Conceived in 1926 and completed in 1937, it was designed by A. Rollin Caughey and William F. Evans, Jr., with interiors by the legendary Dorothy Draper. The striking white brick facade rises in a series of elegant setbacks to a distinctive pyramidal copper roof. Inside, the original public spaces remain a masterclass in design, with dramatic black-and-white contrasts, overscale plaster carvings, and extraordinary cast-glass door moldings creating a timeless sense of elegance. Originally opened as a grand rental residence and later converted to a cooperative in 1949, the building has long been synonymous with exceptional service. Residents enjoy a suite of hotel-style amenities, including a full-time doorman, concierge, live-in general manager, bell captain, daily mail and deliveries, laundry service, and a 24-hour maintenance staff. Adding to its charm, a live jazz pianist performs in the lobby every Tuesday and Wednesday evening. The 24/7 health club, state-of-the-art security systems, safety deposit boxes, and basic cable are included in the monthly maintenance, which also covers electricity, cooking gas, and window washing. For added convenience, optional housekeeping services provide daily maid service with linens, toiletries, and more. Fifty percent financing is permitted, purchasing in an LLC or Trust is allowed, and there is a 3 percent flip tax paid by the purchaser. This is a rare opportunity to own in one of New York City's most iconic buildings, where timeless design, Central Park views, and unparalleled service combine to create a truly exceptional lifestyle. A washer/dryer can be installed in the closet of the second bedroom/den.
