Property Description for 55 Central Park West, 2-B

Welcome to 55 Central Park West, an Art Deco gem along New York's glorious Central Park West.

Colloquially known as "the Ghostbuster building" - the plot of the 1984 comedy revolves heavily around it - prior residents include Ginger Rogers, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and Broadway composer, Jerry Herman. A true NYC landmark.

A large bedroom with three closets comfortably allows room for a king-size bed with night stands, and room for a home office. The Jack-and-Jill bath with its original cast iron tub is easily accessible from the living area for guests, and allows privacy to your bedroom. The windowed galley kitchen, separate from the dinning and living area, is fully equipped and awaits your finishing touches.

Central Park West | Manhattan

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.
