Property Description
Let's Dance- A Legend lived here! 160 Central Park South - The Essex House A Rare Central Park Perspective Once the residence of David Bowie and Iman, this exceptional home offers a truly rare vantage point over Central Park-treetops at eye level, iconic Fifth Avenue and Central Park West architecture beyond, skyline in the distance, and the Park's historic carriage paths unfolding below. A gracious entry foyer sets the tone for this expansive and thoughtfully designed residence. The layout is ideally configured with two distinct wings, offering a seamless balance of grand entertaining and private living. The Park-facing wing features a modern, fully equipped kitchen that flows effortlessly into an impressive approximately 40-foot living and dining expanse-perfectly positioned to capture the breathtaking views. A generously-sized bedroom with adjacent bath also enjoys this prized exposure. With available plans, this bath can be redesigned for en-suite use and a separate powder room can be created, to further enhance luxury and convenience. The opposite wing provides a tranquil retreat, anchored by two oversized south-facing bedrooms bathed in natural light, each with en-suite baths. Abundant closet space and a discreetly placed washer/dryer further enhance the home's livability. Ideal as a primary residence, pied-á-terre, or investment property; the Essex House permits both short- and long-term rentals. Move-in ready as is, this gracious residence also offers tremendous potential for customization. We have prepared a range of design concepts-including painting, closet enhancements, and renovation options. Please see the virtually-staged photos and alternate floorplans included here. The Essex House, located at 160 Central Park South, is one of Manhattan's most iconic addresses. Built in 1929, this Art Deco masterpiece offers an unparalleled level of service and prestige. Condominium owners enjoy access to premier hotel amenities including 24-hour room service, and dining at the renowned Bourbon Steak Restaurant. Housekeeping, concierge, a business center, spa, and state-of-the-art fitness center, and valet parking are also available. At your doorstep the friendly concierge can arrange for your car, or a private carriage ride, or simply promenade the iconic Central Park South and be transported to the best world class shopping and restaurant options. This home is more than rooms; it's the location, the Central Park views, and the glamour- so why not put on your red shoes, and let's dance!
