Description
Peerless Reservoir and Park panoramas illuminate a 12 room, 5 BR, 6 bath duplex PH atop the iconic El Dorado. This residence is graced by ubiquitous sun, beautifully scaled rooms and a high ratio of window to wall Park frontage. Entering its broad center gallery from a semi private landing, one is captivated by a 50 foot Central Park tableau filling the eastern walls of a magnificent living room and adjacent library opening onto a lovely terrace overlooking the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. Completing the impressive entertainment area is an embassy size formal dining room, chef's eat in kitchen, 2 staff bedrooms and an additional northwest facing terrace. A grand staircase leads to the bedroom wing which contains a generous master suite with sweeping Park views from oversized windows and a large dressing room. Four more master bedrooms, one with its own Park view terrace, are well located in distinct areas. Additional amenities include a powder room, myriad walk in closets, high ceilings and a second staircase. Designed with panache in the late 1920s by Emery Roth and the firm of Margon and Holder, the El Dorado provides a top-flight tenants' gym, bike room, half basketball court, kids playroom, laundry room, garage and impeccable White Glove service dispensed by a concierge, doormen and hall attendants. The gorgeous Deco lobby has been brilliantly restored to its original elegance. This stellar home was owned by one of Hollywood's most heralded film producers. It was the scene of celebrity studded gatherings including the memorable wedding of Broadway's brightest star. Like the bride, there is nothing like it in New York City. This listing is a co-exclusive with Sotheby's.
