Envision the possibilities of this spacious and bright home. A gracious foyer lined by roomy closets invites you into a large living room with hardwood floors. At over 21-feet-long, this space offers a generous footprint for plentiful seating and dining areas alongside a wide north-facing window overlooking a private courtyard and children’s playground below. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space, full-size appliances and a convenient pass-through to the living room. The expansive king-size bedroom provides plenty of room for a home office area plus a large closet. Outside the bedroom, another large closet leads to the bathroom.
This fine home is intimately linked to that of the neighboring architectural icon, The Dakota. Mayfair Towers rises where The Dakota's gardens, croquet lawn and tennis courts once stood. This unit looks out over the townhouses of the Central Park West/West 73rd-74th Street Historic District, specifically to a charming row of brick and limestone homes built by Henry Janeway Hardenberg, The Dakota's architect.
Mayfair Towers is a pet-friendly postwar cooperative offering 24-hour doorman and concierge service, live-in resident manager, laundry on every floor, a fitness center, a lovely roof deck with amazing city views, courtyard, children's playground, bike room and an on-site parking garage. Subletting, pieds-à-terre, parents’ buyers and co-purchasing permitted with board approval.
From this outstanding location near the corner of Central Park West, you're directly across from many of Central Park's most beloved features, including Strawberry Fields, The Lake, Bow Bridge and Bethesda Terrace. This prime Upper West Side neighborhood is surrounded by the city's best gourmet stores, shopping, restaurants and Lincoln Center entertainment. Enjoy abundant transportation options, including B, C and 1/2/3 subway lines, excellent bus service and nearby CitiBike stations.
