Thirty-one floors above Central Park, Residence 3101 at the Essex House takes the rituals of a five-star stay — arrival service, a room built for rest, a view worth waking up to — and makes them simply how you live. This fully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom home is the permanent version of that.

Herringbone oak floors run from the foyer into the living room, where a wall of windows frames the park's full canopy. The kitchen sits along one side: modern taupe cabinetry, richly veined stone, a waterfall-edge island with seating for four, a built-in wine fridge, and a gas cooktop. The primary suite occupies a corner with sweeping northern and eastern exposures — park on one side, skyline on the other — views that shift by the hour from the comfort of the bed.

The second bedroom, reached through a hallway with in-unit laundry, has its own window, a full wall of custom dark cabinetry, and a built-in media console. Both bedrooms are ensuite, finished in stone tile with floating wood vanities, backlit mirrors, copper fixtures, and a glass-enclosed soaking tub.

The Essex House delivers fully on its hotel pedigree. Included in monthly common charges: 24-hour concierge, bell and security staff, fitness center, electricity, and high-speed internet. Available à la carte: 24-hour room service, daily housekeeping and turndown, linen service, clothing valet, spa access, and valet parking. It is, in the most literal sense, hotel living — made permanent.
