55 Central Park West   Unit 2B

Welcome to 55 Central Park West, an Art Deco gem along New York's glorious Central Park West. Built in 1929, designed by architects Schwartz & Gross, the building is classic in every sense, from its gracious fully-restored lobby to its soaring spires, where you can enjoy a fully landscaped rooftop terrace, vegetable garden and wet bar with panoramic views of Central Park. Colloquially known as "the Ghostbuster building" - the plot of the 1984 comedy revolves heavily around it - prior residents include Ginger Rogers, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and Broadway composer, Jerry Herman. A true NYC landmark.

Apartment 2B is a spacious one-bedroom home with period details throughout, ideal for entertaining. Enter through a gracious foyer that leads you into a dropped living room and original wrought iron railings, with plenty of room for living and dining and oversize windows looking onto a beautiful tree-lined street with adjacent views to Central Park. A large bedroom with three closets comfortably allows room for a king-size bed with night stands, and room for a home office. The Jack-and-Jill bath with its original cast iron tub is easily accessible from the living area for guests, and allows privacy to your bedroom. The windowed galley kitchen, separate from the dinning and living area, is fully equipped and awaits your finishing touches.
