279 Central Park W

279 Central Park West is a full-service condominium completed in 1988 and rising 23 stories with just 36 total residences, giving it a boutique, low-density feel despite its prominent parkfront address. Designed by Costas Kondylis, the exterior pairs limestone and brick with distinctive curved bay windows that maximize light and views toward Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. Apartments range from two- and three-bedroom layouts to expansive multi-floor penthouses and combination opportunities; many units feature oversized bay windows, high ceilings, formal galleries, and layouts tailored for large-scale entertaining. Interior finishes across multiple listings emphasize high-end, customized millwork and modernized systems: Poliform kitchens, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, integrated home automation, central air, hardwood floors, and spa-inspired primary baths with soaking tubs and heated floors appear frequently. Some residences include built-ins, wet bars, home theaters, and private outdoor terraces. Common building amenities are full white-glove services—24-hour doormen, concierge, live-in superintendent—plus a recently updated fitness center, indoor/outdoor children’s playrooms, bike and private storage, package room, and on-site maintenance. The condominium is pet friendly and permits pieds-à-terre. Situated on Central Park West within the Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District, the building places residents steps from park recreation, museums, restaurants, and grocery options, with multiple subway lines nearby. The combination of large, luminous homes, concierge-level service, and immediate park access defines the residence’s lifestyle offering.
