25 Central Park West, #18T

In 1890, a New York real estate broker predicted: “Central Park West seems to have only one future—it is destined to become an avenue of grand apartment houses and hotels.” His prediction came true and still holds today. The Century Condominiums, a NYC landmark located at 25 Central Park West, is one of four, twin-towered buildings that symbolize the excellence of Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

In contrast to the modern, sleek Trump International Hotel and Tower, the 32-floor Century Condominiums located between West 62nd Street and West 63rd Street is an Art Deco–style design by architect Edward S. Chanin. The 410 carefully planned luxury condos within this building range from two-bedroom to seven-bedroom living spaces offering breathtaking views of Central Park from gorgeous bay windows and balconies. The unique step-down living rooms and dining rooms and the rose-colored granite lobby separate these homes from others in the area. Residents can also enjoy a lush garden in the private courtyard.

Besides its distinctive floor plans and lovely surroundings, this residential building constructed in 1931 offers amenities that residents from Leo Lindy, the founder of the classic dining spot Lindy’s, to composer George Gershwin have enjoyed: concierge, full-time doorman, basement storage, and in-building washers/dryers.

Perhaps the best part of living in this building is its placement in the Lincoln Square neighborhood in proximity to the Time Warner Center and great shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.
