257 CENTRAL Park W #5H
About This Property
Firmly ensconced at the core and beating heart of the Big Apple, is a marvelous alcove studio gem. Located directly across from the magnificent Central Park, more than a home or "pied-a-terre", you will own a huge slice of the Big Apple by taking only a small bite!
This lovely alcove studio is in mint condition and offers a fully equipped separate kitchen, a marvelously renovated large bath, through the wall HVAC and beautiful hardwood floors. Housed in the magnificent and grand Orwell House, a full service, white glove cooperative on Central Park West, just walking into the lobby, shows that you have arrived in NYC!
The Orwell House is a white-glove, full-service building designed for comfort and convenience. It features a beautifully appointed lobby with original detailing, exuding timeless elegance. Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman and concierge services, elevator, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, bike room, and private storage options. The building also includes a parking garage and a serene roof deck with stunning views of Central Park.
Pets and pied-a-terre are allowed, and the building permits financing up to 75% of the purchase price.
