The Way We Were... The Way We Are...

Once in a great while something special comes to surprise, even dazzle. Such is Residence 1901 - a 4 bedroom 4 bathroom condo unit at the Private Residences of New York's legendary Plaza Hotel.

This almost 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) corner duplex home with north, west, and southern exposures has one of the largest living rooms (over 1,000 square feet) in The Plaza with beautiful partial Central Park views. With almost 12 foot-high ceilings and a fireplace (gas) it has several separate sitting areas, including an eye-catching bar area with a wine cooler - suitable for intimate gatherings or grand-scale entertaining.

The large formal dining room has two French doors overlooking the magnificently landscaped courtyard gardens and fountains below. It can easily accommodate 12 or more for a seated dinner - or many more for casual buffets.

The huge primary suite is a quiet oasis with substantial closets and an enormous spa-like bath with dual vanity and separate shower.

Perfectly situated adjoining the living room, is a library/guest room with soaring 12 foot ceilings and an en suite bath.

Up a flight of stairs, anchored by an exquisite architectural masterpiece stair railing that prominently features The Plaza signature double "PP", are two additional bedrooms with en suite baths. These rooms have full-on Central Park views and could easily be used for a gym, home office, or guest suites.

The large kitchen with Nero Marquina marble countertops, has top-of-the-line stainless steel Viking and Miele appliances including a Viking gas range.

There is a separate laundry area with a washer and dryer off the well-situated large and gracious gallery.

The Plaza owners enjoy five-star hotel services, including access to twice-daily housekeeping (additional fee), 24-hour in-room dining, butler service and a world-class concierge. Additionally, they also have direct access to the Palm Court, Champagne Bar, Rose Club, Warren Tricomi Salon, Terrace Room, Grand Ballroom, Guerlain Spa, fitness center, retail shops, and the private gardens and fountains. These and other wonderful amenities have made The Plaza the world's most legendary hotel - perfectly situated on the southeast corner of Central Park and Fifth Avenue.
