Beautifully restored five bedroom triplex by Central Park - sleeps 8.  Map

This 8 person, 5 bedroom apartment is located in a historic area in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The streets are lined with trees and townhouses built in the late 19th century. The entrance to Central Park is directly across the street - and it's only a short stroll to the Charles A Dana Discovery Center, (110th street) the only environmental education center in the park, a great stop for families, where the centre features many different programs from musical performances to catch-and-release fishing in the Harlem Meer (106th street).

From the park's entrance it's a 20 minute walk to Summit Rock (83rd street), the highest elevation point in the park with lovely 360 degree views. There are great spots nearby for brunch and dinner, as well as a full service gourmet grocery around the corner. The nearest subway is a 7 minute walk away at 110th street.

This three floor apartment is on the second, third and fourth floors of a beautifully restored townhouse (built in 1888) with high ceilings and hardwood floors throughout. A spiral staircase links the three floors and the apartment sleeps eight in 2 double bedrooms, a twin and 2 singles. There are 2 full bathrooms.

Wireless internet is available, there is no phone service.

The entrance to the apartment, on the second floor (no lift), opens to the living area (19ft x 15ft 9, 5.8m x 4.8m) where you'll find a leather sofa, 3 easy chairs, an ottoman, fireplace with original artwork above, sizeable oriental rug and a large television (local channels).

The décor is a mix of contemporary and classic furniture styles combined with an antique feel, reminiscent of the building and its history.

The dining room (9ft x 8ft, 2.75m x 2.45m) is located conveniently adjacent to the kitchen and living area. It has a classic oval wooden table and 6 white leather chairs.
