101 Central Park W

A distinguished prewar cooperative on Central Park West, this red-brick, 18-story building was completed in 1928 and designed by the prolific firm Schwartz & Gross. Its façade features a three-story limestone base with decorative window surrounds and classical ornamentation; multiple elevator banks provide semi-private and attended access. Residences are large, prewar layouts—three- to six-bedroom plans are common—with high ceilings, herringbone or dark-stained hardwood floors, working wood‑burning fireplaces, and expansive formal rooms and galleries suited to grand entertaining. Many homes include original moldings, built-ins, separate staff rooms or converted offices, multiple terraces or balconies, generous walk-in closets, and windowed eat-in kitchens with chef-quality appliance packages in renovated units. The building operates as white‑glove with 24-hour doormen, concierge and resident manager, elevator operators, and a door staff; on-site services and storage bins accompany private locker assignments. Shared amenities comprise a state-of-the-art fitness center, bike room, and owner storage; select apartments have multi-elevator privacy. Board policies are traditional but flexible: pets and pieds-à-terre are considered with approval and financing up to about 50% is typically permitted. Located between 70th and 71st Street, the building offers immediate Central Park frontage and skyline views in a storied, highly walkable Upper West Side neighborhood.
