magnificent home at the Century
One of the largest layouts at The Century, almost 3,000 square feet with 65 linear feet directly facing the park, it was formerly nine rooms now configured into six. The seamless combination of a classic six and a park view one bedroom duplex provides magnificent space, views and light. From the semi-private hallway on the ninth floor, one enters an impressive double width step-down living room that also encompasses the lower level of the duplex. Two large bay windows deliver outstanding views of the park as well as the 5th Avenue and Central Park South skylines. A third window is directly above the well-concealed wet bar. The spacious, serene primary bedroom suite also overlooks the park.An expanded chef's kitchen with a center island and separate laundry area, a formal dining room, and a wood paneled library or third bedroom suite with marble bath all have western exposures over the century's landscaped courtyard. A powder room and a fully built out cedar storage closet complete the layout on nine. Atop the staircase to the tenth floor one arrives at another marble bathroom before entering the 2nd bedroom where custom bookcases and a built in desk at the window are further complemented by a huge walk in closet. A separate entrance to the apartment on the 10th floor makes this bedroom equally well suited for guests or a live/work lifestyle. Hardwood floors throughout. Most windows were upgraded to thermopane.Gas and electricity are included in common charges. Smoking is not permitted. Pets are welcomed. Work on a new amenity zone with gym, residents lounge and pet spa has commenced and is slated to be completed by year end.Note: Assessment 1 is ongoing for capital improvements - Assessment 2 is for 10 years for new amenity zone.The Century was built in the 1930s and has been designated a NYC art deco landmark. Spanning the entire block from West 62 to West 63rd Streets and equally convenient to Columbus Circle and Lincoln Ctr., it is the city's premier full service prewar condominium. Truly a rare find.
