The ideal north corner residence at the definitive Central Park West address: welcome to Unit 36D, an exquisitely distinctive home.

The rarely-available, highly-coveted D line unfolds over nearly 3,200 square feet, spanning the northern edge of the 15 Central Park West tower from east to west. To enhance the wonder of panoramic views, the original owners of 36D made a unique design elevation, replacing the interior walls of the great wing with panels of glass and making this unit the only D line that opens directly into breathtaking views of the whole of Central Park.

Framed by the glinting towers of Billionaire's Row, the grand cultural institutions of 5th Avenue, and the far northern reaches of the Central Park Reservoir and Ramble, there's both a restful sense of remove and a unique integration with the city skyline.

Throughout the home, this balance repeats: grandeur and intimacy, excitement and calm.

Distinct perspectives from the living wing gallery, study, great room, dining room, and kitchen - each with its own view of Central Park - are framed by crown moldings and colonnades, giving old world shape to modern elegance. The expansion of the gallery hall and the arresting glasswork renders every living space radiant. With 11' ceilings and graceful proportions, a sense of composition pervades.

The west wing comprises three separate bedrooms with en suite baths, all with romantic views west across Lincoln Center to the shimmering expanse of the Hudson River. The palatial primary suite is luminous and serene, with a marble en suite bathroom with deep soaking tub and separate shower, and a generous walk-in closet. The pass-through from primary to second bedroom makes the second suite equally adaptive as a child's bedroom, home office, dressing room, or studio; four well-proportioned closets add amplitude to intimacy. The large third en suite bedroom pairs west-facing views with an oversized north-facing window that opens once more to the green of Central Park. Coveted multi-directional views imbue the whole of the home with light that shifts and settles throughout the day; sunsets over the river welcome night with a fiery beauty.

Designed by renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern, 15 Central Park West is distinguished by an array of luxurious amenities: 24-hour doorman and concierge; on-site garage and motor court with reception staff; a 14,000-square-foot fitness center with steam rooms, sauna, spa-quality treatment rooms, and a 75-foot skylit indoor pool; library; conference rooms with terrace; private theater; billiards room; children's playroom; a courtyard garden with reflecting pool; and a private restaurant, offering both club dining and in-home catering.  36D comes with its own private storage within the building.

An architectural celebration of old New York, a poetic rendering of the grand galleries of Europe, and above all, a home that inspires both ease and wonder  15 Central Park West, 36D, awaits.
