336 Central Park W

Completed in 1929 and rising fifteen stories, this prewar cooperative on Central Park West was designed by Schwartz & Gross and displays an Art Deco presence with decorative brickwork and a sculptural cornice. The building contains a small number of large residences—primarily two- and three-bedroom plans arranged as Classic Sixes and larger combinations—each retaining period details such as high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, built-in bookcases, hardwood floors and fireplaces. Common areas reflect the era with an articulated lobby and preserved architectural moldings; the elevator service is attended, typically serving two apartments per landing, and the staff suite includes a live-in superintendent, doormen and elevator attendants. Resident amenities are white-glove in scale: a playroom, bike room, laundry facilities and private storage units in the basement accompany additional conveniences like on-site maintenance and delivery handling. Many apartments have private outdoor space under 60 sq ft and windowed kitchens; several homes have been updated with modern systems, through-the-wall or central air conditioning in zoned configurations, and in-unit washers and dryers where allowed. The co-op is pet-friendly, permits pied-a-terres in many cases, and benefits from an Upper West Side address directly across from Central Park, with immediate access to cultural institutions, transit, restaurants and grocery shopping.
