444 Central Park W #18/19G

Perched high above Central Park, this sunlit duplex offers a rare and expansive perspective over the city-like a private perch in the sky. This reimagined corner residence spans two floors and features two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, with no shared walls for added privacy. Bathed in natural light from three exposures-east, west, and north-it boasts sweeping views across Central Park, St. John the Divine, and uptown Manhattan. The apartment can be entered on both the 18th and 19th floor. When entering the 19th floor you enter into an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen with loft-like proportions. The inviting living area includes a wood-burning fireplace and opens onto a spacious private terrace of over 200 square feet. A vibrant, windowed powder room with mosaic tile sits just off the entrance. The kitchen is appointed with stone countertops, a striking Italian porcelain tile backsplash, high-end Viking and Whirlpool appliances, and generous cabinetry. New hardwood floors run throughout the home, which also includes a modern HVAC system and sound-insulated, double-glazed windows in each room. A custom staircase with integrated bookshelves leads down to the bedroom level on the 18th floor. The primary suite features a cozy window seat overlooking Central Park and an en suite bathroom clad in marble, complete with a large windowed shower and dual rain heads. The second bedroom, currently set up as a home office with a built-in desk, also enjoys open city views and excellent natural light. Additional highlights include a second full bathroom and a washer/dryer cleverly hidden behind repurposed antique paneling from the 19th-century. . Closets are abundant throughout, including custom-designed California Closets in both bedrooms and additional storage space in the hallway. Located at 444 Central Park West, a distinguished full-service Art Deco cooperative built in 1929 by Boak & Paris, the building features a stunning lobby, 24-hour doorman, live-in super, personal storage, bike room, and an expansive spectacular roof deck. Financing is allowed up to 85%, and the co-op is pet-friendly, permitting pied- -terres, co-purchasing, and subletting with board approval. Nearby, you'll find Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Columbus Square shopping, a weekly farmer's market, and an array of local restaurants. The building is conveniently located one block from the Subway on CPW.
