444 Central Park West, 6H

Who wouldn't want a family sized apartment on Central Park West for under $2M? Yes you may need to travel a bit farther north to get it, but we came across a fully renovated, 3 exposure, classic 5 sponsor unit at 444 Central Park West for $1.695M.  We opened up the dining room and kitchen to create a 44 foot long great room with 3 distinct living spaces - formal living, dining, and casual living, as well as a 3 real bedrooms.  The second bedroom, at nearly 20 ft long, was easily reconfigured into 2 good sized bedrooms with a shared bath and minimal disruption to existing walls (aside from taking about 1 ft from the deep closets).  

The kitchen was awkward, so we pushed it out to create an open counter, and also sunk the fridge into half of the "laundry room" (does anyone need a laundry room in their apartment?).  Or should we have turned this back to a powder room?

What do you think?
