The Berkeley House

The Berkeley House is a 21-story prewar cooperative on Central Park South, completed in 1942 and characterized by classic New York architecture and gracious interior details. Units range from studios to four-bedroom layouts, many featuring high ceilings, crown moldings, sunken living rooms, formal dining areas, eat-in kitchens with windows, ample storage and walk-in closets. Several apartments offer large picture windows and private outdoor terraces with direct, unobstructed views of Central Park. The building operates as a white-glove, full-service coop with 24-hour doormen, concierge, on-site resident manager, porter and handyman staff, plus common laundry, bicycle and private storage rooms. Services and rules are coop-governed: pied-a-terre ownership, sublets, foreign buyers, trusts and LLC purchases are permitted under stated policies; financing up to 75% is commonly referenced and a buyer-paid flip tax applies. Pet ownership and in-unit washer/dryers are allowed subject to board approval. Located at 120 Central Park South, the property places residents within immediate walking distance of Fifth Avenue shopping, Columbus Circle/Time Warner Center, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, major theaters, museums and multiple transit options, offering a lifestyle that blends parkside tranquility with ready access to Manhattan’s cultural and retail destinations.
