This pristine sky palace overlooking Central Park has the celebrity cachet of once having been the residence of beloved screen siren Raquel Welch. As a combination of three already-palatial units (Welch was said to have owned unit 32AB in the 1980s), the home’s new incarnation spans 5,500 square feet, occupying the entire 32nd floor of 200 Central Park South. A newly minted renovation offers 70 feet of park frontage, five bedrooms, and dazzling views in every direction.
The living and entertaining spaces that anchor this skyline estate boast the aforementioned park frontage for a four-season view. Made for grand-scale entertaining, the space consists of a capacious living room, an intimate lounge, and a separate dining area.
Design highlights include electric fireplaces set in equally electric Mediterranean Blue Marble, designer lighting, custom sliding glass panels, and a custom bar and kitchenette combo. Top-of-the-line finishes throughout include hand-stained natural oak floors, custom millwork, integrated storage, architectural lighting, and details in natural stone.
The dramatic kitchen showcases Ajax Gold Quartzite paired with Poliform cabinetry, punctuated by bronze-glass étagères. A chef-ready Gaggenau appliance suite includes gas, induction, and teppanyaki cooking modules. You’ll also find an integrated coffee station, juice bar, and appliance garage.
At the other end of the home, a private club room could be converted to a guest suite. This uniquely NYC space overlooking the Midtown skyline features a Bianco Superiore quartzite bar and an ensuite bath.
There are four large bedrooms with the possibility of creating a fifth. The primary suite is served by dressing areas, walk-in closets, and a marble-clad bath. This sky-retreat also contains a wellness area with an infrared sauna and a steam shower.
Built in 1963, 200 Central Park South is a classic in its own right. The full-service cooperative offers a renovated lobby, a dramatic circular driveway, a 24-hour doorman and concierge, valet parking, a fitness center, a rooftop observation terrace, valet services, bicycle storage, and an on-site parking garage.
