The living room is truly exceptional. Framed by a dramatic curved corner window, it offers sweeping panoramic views directly over Central Park and the Midtown skyline simultaneously — a striking perspective that feels almost cinematic both day and night. Whether entertaining, dining, or simply sitting in the space, the apartment is constantly defined by light, openness, and the changing views of the Park and city beyond.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the expansive living and dining areas flow naturally together against this remarkable backdrop, creating an impressive setting for both large gatherings and intimate dinners. The residence is also in excellent condition, has been exceptionally well maintained, and offers abundant storage throughout.
The eat-in kitchen features marble countertops and top-of-the-line appliances, including a Wolf gas range, SubZero refrigerator and wine cooler, while still maintaining open sightlines toward the Park.
Privately positioned in its own wing, the primary suite enjoys side Park views, a custom walk-in closet, and a spacious marble bathroom with soaking tub, rain shower, and double vanity. The second and third bedrooms each feature custom closets, en-suite bathrooms, and their own side Park exposures — a rare feature in the building.
Additional features include a powder room, in-unit washer/dryer, central air conditioning, Savant home automation system for lighting, shades, and sound, as well as Google Nest climate controls with independently controlled zones in the living and dining areas.
Designed by Costas Kondylis, 279 Central Park West is a full-service condominium overlooking the southern end of the Central Park Reservoir. Amenities include 24-hour doorman and concierge service, fitness center, indoor and outdoor play areas, private storage, and bike storage.
Located moments from the American Museum of Natural History, transportation, restaurants, and shopping, the building offers direct access to Central Park and some of the Upper West Side’s most iconic surroundings.
