Perched high atop the Beresford on Central Park West, the proposed combination of the 19th Floor and 20th Floor D Line corner apartments present an extraordinary opportunity. The assemblage by the current owner, of these two spectacular units allows for the creation of a large high floor aerie with breathtaking 270-degree views above Central Park and the Natural History Museum. Even more extraordinary is the existence of comprehensive architectural drawings meticulously drawn up by Peter Pennoyer to meld these two apartments into a glorious duplex. Fortuitously the plan was approved in 2018 by the Beresford cooperative Board as well as by the Department of Buildings in NYC. As is customary, resubmission and reapproval of any plans will be necessary for the new owner. With great possibilities, this potential duplex residence would be defined by a luxury of space, magnificent Central Park and NYC skyline views, Southeastern exposures flooding the rooms with light, and a truly spectacular and usable terrace of significant size as well as an additional smaller terrace. The proposed duplex plan spans more than 4,400 square feet and provides for a gracious Gallery with an elegant, curved staircase to the Upper Level. On the first floor there is a vast corner Living Room with four windows overlooking Central Park and two additional South-facing windows. There is also a grand Dining Room and a separate Breakfast Room, both opening to an East-facing Terrace. And there is a South-facing Library, and an expansive Eat in Kitchen, which each open to an enormous South-facing Terrace. Upstairs, the plan provides for four Bedrooms, four ensuite Bathrooms, and two Sitting Rooms. The envisioned duplex is currently two distinct apartments: Apartment 19D features a large corner Living Room with a woodburning fireplace. Nearby, a Library opens to an East-facing terrace, also accessible from the Primary Bedroom. Notably, there is a very large South-facing Terrace, nearly 35’ long and nearly 15’ wide. The residence also features a big Eat-in Kitchen, an Office, an additional Bedroom, and one Staff Room. Apartment 20D is currently configured as a Classic Six with a circular floor plan, a Living Room, Dining Room, Eat-in Kitchen, and three Bedrooms. Both apartments are corner units and boast a plethora of absolutely spectacular views east towards Central Park and south towards the glittering skyline along Billionaire’s Row. Completed in 1929, this elegant limestone-clad prewar cooperative is one of Emery Roth’s most celebrated buildings. Superbly located in one of Manhattan’s most desirable residential neighborhoods, The Beresford is adjacent to Central Park, the Natural History Museum, and many of New York City’s best museums, shops, galleries, schools and restaurants. Services and amenities offered by this white-glove cooperative include 24-hour Doorman and elevator attended service, a state-of-the-art Fitness Club, and a Bicycle Room and a Laundry Room. Resplendent with glamorous and arresting views, the build out of this gorgeous residence would yield the ultimate trophy abode.
