## Description

Welcome to The Orwell House - a landmark prewar cooperative directly across from Central Park, on the southwest corner of 86th Street and Central Park West. This alcove studio is in fantastic condition, with central HVAC, hardwood floors, a separate sleeping alcove, a renovated large bathroom, and tall ceilings.

Designed in 1906 by Mulliken & Moeller, The Orwell House is a white-glove, full-service cooperative spanning twelve floors. Residents are welcomed by 24-hour doormen and concierge, a live-in superintendent, and a full building staff. Amenities include a fitness center, central laundry, bike room, and private storage. The crown jewel is the building's fully furnished rooftop deck - among the most spectacular in Manhattan - with unobstructed views over Central Park, the Onassis Reservoir, and the skyline beyond.

The location is unmatched. Central Park is your front yard, with the Reservoir running path, the Great Lawn, and Shakespeare Garden moments from your door. The B and C subway lines and the M86 crosstown bus are right at the corner - putting the Met, the Guggenheim, and the Upper East Side minutes away. The Museum of Natural History is four blocks south; Zabar's, Whole Foods, and Citarella are all within an easy walk.

Pets and pied-à-terres are welcome. The building permits financing up to 75% of the purchase price.

Have it all on Central Park West. Schedule a private showing.
