This week’s “Unattainable Apartment” is a rarely available Renaissance Revival style mansion designed by Edward Angell and built by William Noble in 1888.

Sitting at 249 Central Park West (corner of 85th), it features expansive park views from every room.

The mansion retains many of its lavish original details: several fireplaces in almost every room with beautifully carved mahogany mantles, bay windows, coffered ceilings, fully paneled dining room, exquisite Tiffany era stained glass windows on every floor, and soaring ceilings throughout. Three exposures allow for abundant light streaming through every room of the house.

Three floors of the five floors have been renovated with the highest level of finishes and the top two floors have been gutted and are currently open spaces with grand ceiling heights and flooded with light.

The finished space includes 4 BR, 4.5 BA (with a unique master bath and dressing area) and a large eat-in chef’s kitchen with spacious pantry area. Additional spaces include a den, game room, dining room, library, and music room. The entire home is cooled by central air conditioning.

Outdoor space includes a garden and both a terrace and Juliet balcony on the third floor.

The property has over 10,000 square feet of interior and there are city-approved plans to build an additional 2,500 square feet. It is one of very few private homes on Central Park West.

This home is offered through Brown Harris Stevens for $25,000,000 (recently reduced from $30,000,000).
