About this home
Combination Opportunity: Create a New Residence or Expand the Newly Renovated Unit 8B
Option I: Imagine a sprawling Central Park West sanctuary where the expansive layout is customized to your exact needs and direct park views become your daily backdrop. This once-in-a-generation opportunity to combine two 8th-floor apartments into a grand park-facing dream home delivers dramatic vistas of the Central Park treetops, the reservoir and city skyline in a modern, full-service condominium — one of just seven doorman condos on the entire 36-block stretch of Central Park West between Columbus Circle and 96th. Here, you'll find the perfect blank canvas for a remarkable five- or six-bedroom luxury residence that caters to lavish entertaining and busy daily life within easy reach of Central Park's most iconic attractions.
Proposed plans for the combined luxury retreat take full advantage of the contemporary building's 9-foot-tall ceilings and oversized bay windows on four exposures, flooding the entire space with exceptional natural light and postcard views. An elegant gallery entry, flanked by a wall of closets, a powder room, and a laundry room, makes a gracious welcome. Ahead, the jaw-dropping great room welcomes upscale gatherings with 35 linear feet of breathtaking Central Park views and a gas fireplace. Entertaining is effortless thanks to the gourmet open kitchen, oversized butler's pantry and library area with a bar and wine storage.
Architectural drawings place the home's luxurious private quarters in a separate wing for optimal peace and privacy. The expansive owner’s suite boasts a sitting area, large closets and huge windows that capture southern sunlight and glimpses of the park through bay windows, while the en suite spa bathroom showcases a wet-room shower and freestanding tub, a double vanity and a private water closet. The combined layout can easily accommodate five more spacious en suite secondary bedrooms with extra-large windows, roomy closets and private bathrooms. Plans also include a large media lounge and an inviting home office/study, where an existing gas line is perfect for an additional fireplace. Central HVAC and private storage on the same floor add comfort and convenience to this world-class Central Park showplace-in-the-making.
Option II: Alternatively, a purchaser may elect to retain the newly renovated Unit 8B and incorporate Unit 8C as an extension, rather than undertaking a full redevelopment of both apartments. This streamlined approach would be significantly faster and far more cost-effective. Unit 8B has recently completed a multimillion-dollar renovation featuring hardwood floors, Poliform cabinetry, designer lighting, Toto fixtures, heated bathroom floors, Lutron automation, and premium home audio—offering meaningful time and cost efficiencies for any future work.
Designed in 1987 by architect Constantine Kondylis, 279 Central Park West is a modern limestone and brick condominium, where residents enjoy attentive white-glove service, including a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, and maintenance staff. The upscale amenities continue with a new state-of-the-art fitness center, a children’s playroom with an outdoor playground, a package room, a bike room and resident storage. A 2.5% flip tax is payable by the buyer.
Located within the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District, this fine home places Central Park's best attractions right outside your door, including the stunning reservoir, tennis center, The Great Lawn and The Met. Two blocks away, you’ll find the West Side Community Garden — one of the Upper West Side's best hidden gems. Abundant dining, nightlife and entertainment venues line the local streets, while Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Target, and HomeGoods are all within easy reach. Transportation is effortless with B, C and 1/2/3 trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes nearby.
