Description

It has been a decade since the last listing of one of Trump Towers very rare J apartments, one of the best apartments of its size anywhere in the City.

Only ten "J" apartments exist occupying the building's premier corner with 3 exposures and spectacular views of Central Park and the George Washington Bridge to the north and sweeping west and south capturing panoramic views of the City and some of Manhattan's most iconic buildings. The original J configuration is 1,923 sq. ft. and offers an entrance foyer and grand gallery leading to the spectacular living/entertaining area surrounded by dazzling views. Off of the gallery running south to north and including spectacular views of Central Park is a large eat-in kitchen. The second bedroom with en-suite bath is positioned off the gallery on the corner with views south and west. The master bedroom suite has direct views of Central Park, plentiful closets and includes one of the few master baths in the City with a full Central Park view. A powder room is discretely positioned off of the entrance foyer.

An alternate floor plan changing the kitchen configuration can allow for a third bedroom and bath.

This apartment is not to be missed!!
