This week’s unattainable apartment is a combo unit at the famed El Dorado (300 Central Park West). Units 9C and 9D are on the market together, resulting in an opportunity to own a massive, 14 room home in one of New York’s most prestigious prewar co-ops.

With dazzling Central Park views spanning 50 feet, the sprawling residence would include 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, and would be accessed via a private elevator landing. Bathed in incredible natural light, the spectacular apartment would have 30 windows spanning 4 exposures. The space is further enhanced by magnificent prewar architectural detailing including high beamed ceilings, traditional moldings and pristine hardwood flooring throughout.

There is a grand 24-foot gallery with coved ceiling providing an impressive introduction to the home. The dramatic 34-foot-by-28-foot entertaining expanse has a fireplace with a marble mantel and includes five large picture windows, perfectly framing breathtaking Central Park and reservoir views. A Brazilian cherry wood bar is found off the gallery, as well as ample closets pace. There is an adjacent corner library/media room facing the Park with custom-bookcases which can be accessed by double doors, either off the living room or off the gallery.

The ample Chef’s kitchen has a large breakfast room and features custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances from Sub-Zero, Viking and Thermador. There is a staff room with a bath as well as a separate laundry room off the kitchen.

The vast hallway leading to the private chambers of the home incorporates an abundance of incredible storage space, running the length of the hall. There would be six bedrooms, a large family room/play-room, and a wonderful study. The bright master suite faces south and has two large walk-in closets and an oversized master bathroom.

One of the finest Art Deco structures in the city, the El Dorado was designed by legendary architect Emery Roth and completed in 1931. Services and amenities include a full-time doorman, concierge, recreation area, a fully-equipped fitness center, children’s play room, basketball mini-court and bike room.

This apartment is offered through Brown Harris Stevens for $13,950,000. Maintenance/CC runs $9,274, 29% of which is tax-deductible.
