They don’t make rooms this size anymore. This sprawling co-op in the iconic Beresford at 211 Central Park West boasts the pre-war proportions that make even the humble staff rooms (yes, plural) bigger than the average Manhattan bedroom. This 10-room corner apartment, asking $14,200,000, gets the kind of views and light you’d expect from the prime parkside spot. A vast gallery, staff rooms, and gracious spaces at every turn mean the home’s five bedrooms could become more–or opened up to accommodate a grand ballroom.
A private elevator landing brings you to the room-sized gallery; original wood flooring and genteel floral wallpaper are a preview of the classic uptown interiors that define the apartment. There’s space for everything: The gallery holds a large closet and a dry bar.
The light-filled corner living room has herringbone-patterned flooring and a wood-burning fireplace–and full views of Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, and Midtown. Adjacent is a park-facing dining room with room for any number of dinner guests. Cooling comes from through-wall air conditioning–though the listing states that central air can be added.
The wood-paneled library (currently counted as the apartment’s fifth bedroom) is an elegant retreat, with the same park and city views. A powder room and full bath are accessed from here.
A farmhouse-sized eat-in kitchen boasts stone worktops and custom millwork as well as two sinks, two dishwashers, two refrigerators, two ovens, and multiple pantries. A staff room and laundry room with a vented washer/dryer serve this timeless kitchen.
The home’s bedroom wing offers three enormous bedrooms and one large bedroom. The primary suite boasts a sprawling, well-appointed bath and a walk-in dressing room.
