Apartment 502 is a very special, sun-filled corner two bedroom home in the heart of the Upper West Side directly across the street from the beauty and recreation of Central Park. This gorgeous 5.5-room home retains the gracious layout and grand scale that continues to make prewar construction so desirable. The scale of the loft-like, corner formal space is enhanced by exceptional natural light drawn in through extra tall windows and three exposures overlooking a serenely quiet courtyard and a landmarked church designed by award winning architects Carrere and Hastings (renowned for designing the New York Public Library). The 25 expanse offers a wonderful flow that opens to a very spacious, den/media room (can be utilized as a formal dining room or 3rd bedroom if desired) and a beautifully renovated, open chefs kitchen with multiple entries and an additional window that only adds to the bright, open and airy space. The apartment features modern comforts, finishes and appliances and the layout is well-planned and wonderful for entertaining. Original old-world details include 11' high ceilings in the formal expanse, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, pristine moldings, abundant, oversized, double-height restored wood-framed/paned casement and double-hung architectural windows with original wavy glass and transoms and a grand wood-burning fireplace with exposed brick hearth. Modern conveniences and renovations include a new kitchen and bathroom, generous custom storage, custom built-ins and high-end stainless appliances. The kitchen is as functional as it is sleek with abundant custom cabinet storage, complemented by Caesarstone counters and backsplash and large slate Porcelanosa tile floors offering a seamless, modern design. High-end stainless appliances include a Liebherr refrigerator, Bertazzoni 4-burner gas range oven, Bosch dishwasher and Whirlpool microwave oven. A 30-foot entry gallery allows for an elegant welcome and a distinction of formal entertaining from living space. Both bedrooms are spacious with generous custom closet space (a large walk-in in the master) and oversized windows. The bathroom was fully renovated with deep soaking tub, Hansgrohe fixtures and Porcelanosa tile floors.370 Central Park West is s a full-service co-op located across the street from Central Park, public transportation (subway and bus) at the corner and a Whole Foods market one block away.
