Description

Chic Upper West Side penthouse with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and massive outdoor space!

Atop the luxurious prewar Olcott condominium, a half block from Central Park, rests this beautiful 1,741 sq ft home with an extraordinary 1,200+/- sq ft terrace, bathed in sunlight with a view of the park. Off the elegant entry gallery with a walk-in closet are steps to an outdoor oasis that is unparalleled in NYC. Host barbecues with a built-in gas grilling station, and enjoy the open city vistas that capture Central Park on your huge terrace featuring lush plantings and irrigation.

Inside enjoy an entertainer's dream space - a sun-filled corner great room with oversized windows overlooking the terrace and cityscapes. Oak wood floors, a decorative fireplace and built-ins enrich the ambience. The open kitchen in sparkling white is tailored to the chef with custom cabinetry, Caesarstone quartz countertops, a large prep/breakfast bar, and premium Miele appliances. Nearby is a guest powder room and hidden laundry room with a Whirlpool washer/dryer and storage.

The sleeping wing has 2 king-size bedrooms facing east. The primary suite has an enormous walk-in closet and spa bath wrapped in high-end tile and marble. A secondary bedroom with a custom-outfitted closet accesses a high-end full bath across the hall. Oak wood floors, designer lighting, integrated audio, and a private storage cage heighten the allure.

The 1925-built Olcott, a NYC landmark, was impeccably restored by renowned Andres Escobar and converted to a full-service condo in 2006. Elevating the lifestyle is an elegant lobby, 24-hour doorman & concierge, live-in super, double-height fitness center, lounge with dining room & catering kitchen, children's playroom, cold storage & bike room. Best of all is the address, on a tree-lined street moments from Central Park, near upscale shops & restaurants, museums, and the 1, 2, 3, B & C subway lines. Pets ok.
