The Berkeley House

The Berkeley House is a 21-story, 1942 prewar cooperative located on Central Park South in Manhattan. The 34-unit building presents traditional Art Deco and prewar interior details across a mix of studios through four-bedroom residences. Typical apartment features include high beamed ceilings, hardwood parquet or wide-plank floors, formal foyers and dining areas, crown moldings, generous built-in storage and walk-in closets, windowed kitchens and separate eat-in or formal dining rooms. Many homes offer large picture windows and direct, unobstructed views over Central Park; several units have terraces or private outdoor space. Common building services emphasize full-service white-glove living: 24-hour doormen and concierge, an on-site resident manager/superintendent, porters and maintenance staff. Shared amenities include renovated laundry facilities, bicycle room and storage bins (with a waitlist), and permitted in-unit washer/dryers in many apartments. The co-op’s policies are notably flexible for a classic full-service building: pied-à-terre ownership, subletting (subject to board rules), co-purchases, foreign buyers, trusts and LLCs are allowed; small pets are permitted (case-by-case). Located steps from Fifth Avenue, Lincoln Center, Times Warner Center, Broadway theaters and world-class museums and shopping, the building anchors an upscale, culturally rich urban lifestyle with Central Park literally across the street.
