Breathtaking, panoramic views of Central Park from sprawling 3BR/4.5BTH home with balcony and 18' terrace available now for the first time in decades.  Quiet and  high above the treetops, the light is spectacular and washes over every room.  Superb closet space, big square rooms, superb layout.  An oversized entry foyer separates the  large living and dining rooms which, together, provide  some 60' of grand space for entertaining.  Off the windowed kitchen is a staff room with full bath.  24 CPS is a boutique, white-glove cooperative with two apartments per floor, only 37 units in all.  The  building is in excellent condition both physically and financially and boasts a new lobby and gym to be completed by December.  Only a short walk to Carnegie Hall, Broadway and some of the finest shopping and dining in the world,  this charming building permits pieds-a-terre, purchase in the name of a trust, W/Ds, and pets.  Your decorative touch to the kitchen and baths is all that's needed to create the New York home of your dreams.
