Unlike anything else on Central Park West, this park-facing loft-like studio (originally configured as a one bedroom) is an escape from the norms and predictability of most Upper West Side apartments. Offered for the first time in a half-century, this regularly updated apartment enjoys 10' ceilings, oversized windows with park views, and, most special of all, a walkout to the fire escape with park views and all the way south to Billionaire's Row. Though configured as a studio, there are a variety of large living and entertaining areas. The multifunctional spaces are helped by the slick custom cabinetry and murphy bed that seamlessly converts a living area into parkside sanctuary. The dining area is large enough to accommodate a table for ten and is smartly adjacent to the marble-topped kitchen island. 227 Central Park West is a boutique 19-unit cooperative with room for storage and bicycles, and a terrific live-in super. Built in 1888, this timelessly elegant building has stood through much of the history of the Upper West Side and is a living embodiment of the rich fabric of the neighborhood. Please reach out to schedule a visit to see this very special home.
