Coveted A-line Residence at 15 Central Park West with 50 Feet of Central Park Frontage
This exquisite 4,577-square-foot residence is available for resale. Crafted with meticulous care by renowned British interior designer, Kelly Hoppen, this bespoke 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom gem is nestled within the esteemed House at 15 Central Park West. Offering quadruple exposure, it boasts an oversized living room that gazes out onto Central Park and Columbus Circle, a formal dining room spacious enough for a grand piano, an adjacent media room connected to the chef's kitchen, and a cozy home office adjacent to the primary bedroom.
As you step into the grand foyer, you're welcomed by a central gallery that exemplifies perfect balance, echoing Kelly Hoppen's philosophy of yin and yang in her book, "Ideas: Creating a Home for the Way You Live." An exquisite Lustre Ovale bronze chandelier, commissioned from Galerie Van der Straeten, hovers above a circular copper and lacquer table by Robert Kuo. The dark stained oak mirror gracing the silver-leaf wall reflects the space, enhancing its size and emphasizing the masculine architectural elements while offering glimpses of the rooms beyond. The corner living room, adorned with a Juliet balcony, presents captivating views of Central Park and Columbus Circle to the East and South. It features an impressive wall of ebonized shelving with an electronic sliding screen that provides the option of concealing the television. As Kelly aptly notes, "The two zones in this living-dining space are linked by color, tone, texture, and the dark oak parquet flooring. The folding screen-like doors can be used to segregate the two spaces, and these tie in with the shelving."
Overlooking Central Park, the primary suite combines functionality and comfort, featuring a decorative fireplace, two generous walk-in closets, and two separate en-suite bathrooms. Crystal chandeliers by Spina lend sophistication to the bedroom. Kelly Hoppen designed the larger of the primary bathrooms to provide a supremely calming experience, with a BainUltra deep soaking tub, separate steam shower, sinks by Antonio Lupi and Kohler, and a Toto Neorest heated toilet/bidet.
To the right of the central gallery, you'll find the expansive windowed chef's kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen opens into a more relaxed media room. The west side of the home comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with custom built-ins, en-suite bathrooms, and ample closet space. An oversized hall closet and a laundry room complete this wing. Noteworthy features include 9'10" ceilings, custom joinery framing each doorway, a bespoke powder room adorned with plasterwork on the walls and ceiling, and a Savant Home Automation system for temperature, audio, lighting, and window shades control. A wine cellar and a storage unit are also available for purchase.
Designed by the world-renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern, 15 Central Park West offers a plethora of ultra-luxury amenities, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, on-site garage with reception staff, a 14,000-square-foot fitness center with a 75' skylit indoor pool, steam and sauna facilities, a library, conference room, private theater, billiards room, children's playroom, and a private restaurant. A private storage unit is also available for purchase.
