Currently owned by Kayce Freed Jennings, wife of the late “ABC World News Tonight” anchor Peter Jennings, this Upper West Side co-op is a three-bedroom classic nine–and a true classic. Asking $10,450,000, the sprawling home at 101 Central Park West overlooks the park–just one of its many covetable attributes mentioned in a recent Wall Street Journal description of the elegant pre-war home, modernized for 21st century living.
The sprawling high-floor refuge–built in an era of lavish entertaining and live-in staff–boasts pre-war details like beamed ceilings, amber-toned wood floors, graciously-sized rooms, tall windows and a wood burning fireplace. An elegant library is served by a wet bar, and there are closets galore. There is easily enough space to create several more bedrooms beyond the current three.
Through the elegant Deco-era gallery in one of Central Park West’s most coveted pre-war cooperatives is a 30-foot living room. This anchor of the home’s entertaining wing offers jaw-dropping views across Central Park, a wood-burning fireplace and space for multiple seating areas.
A formal dining room looks out upon evening sunsets behind the brownstones of the Upper West Side. A massive eat-in kitchen features chef-ready appliances and plenty of work and storage space. A washer/dryer is tucked away here as well.
The home’s opposite wing contains three large bedrooms and a wood-paneled library. The corner primary bedroom suite is blessed with views of the park and downtown Manhattan. A beautifully-appointed primary bathroom is in perfect keeping with the home’s abundance of livable luxury. Two additional bedrooms also have en-suite baths.
101 Central Park West offers residents a 24-hour door attendant, a resident manager, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a bike room, and basement storage. And, of course, Central Park as a front yard.
