Perfectly positioned just off Fifth Avenue, neighboring the legendary Plaza Hotel, this remarkable residence occupies the 22nd and 23rd floors of the prestigious 24 Central Park South. Encompassing approximately 1,813 square feet of refined interior living space and an extraordinary 823-square-foot wraparound terrace, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the most captivating homes on Central Park South.
A private elevator opens directly into an elegant foyer, unveiling a dramatic great room with soaring 9'6" ceilings, exquisite marble flooring, and oversized windows that frame uninterrupted views of Central Park like a living masterpiece.

A sun-filled dining alcove beneath a striking glass ceiling showcases beautiful park and city views, while the adjacent south-facing sunroom offers exceptional versatility as a lounge, formal dining room, guest retreat, or inspiring home office.
Also on the main level is a spacious bedroom suite with direct access to a private 171-square-foot section of the wraparound terrace, creating a peaceful outdoor sanctuary. An elegant marble en-suite bath and a stylish powder room complete this level.
Ascending to the upper floor is one of the home's most breathtaking architectural features—a spectacular two-story glass-enclosed circular staircase overlooking Central Park. Flooded with natural light, this sculptural centerpiece creates an unforgettable transition to the private quarters above.
The upper landing offers sweeping park views and generous walk-in closets before leading through custom curved doors into the luxurious primary suite. Enjoy tranquil southern exposures, abundant sunlight, and a spa-inspired marble en-suite bath complete with a deep soaking tub, creating a serene retreat high above the city.
