powder room, in-unit washer and dryer, a home automation system controlling lighting, shades, and sound, Google Nest climate controls with independently zoned living and dining areas, and exceptional storage throughout.
Designed by renowned architect Costas Kondylis, 279 Central Park West is a premier full-service condominium offering 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a fitness center, indoor and outdoor children's play areas, private storage, and bicycle storage.
Perfectly positioned directly across from Central Park and moments from the American Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Center, and the Upper West Side's finest restaurants and boutiques, this exceptional residence represents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished home along one of Manhattan's most coveted park-front addresses.
