245 West 99 Street   Unit 18B

River and skyline views abound in this high-floor luxurious four-bedroom, convertible five-bedroom, four full-bath home. Open south, west, and east exposures capture the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, The Freedom Tower, One Vanderbilt, the towers south of Central Park, as well as many of the beautiful pre-war buildings of the Upper West Side through floor-to-ceiling windows. This Ariel West gem is a special offering at over 2,700 square feet, including the terrace, with ten-foot ceilings. Conceived by Cook + Fox and CentraRuddy and brought to life by top NYC developer Extell, this gorgeous glass tower spoils its residents with a full suite of hotel-style amenities.

Entering through its large entry foyer, one is immediately struck by the sheer scale of the property, the abundance of light, and the endless views. Recently refinished hardwood floors, central heating and air, with multiple zones operated by a Nest system, a full laundry room, abundant storage in ten beautifully built-out closets, and a large storage cage, conveyed with the purchase, provide for elevated and comfortable living. All four bedrooms are very well-sized and offer river and sunset views to the west. The four elegant bathrooms boast top-of-the-line finishes and fixtures, including Toto and Waterworks. The sizable primary bedroom has incredible storage, including a walk-in closet and the spa-like five-fixture windowed primary bath, allowing the opportunity to bathe while watching the sunset cascade on the Hudson River.

The living space is also quite generous, providing two separate seating areas and a separate formal dining area with an additional office nook. The terrace, exclusive to higher-floor B-line units, is positioned off the living room. The chef's kitchen can accommodate the needs of even the most ambitious culinary endeavors. A large Viking refrigerator, a vented Viking range, a Miele dishwasher, a pantry, copious white and glass-faced cabinets, glass tile backsplash, and granite countertops curate both style and function.

Ariel West is truly the epitome of a lifestyle condominium. A robust, friendly, attentive staff includes a live-in super, doorman, and concierge. A basketball court, swimming pool, well-equipped fitness center, yoga room, children's playroom, media room, laundry room, bicycle storage, and storage room make this an ideal place to call home. All this is available conveniently near public transportation, many of the neighborhood's private schools, Central and Riverside Parks, and many grocery options, including Whole Foods, and some of the city's best dining.
