320 Central Park W

The Ardsley is a landmarked, 22-story Art Deco cooperative on Central Park West built in 1931 by Emery Roth. Sixty rare units occupy the tower’s generous floor plates, configured primarily as one- to three-bedroom homes that preserve prewar proportions: high, beamed ceilings, crown moldings, original oak or herringbone hardwood floors and oversized casement windows. Many apartments retain or have been restored to reveal original details and built-ins, while others have been comprehensively renovated with modern kitchens and mechanicals. Common spaces reflect the building’s period character and recent restoration — a dramatic restored Art Deco lobby, a landscaped courtyard, and multiple service rooms. Resident amenities are robust for a prewar coop: full-time doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, porter and maintenance staff, a recently updated fitness center with a yoga area, children’s playroom with lending library, bike rooms, multiple storage rooms, basement laundry facilities and a dog-washing station. The co-op board allows pets, washer/dryers and pieds-à-terre on a case-by-case basis and permits substantial financing subject to board rules. Located directly across from Central Park near the reservoir and tennis courts, the building combines classic prewar architecture with white-glove service and immediate access to park recreation, neighborhood groceries, restaurants and transit.
