The History of an Exceptional Home
247 Central Park West is a rare example of a surviving single-family residence on one of Manhattan's most prestigious avenues. This picturesque gabled home is one of three remaining townhouses that were originally built as part of a block-long row to rival mansion-lined Fifth Avenue.
William Noble, one of the particularly bright stars of New York City real estate, purchased the property opposite Central Park in 1887. Edward L. Angell, a prolific New York City architect of the late nineteenth century, designed the houses for Noble.
At the time the houses were built, The Real Estate Record and Builder's Guide lauded them as distinctly first-class residences. Among the nine exceptional houses, William Noble chose No. 247 as his own home. Noble lived in the house for five years and hosted many grand celebrations, culminating with his niece's wedding in 1892.

Quick Profile
Home to some of New York City’s most famous buildings like The Dakota, with its enchanting architecture, and the equally impressive San Remo just a couple streets away, Central Park West is one of the most eye-popping neighborhoods to live in.
It is historically renowned for its blending of architecture and residential living. So much so, that it earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is thought to have some of the most diverse and beautiful skylines in all of New York and has drawn celebrity residents for decades
If world-class architecture isn’t enough for you, there are plenty of warm brownstones to be found as well. There is so much to do in Central Park West, the most obvious being in the name of the neighborhood itself. With Central Park running the length of one of its borders, there’s easy access to the park and all its wonders, running trails, row boats, and bridges. If you prefer the indoors, the American Museum of Natural History is at your service.
There are few places in the world that can match Central Park West’s varied combination of urban and residential charm, elegance, and spirit.
