A Once-in-a-Generation Offering: Prestigious Dakota Residence in Mint condition with Sweeping Central Park Views. Welcome to residence 74 at The Dakota, a sprawling four bedroom plus library home where grand prewar architecture meets an impeccable renovation. From the moment you enter the gracious gallery, the home reveals a rare blend of old-world craftsmanship and contemporary luxury across this beautifully designed space. Soaring ceilings, millwork, and intricate inlaid flooring set an elegant tone that continues throughout every room. The enormous living room offers double exposures directly overlooking Central Park with spectacular views. Flowing from the gallery, the richly appointed library provides an intimate retreat, surrounded by built-in cabinetry with museum-quality picture lighting, ideal for a study, reading lounge, or private salon. The living room and the library each have fireplaces, and a Juliet balcony is wrapped around both rooms. The large formal dining room is outfitted with cleverly concealed closets and a fireplace. Its coffered ceilings, wainscoting and decorative moldings are an exquisite example of preserved prewar detailing elevated with contemporary design. The chef's kitchen combines sleek design with refined materials. A long butcher-block island serves as both a functional workspace and a casual dining area. Custom cabinetry, integrated top-of-the-line appliances, open shelving, and double sinks maximize utility while enhancing aesthetics. The home contains four bedrooms, each filled with natural light, lovely views and abundant storage. The primary bedroom is particularly serene, with three oversized windows, a Juliet balcony, and two large closets. The adjoining bedroom enjoys similar proportions and is also outfitted with ample closet space. Two additional bedrooms complete the wing. There are two full bathrooms and two half bathrooms. Throughout the residence, every detail has been carefully considered and flawlessly executed. Beautiful millwork, three fireplaces, artisanal flooring, soaring ceilings and layered crown moldings honor the home's original character, while advanced lighting, AV, and central climate systems ensure effortless contemporary living. Two additional and separate staff rooms are conveniently located on the floor above this home. The single staff room is outfitted with built-in storage and a desk that faces the courtyard of the building, while the second, double-room, contains a kitchenette, washer/dryer, appointed bedroom and a full bathroom. The Dakota offers full-time doormen and concierge service, as well as a newly renovated fitness center. There is a 3% flip tax paid by the buyer. Please call us to schedule a private viewing.
