A residence of rare proportion and pedigree, this 2,500-square-foot 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathrooms home occupies a singular position within one of Central Park South's most distinguished prewar addresses. Ten-foot ceilings, a thirty-foot south-facing living room, a separate formal dining room, and a graceful flow of light-filled rooms reveal the kind of architectural framework that defines New York's most sought-after homes - and that no renovation can manufacture. A recent gut renovation has refined every surface while honoring the integrity of the original plan.
A private elevator vestibule opens into a gracious foyer, setting a tone of quiet arrival. From there, the living and dining rooms extend in a single sunlit expanse, framing iconic south-facing views of Carnegie Hall and the towers of Billionaires' Row. The scale is generous, the light constant, the sense of place unmistakable.
The primary suite is a true sanctuary - two walk-in closets, a beautifully appointed en-suite bath, and a sense of remove uncommon in the heart of the city. Two additional bedrooms are graciously proportioned and bathed in natural light, each served by its own full bath. A powder room off the foyer, abundant custom storage, central air conditioning, and an in-unit washer and dryer complete a home of effortless modern function.
The Briarcliff stands among Central Park South's most discreet white-glove condominiums - a boutique 33-unit building designed in 1922 by Warren & Wetmore, the celebrated architects of Grand Central Terminal. A full-time doorman and resident manager attend to daily life with quiet precision. Just beyond the door lie Central Park, Columbus Circle, MoMA, Lincoln Center, and the flagship dining and shopping of Fifth and Madison Avenues.
