239 Central Park W

Built in 1926 and rising 15 stories, this prewar cooperative on Central Park West blends Neo‑Renaissance and Italian Gothic detailing by Sugarman & Berger. The masonry façade and carved ornament give the property a stately, historic presence opposite Central Park. Interiors emphasize classic scale: high beamed ceilings, oversized windows, original herringbone and parquet floors, crown moldings, and working wood‑burning fireplaces in many residences. Units are typically multi‑room three‑bedroom layouts (often converted from original larger plans), featuring entrance foyers, formal dining rooms, windowed eat‑in kitchens with pantry space, den/staff rooms that often serve as home offices, abundant closets and storage, and well‑proportioned public rooms with generous natural light and multiple exposures. The building offers full white‑glove services including a 24‑hour doorman, resident manager/superintendent, and attended elevators; shared amenities include a staffed lobby, a windowed fitness center, central laundry, bicycle room, and private storage (waitlist common). There is limited private outdoor space in select units and a garden/courtyard. Pets are permitted, financing typically allowed up to 50% and a 2% flip tax applies. Located on a premier Upper West Side block, the coop places residents within immediate reach of Central Park, museums, dining, shops and transit.
