Welcome home to 9E at 271 Central Park West, a one of a kind Upper West Side residence offering 60 feet of direct Central Park frontage encompassing a canopy of greenery, front row views of the iconic reservoir and the Fifth Avenue skyline and dramatic vistas all the way down to Central Park South and the architectural glory of the 57th street corridor. Defining features of this wow factor home include 20 windows, a wood burning fireplace, 10'2'' ceiling heights, stunning herringbone floors and a sprawling floor plan comprising approximately 3,300 square feet with a 34 foot long great room and a separate family room. Perched high above the trees and bathed in natural light from eastern, southern and western exposures, this beautifully renovated 5-bedroom home is ready for its next chapter. Step into 9E off a semi-private elevator landing shared with just one other unit, and immediately feel a sense of arrival. The large entry foyer serves as a portal to the home's great room, family room, a large guest room and a hall leading to most of the private spaces. The corner great room is architectural perfection. Measuring 34' x 20' with eastern and southern exposures, this dramatic space is fit for the ultimate living and dining experience. Showcasing beamed ceilings, wood detailed paneling and wainscoting, a wood burning and brand new windows, the views in this room must be seen to be believed. The 9th floor elevation and precise location of the building offer a magical exposure overlooking the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, lush trees and park grounds and direct views of the Guggenheim Museum across the park. Adjacent to the great room is the south facing family room and a large guest room measuring 18'8'' x 15'2". Down a grand hall is the newly renovated, windowed eat-in-kitchen which features a walk-in pantry, custom cabinetry, top of the line Bertazzoni and Miele appliances including an integrated microwave and coffee maker, a pot filler and tons of storage. There is also direct access from the kitchen to the service elevator. The primary bedroom, located at the end of the hall, features two brand new massive windows overlooking the reservoir and Central park, a windowed marble bathroom featuring a pedestal sink and large walk in shower with waterworks fixtures throughout, and three customized closets. Adjacent to the primary is a large second bedroom almost equal in size to the primary with dramatic park views and access to the full bathroom, which also serves as the guest bathroom. Recently renovated and featuring a shower/tub combo, this bathroom also features a large window with an open park exposure. There are two more west facing bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom that could easily become an office, plus a large windowed laundry room with full size appliances, plenty of storage, built in hanging space and a utility sink. Additional features of 9E include brand new windows with screens in the great room, family room, kitchen and primary bedroom, two more hall closets, cove lighting detail in the foyer and newly installed vintage-inspired light fixtures throughout the entire apartment. There is also a huge private storage room located in the lower lobby which transfers with the apartment. 271 Central Park West is a discreet, 25 unit cooperative originally built in 1913 and designed by architects Simon Schwartz & Arthur Gross in a Neo-Renaissance style. With just two units per floor, this full service building offers 24 hour door staff, a live-in resident manager, a brand new state of the art gym, bike storage and private storage.
