This lofty four-bedroom gem, with broad, 50’ treetop views of Central Park, is the former home of the great American portrait photographer ANNIE LEIBOVITZ. Leibovitz owned the apartment until 1992 (not long after she became the first woman to hold an exhibition at Washington’s National Portrait Gallery), and the condo — formerly Apartment 3CD — has seen some meaningful revisions since then, notably an expansion into apartment 3E next door. Today, the soaring space encompasses 3,042 square feet, and even without its celebrity provenance, it’s a keeper.
This lofty 4-bedroom gem has an EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE LAYOUT and can easily and inexpensively be transformed into the layout of any discerning buyer's dreams. The apartment has a front and back wings with 2 entries and a second supplemental kitchen.
It's current layout enables: * LIVE * LIVE+WORK * LIVE+INCOME * LIVE+GUEST/INLAWS
An artistic type dream, this grand apartment is most accommodating to the conventional user. The 14ft ceilings and over 50' feet of pristine Central Park views allow an abundance of natural light to stream through six oversized west-facing windows. What else is there to ask?...
The park facing space offers wide plank hardwood floors and an entertaining area that flows right into an open dining area and chef's kitchen. The kitchen features top of the line stainless steel appliances, custom white cabinets, and Caesarstone counters.
