88 Central Prk W #4S New York City, NY 10023

Residence 4S at 88 Central Park West, The Brentmore, was taken down to its structure and rebuilt over three years, the renovation owners dream of but rarely have the time, understanding, and endurance to accomplish. The result is modern in every system and finish, and faithful to the 1910 architecture in every detail that defines it. The residence is now available for the first time in 33 years. Perched at the perfect elevation along the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Central Park West, the residence is configured as three bedrooms, three bathrooms, plus a generously scaled library/media room, with more than 47 linear feet of frontage directly on Central Park. The Brentmore is a 1910 Beaux-Arts co-op designed by Schwartz & Gross, sited within the landmarked Central Park West Historic District. Its storied history, including generations of residents prominent in film, music, and media, has been chronicled over the decades by The New York Times. Completed in 2009, the renovation was a three-year process that ran from initial architectural drawings through final sign-off. Nine months went into drawings and approvals alone before construction began, including sign-off from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission for the windows specifically. The rarity that discipline creates is now part of what a buyer is purchasing along with the residence itself. It has also been maintained at that same standard ever since and the building recently completed a full restoration of its elevators. Unique to the south side of the building, the elevator serves one residence per floor and opens at 4S onto a private vestibule that leads into a grand foyer, with the principal rooms radiating from there. Wenge flooring, finished in a deep ebony stain, runs continuously through the foyer, corridors, kitchen, dining room, and living room. The living room and the library, both park-facing, hold the residence's more than 47 linear feet of Central Park frontage between them. These are generous rooms, scaled to entertain a full house and no less composed on a quiet evening. Residence 4S sits within one of only two floors in the building, along with the 11th, fitted with its Juliette balconies, positioned directly along the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Central Park West. The dining room completes the run of entertaining spaces. The residence received a full brick-to-brick installation of custom double-hung mahogany windows, including the dining room's bay windows, which authentically replicate the building's original 1910 design, a rare detail, as few such windows have survived or since been restored at The Brentmore. The chef's kitchen pairs floor-to-ceiling high-gloss white lacquer cabinetry with two islands faced in Makassar ebony beneath Absolute Black granite, and nearly everything in it comes in twos. Dual refrigeration is joined by four refrigerator drawers, an ice machine, and wine storage for more than 150 bottles. Two speed ovens, two additional ovens, and two warming drawers flank a six-burner cooktop. It is a kitchen specified for the same full house the living room was scaled to entertain. The generous primary suite features a walk-in closet measuring 16'7" x 8', finished in English White sycamore veneer with a clear-lacquered maple interior, custom leather pulls, and a built-in safe. The five-fixture primary bath is built from full slabs of stone, Olympic Gray marble on the walls, Absolute Black granite underfoot, the floors heated. The secondary bedrooms offer privacy and separation from the primary suite. The private secondary bedroom off the back wing of the residence offers a wall of built-in closets and its own en-suite bath, finished in large marble slabs with soft gray veining on both walls and floor, also heated. The third bedroom sits directly across the hall from the residence's third bathroom, a powder room finished in warm, brown-toned marble with stone-carved door jambs and a soft cream marb
