200 Central Park South, Residence 8R
Two Bedrooms Two Baths North + South Exposures
Directly across from Central Park, Residence 8R offers a combination increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan: gracious proportions, wonderful natural light, and a highly flexible floor plan in one of the city's most iconic locations.
A proper entry foyer introduces the home and opens into an exceptionally spacious south-facing living room. Beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light, the room easily accommodates multiple seating areas with plenty of space for entertaining as well as comfortable everyday living.
The home's north and south exposures create a natural flow between its living, entertaining, and private spaces. Toward the northern side of the residence, the windowed eat-in kitchen offers an unexpected delight: a charming peek of Central Park, adding something special to the simple pleasure of morning coffee or tea. The renovated kitchen is equipped with a Liebherr refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and SMEG oven, bringing together quality appliances and everyday functionality.
Adjacent to the kitchen is one of Residence 8R's most versatile spaces, the second bedroom/dining room. Generously scaled, it can function beautifully as a true second bedroom, formal dining room, guest room, family room, library, or substantial home office, allowing the home to adapt easily to different lifestyles and needs.
The sunny south-facing primary bedroom offers excellent proportions and abundant closet space, including a walk-in closet. A renovated windowed en-suite primary bathroom completes the suite, creating a private and comfortable retreat.
The residence includes two full bathrooms and excellent storage throughout, while its dual north and south exposures bring light from two directions and enhance the sense of separation between the home's entertaining and private areas.
200 Central Park South, built in 1963 by developer Bernard Spitzer and designed by the architectural firm Wechsler and Schimenti, is a distinguished full-service cooperative known for its mid-century design, white-glove service, and exceptional location.
The Building amenities include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, attended on-site garage with direct lobby access, fitness center, rooftop deck, laundry facilities, bike room, package room, and live-in superintendent.
And then there is the location. Central Park is quite literally at your doorstep, with Columbus Circle only moments away. Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, MoMA, Fifth Avenue and 57th Street shopping, world-class cultural institutions, celebrated restaurants, and everyday conveniences are all within easy reach. Whole Foods Market at Columbus Circle is nearby, along with neighborhood dining destinations including Marea on Central Park South.
Transportation is equally convenient, with the N/Q/R/W at 57th Street, the A/B/C/D/1 at 59th Street-Columbus Circle, and the F train at 57th Street all close by.
For anyone seeking space, flexibility, natural light, and an irreplaceable Central Park South address, Residence 8R presents a rare opportunity to create a home that works beautifully for both everyday living and entertaining.
