Description

Corner Penthouse Living
Bathed in light through wall-to-wall windows and an enormous skylight, this magnificent, fully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom penthouse has the most unique and tranquil Broadway views you'll ever find.

The dual exposure living / dining room is enveloped with sky and prewar building views, and punctuated by a breathtaking skylight. A chef's kitchen is set apart from the living area and has custom cabinets, a pull-out pantry, endless granite counter tops, Sub-Zero, Viking and Bosch appliances, and a breakfast bar.

Quiet and spacious, the primary suite has two large custom closets and an en-suite 4-piece bathroom with dual sinks, spa tub and shower. Currently used as an office, the second bedroom has a large walk-in, custom-built closet. A second hall bathroom boasts floor to ceiling Italian marble and glass tiles. Additional features include hardwood floors throughout, custom automatic shades and window coverings, in-unit washer/dryer and custom lighting.

The Central at 250 West 88th Street was originally built in 1920 and converted to condominium in the mid-1990s. The pre-war, Upper West Side building offers a full-time doorperson, resident manager, central laundry, bike and individual storage. Pets are not allowed. Enjoy Central Park, Riverside Park and the Hudson River, an amazing specialty grocery across the street, Zabar's, Fairway, and AMC Movie Theater a few blocks away and the 1 train around the corner; convenience is at your doorstep.

An extensive facade project and a new roof were recently completed. There is a capital assessment of $411.07 per month through April 2030 to pay for that work and to replenish reserves. Real estate taxes are presented net of the coop/condo primary residence abatement.
