25 Central Park West #5D

This elegant, spacious and bright one bedroom home in a full-service white-glove landmark condominium on Central Park West is a classic gem. The Century is one of the masterpieces of developer Irwin S. Chanin. With Central Park as your backdrop, it was completed in 1931 in the Art Deco style by Jacques Delamarre. The apartment features a 22' living room and a large, separate windowed dining area. The rooms are graciously-scaled and perfect for entertaining. Impressive features include high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors and excellent closet space. It is also possible to combine with apartment 5A to create a three bedroom, three bath home.

The Century was the last of the four twin-towered apartment buildings to be erected on Central Park West along with the San Remo, the Beresford, and the Majestic. This Art Deco masterpiece represented a dramatic shift from the conventional, classic apartment buildings built until then. It combined the decorative futurism of French Modern Classism with the spirit of modernity that swept American architecture in the period preceding the Great Depression of 1929. The sweeping curves at the back of the towers evoked the modernism of the Machine Age. The building has an unusual U-shaped lobby designed around a landscaped rear court. The Century is centrally located, with Central Park at your doorstep. It is just a short walk to Lincoln Center, the Reebok Sports Club, Columbus Circle, and the AOL Time Warner Center. Amenities include 24 hour doorman and concierge services.*Common Charges total of $1082 includes an energy surcharge of $199 and assessments totaling $170.84.
