Description

Presenting an extraordinary offering of timeless beauty and architectural pedigree, a masterwork by Parisian designer, Jean-Louis Deniot, this rare and resplendent duplex maisonette has exquisite Central Park views, 15' ceilings, 3 fireplaces, 13 rooms, 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, 2 powder rooms and spans approximately 5,935 sq. ft. Nestled within the Prasada, an icon of French Second Empire design conceived in 1907 by Charles W. Romeyn and Henry R. Wynne, it is ideally positioned on Central Park West's Gold Coast at 65th Street across from one of the most beautiful areas of Central Park. The residence, with much of the interiors imported from France, marries classical grandeur with contemporary refinement, showcasing hand-adorned paneling, custom Parisian millwork, rare marbles, ornate lighting, and a level of craftsmanship that is nothing short of exceptional. The grand salon and dining room soar to 15 feet, framed by floor-to-ceiling arched windows with sweeping Central Park views, and anchored by a magnificent marble fireplace, creating a 30-foot enfilade overlooking Central Park of unrivaled elegance for entertaining. The 19-foot windowed chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring a French LaCanche range with triple ovens, SubZero and Miele appliances, pale green frosted-glass cabinetry, luxurious stone countertops, wine storage, and finely crafted finishes. Adjoining the public rooms is a stunning Jean-Louis Deniot bespoke, hand-carved bar and bartender's station leading into an expansive 22-foot paneled guest lounge/grand family/media room with 13-foot coffered ceiling - an ideal setting for relaxed gatherings or festive occasions. Two elegantly appointed powder rooms complete this floor. The private upper floor unveils a serene primary suite with glorious Central Park views, comprising a sunlit corner primary bedroom with fireplace and views of the park, and a sunny enfilade along the park of a study and a library with bookshelves and marble fireplace, all with soaring 11-foot coffered ceilings. Adjoining the primary bedroom is a 19-foot windowed paneled bespoke dressing room and sumptuous spa-like marble bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, separate grand rainfall shower, and water closet. The additional three to four bedrooms each offer generous closets and en-suite marble baths of exceptional design and finishes. A wet bar with hand-painted glass cabinetry and Miele coffee system, along with a discreetly tucked-away laundry closet add further convenience. Modern comforts abound, including zoned central air conditioning, integrated audiovisual systems, and advanced lighting. With white glove services, a fitness center, and one of Manhattan's most coveted addresses near Lincoln Center, Broadway, and cultural landmarks, this maisonette is not merely a home - it is a work of art, offering a lifestyle of unparalleled sophistication.
