420 Central Park W

A six-story prewar condominium built in 1941, this intimate Upper West Side building contains 15 residences composed primarily of studio and one-bedroom plans. The exterior presents classic prewar massing and restrained Art Deco details consistent with the neighborhood; the low-rise scale and modest footprint maintain a quiet, residential presence across from Central Park. Interiors commonly display high ceilings, original hardwood floors, natural woodwork and architectural elements such as arched doorways and plaster moldings. Many units feature open or flexible floorplans with defined dining areas, windowed kitchens, generous closets and washer/dryer hookup provisions; some listings note renovated kitchens and bathrooms while preserving original details. On-site services and provisions include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, elevator access, building storage, bike room and shared laundry in the basement. The pet-friendly condominium is investor-friendly and permits immediate rentals subject to condo approval. Location is a primary draw: direct frontage to Central Park with nearby B/C subway access, M10 bus, grocery and retail at Columbus Square, and neighborhood green spaces and recreational points like the Pool Pond and North Meadow within easy walking distance.
