230 Central Park W

Completed in 1926, this 16-story prewar cooperative on Central Park West blends classic architectural detail with full-service building operations. The property houses studio and two-bedroom residences characterized by high ceilings, oversized picture windows, original hardwood floors, crown moldings and built-in millwork; many units retain formal foyers, separate dining areas and generous closets including walk-ins. Interiors commonly feature renovated kitchens with granite or quartz counters, pantry space, recessed lighting and some in-unit laundry configurations. Common facilities emphasize curated social and outdoor spaces: a professionally planted, furnished rooftop terrace with sweeping park and skyline views and event service sink; an elegantly appointed small ballroom for gatherings; a residents’ library/community room; bike room; basement laundry; and private storage lockers. Building services are robust, with 24-hour doorman and concierge coverage, a live-in superintendent and porters. Policies are buyer-friendly for a prewar co-op: pets, pied-à-terre ownership, guarantors, co-purchasing and up to 75% financing are typically permitted. The location at 83rd Street places the building directly across from Central Park and within easy walking distance of the American Museum of Natural History, grocery purveyors, restaurants and multiple subway and bus lines, delivering a quintessential Upper West Side lifestyle.
