Description

PRIVATE GARDENED TERRACE IN PRIME PRE-WAR CONDO BY CENTRAL PARK

PARLOR-LEVEL & PARK-SIDE ON THE TREE-LINE

BIG ROOMS - OPEN KITCHEN w/DINING BAR - COPIOUS CLOSETS - PRIVATE LAUNDRY ROOM - SEPARATE OFFICE w/TERRACE VIEWS

INSIDE: ~1500sf (including new added office -- originally 1416sf) OUTSIDE SF: ~108sf (current owner added new terrace)

If you dream of a private, gardened terrace -- your own sweet back-yard -- in a discerning address with a pre-war soul and a fresh, fantastic finish, then dream no more. Here is your well-scaled, renovated condo garden residence -- a feel-good, substantial home with high ceilings and a big layout that works. This is a perfect park-side home where you can stretch out and enjoy peaceful, treetop, architectural views onto a treasured townhouse block by Central Park.

With a prime position at parlor level at the famed Olcott -- one of Manhattan's most coveted, full-service, pre-war condominiums -- this easy-to-love, terraced residence is a standout. Supremely located half a block from Central Park, this winsome, well-scaled, wonderfully upgraded garden home lives largely and stands out for all the best reasons.

A welcoming gallery hall greets you, directing you immediately to this home's signature green space -- your own personal gardened terrace with Southern and Western exposures.

This bonus al fresco living space is the perfect spot for morning coffee, quiet outdoor meals, and evening toasts.

Looking onto the terrace is a private office space. Down the gallery hall, the main living room overlooks the treetops on picturesque 73rd Street -- a beautiful, leafy stretch anchored by historical townhouses and glorious Central Park.

With a sizable dining area, and an open kitchen (with a stone-capped dining bar, premium appliances, and ample counters/cabinetry), plus a separate in-home laundry room, this home’s big-room flow allows for easy entertaining and good living.

Both big bedrooms are graciously scaled, and gracefully separate from one another. This common-sense layout works well with this home’s elegant modern finishes, giving this stylish residence an easy-to-love character uniquely its own.

The primary bedroom overlooks the treetops, boasts a big, fully designed walk-in closet, and offers an en suite marble bath with dual sinks and a step-in shower. The grand guest bedroom suite enjoys a view onto the gardened terrace. With a leafy backdrop and big closets — and with its own full, extra-large, marble guest bath — the guest bedroom is a big winner.

The Olcott is a well-regarded, full service, pet-friendly 1920's condo building famously reinvented by renowned international designer, Andres Escobar. Stupendously situated by Central Park, this easy-to-love home offers a world-class location near most every area dining, shopping, cultural, entertainment, and fitness destination -- not to mention many convenient transportation options (close to B,C, 1,2 & 3 trains and many bus lines). With a gloriously restored, grand lobby, supremely attentive around-the-clock staff, and boasting attractive amenities (including an impressive fitness room, freshly renovated private dining/social room, big play room, cold storage, bicycle storage, and individual storage bins), the Olcott has it all.

If you dream of a re-imagined, custom, corner, pre-war condo by Central Park — a gardened, parlor-level residence with home office and a laundry room — all on the tree-line -- a terraced residence that is ready for your big life and all of your expanding needs — then dream no more.

Welcome home.
