Welcome to Residence 8BC at The Osborne, a one of a kind prewar studio ideally located steps from Central Park. A woodburning fireplace anchors the home, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

Oversized wood-framed windows, crown moldings, walls of custom built-ins, two full walls of handsome burnished shelves and cabinets, and original hand-nailed Parquet de Versailles oak floors with a decorative inlay border highlight the building s craftsmanship.

A Murphy bed is discreetly tucked away, maximizing functionality and space. The oversized windowed bathroom provides ample counter and storage space. There is plentiful space for kitchen expansion. Please refer to the alternate floor plan which illustrates this configuration.

Cash only purchases, financing is not permitted. However, 50% refinancing is possible with the addition of a kitchen. The Osborne is a New York City cultural and historic landmark built in 1885 by Thomas Osborne and designed by James Ware with a mix of Italian Renaissance and Romanesque Revival style.

This iconic building is known for its opulent architectural details, soaring ceilings, and Tiffany mosaics and stained glass windows. It is New York s singular Beaux Arts apartment building. Neighboring Carnegie Hall, the friendship between these two landmarks can be mapped through previous residents of The Osborne including Leonard Bernstein, Bobby Short, Lynn Redgrave, and Van Cliburn.

The lobby showcases old world elegance with ornate woodwork, gilded ceilings, and glazed terracotta Della Robbia paneled walls. The furnished and landscaped roofdeck is a peaceful retreat with sweeping views of Central Park. The Osborne is a full service co-op featuring a 24 hour doorman, live-in super, state of the art fitness center, storage, bike room, package room, and laundry room.

Residents are just two blocks away from Central Park and enjoy close proximity to an unmatched concentration of cultural institutions including Columbus Circle, Lincoln Center, the Museum of Modern Art, and Carnegie Hall. Pets are welcome. 3% flip tax. Co-purchasing and pied-a-terres are permitted with board approval. Some of these images have been virtually staged.
