41 Central Park West   Unit 8CH

This expansive corner seven-room home has all the elegance of classic New York at the turn-of-the-century, yet this jewel of a home offers an origin of the non-traditional. Over 100 years ago, the architect allowed owners to customize their apartments so there would be no "typical" layouts. With an open loft-like entertaining expanse, Central Park views, exquisite detail, a stunning Juliet balcony, and two corner wings, this exceptional home offers grand-scale elegance originally unique, yet stunningly classic. Ideally situated in the landmarked full-service coop, Harperley Hall, one of the most illustrious buildings on Central Park West and directly across the street from Central Park. Lovingly maintained, the high-floor home boasts beautiful original old-world detail such as exquisitely-carved moldings, hardwood floors, wrought-iron balcony, over 10' high ceilings and one wood-burning and one decorative fireplace with elegant mantelpieces. The original layout offers flexibility to accommodate personal needs, including creating a larger eat-in kitchen and laundry room if desired. In addition, the home offers the new owner an ideal canvas for designing based on personal taste. The flexible floorplan presents an open entertaining expanse with side-by-side living and dining room, a large Juliet balcony, a gracious receiving room, windowed kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and entry foyer. Gorgeous Park views from the master suite and balcony offers a highly sought-after perspective
