Property Description
Residence 86 is a gracious corner two-bedroom at the famed Dakota. Facing north and west, it sits well above the low-rise buildings around it, allowing for open city views with strong natural light all day.
A large formal gallery sets an elegant tone and leads to an oversized living room and formal dining room. Both are generously proportioned and well suited to entertaining in style. Each of the two bedrooms has its own en-suite bath and ample closet space. The spacious primary bedroom also has a windowed nook, an ideal spot for a home office or a quiet place to read. Soaring ceilings and preserved historic details give the home a sense of character and scale that new construction can't match.
The film critic and New York City icon Rex Reed bought the apartment in 1969 and made it his home for nearly 60 years. Over those decades, these rooms welcomed many of the great theater and film figures of his era. The residence has also been featured in a number of interior design publications. Both the unit and the building are steeped in NYC history.
Completed in 1884, the Dakota rises at 1 West 72nd Street on Central Park West. It was designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh, architect of the Plaza Hotel. It is the oldest surviving luxury apartment building in New York City and a National Historic Landmark. Residents arrive through a gated porte-cochère into a serene central courtyard with beautifully restored original fountains. A full restoration of the facade was completed in 2017. Apartments here rarely come to market, and a sale from a single owner after nearly six decades is rarer still.
A dedicated Resident Manager and an experienced Concierge, Doorman, Engineering and Maintenance staff provide attentive service, privacy and security. The enchanting courtyard is graced by beautifully restored original fountains. The building also has a state-of-the-art Fitness Center, an auxiliary Laundry Room and storage facilities. Pets and pieds-à-terre are permitted, and buyers may finance up to 50%. The Purchaser pays a 3% Transfer Tax. Showings may be scheduled by appointment weekdays from 9 AM to 3 PM and Saturdays from 10AM to 3PM.
