Description

Located on a high floor of the legendary Dakota on Central Park West at 72nd Street, this magnificent apartment is one of the largest in the building, with over 100 feet--more than half a block--fronting Central Park and eight windows directly overlooking the park. Rich in history and architectural grandeur, the residence has been meticulously renovated and carefully restored, preserving the original 19th-century details, including 12-foot ceilings, soaring doorways, plaster moldings, exquisite hand-carved woodwork, pocket doors, shutters framing all twelve windows, and seven wood-burning fireplaces. Pristine hardwood floors painstakingly replicate the original designs throughout the home. A central air conditioning system serves the entire apartment with minimal disruption of the original architecture. The graceful layout incorporates impressive grand-scale public rooms and elegant private spaces emanating from a 70-foot gallery.

One enters the home through a private mahogany-paneled vestibule, opening onto a gracious foyer with a welcoming fireplace. A set of original pocket doors leads to a 24-foot park-facing library with an original fireplace. Adjacent is a 29-foot living room with an original fireplace, two vast floor-to-ceiling windows capturing extraordinary park views, and two balconies decorated with exquisite ironwork. Across the gallery, a 24-foot formal dining room, with a fireplace, original pocket doors and corner built-in bar, presents enchanting views of the Dakota's courtyard and exceptional architectural details. An architecturally innovative chef's kitchen is a pleasing convergence of design and function. The bright, 24-foot space incorporates two large islands, two sinks, two Miele dishwashers, ample storage in custom solid-mahogany cabinetry, granite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen floor is comprised of alternating honed and flamed black granite. Beyond the kitchen is a 20-foot family room with built-
