Residence 4S at 88 Central Park West, The Brentmore, was taken down to its structure and rebuilt over three years, the renovation owners dream of but rarely have the time, understanding, and endurance to accomplish. The result is modern in every system and finish, and faithful to the 1910 architecture in every detail that defines it. The residence is now available for the first time in 33 years. Perched at the perfect elevation along the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Central Park West, the residence is configured as three bedrooms, three bathrooms, plus a generously scaled library/media room, with more than 47 linear feet of frontage directly on Central Park. The Brentmore is a 1910 Beaux-Arts co-op designed by Schwartz & Gross, sited within the landmarked Central Park West Historic District. Its storied history, including generations of residents prominent in film, music, and media, has been chronicled over the decades by The New York Times. The timeless renovation was a three-year process that ran from initial architectural drawings through final sign-off. Nine months went into drawings and approvals alone before construction began, including sign-off from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission for the windows specifically. The rarity that discipline creates is now part of what a buyer is purchasing along with the residence itself. It has also been maintained at that same standard ever since and the building recently completed a full restoration of its elevators. Unique to the south side of the building, the elevator serves one residence per floor and opens at 4S onto a private vestibule that leads into a grand foyer, with the principal rooms radiating from there. Wenge flooring, finished in a deep ebony stain, runs continuously through the foyer, corridors, kitchen, dining room, and living room. The living room and the library, both park-facing, hold the residence's more than 47 linear feet of Central Park frontage between them. These are generous rooms, scaled to entertain a full house and no less composed on a quiet evening. Residence 4S sits within one of only two floors in the building, along with the 11th, fitted with its Juliette balconies, positioned directly along the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Central Park West. The dining room completes the run of entertaining spaces. The residence received a full brick-to-brick installation of custom double-hung mahogany windows, including the dining room's bay windows, which authentically replicate the building's original 1910 design, a rare detail, as few such windows have survived or since been restored at The Brentmore. The chef's kitchen pairs floor-to-ceiling high-gloss white lacquer cabinetry with two islands faced in Makassar ebony beneath Absolute Black granite, and nearly everything in it comes in twos. Dual refrigeration is joined by four refrigerator drawers, an ice machine, and wine storage for more than 150 bottles. Two speed ovens, two additional ovens, and two warming drawers flank a six-burner cooktop. It is a kitchen specified for the same full house the living room was scaled to entertain. The generous primary suite features a walk-in closet measuring 16'7" x 8', finished in English White sycamore veneer with a clear-lacquered maple interior, custom leather pulls, and a built-in safe. The five-fixture primary bath is built from full slabs of stone, Olympic Gray marble on the walls, Absolute Black granite underfoot, the floors heated. The secondary bedrooms offer privacy and separation from the primary suite. The private secondary bedroom off the back wing of the residence offers a wall of built-in closets and its own en-suite bath, finished in large marble slabs with soft gray veining on both walls and floor, also heated. The third bedroom sits directly across the hall from the residence's third bathroom, a powder room finished in warm, brown-toned marble with stone-carved door jambs and a soft cream marble shower discreetly concealed behind a marble wall. Dornbracht fixtures run throughout all three bathrooms. Every room in the residence was considered with an art collection in mind. Ceilings run 10 feet throughout, creating a collector's dream of unbroken wall space, served by a built-in Arakawa System, a ceiling-mounted rail integrated throughout the residence that allows an ever-changing collection to be hung and rehung without ever marking the walls. All door hardware throughout the residence is hand-stitched in shagreen. A full home automation system controls lighting, climate, shades, AV, and security from a single touchscreen or an iPhone, with concealed flat-panel televisions rising on motorized lifts in the bedrooms, kitchen, and library. Climate itself is handled by four independent HVAC split systems throughout, and a large laundry room fitted with a full-size washer and dryer completes the residence. The 12-story brick building presents a rusticated limestone facade with sculpted terra cotta window surrounds. It converted to co-op ownership in 1959. The building offers an attended lobby with concierge, doorman service, private storage, and an emergency backup generator. At the south corner of West 69th Street and Central Park West, The Brentmore sits within easy reach of Lincoln Center, home to the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, and New York Philharmonic, and a short distance from Columbus Circle's Michelin-starred dining, including Jean-Georges and Per Se. Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History are equally close at hand. Financing is permitted up to 50%. Pied-à-terre use is not permitted. Pets are welcome. A complete list of specifications is available upon request. In keeping with the seller's wish for discretion, interior photography is not being released publicly. Residence 4S is shown by private appointment only.
