Property Description for 262 Central Park West, 3-D

GRAND CLASSIC 6 ON CENTRAL PARK WEST

NEW TO MARKET! A majestic classic 6-room home of glorious scale and proportions at approximately 2,000 SF in a distinguished luxury pre-war cooperative on Central Park West. Residence 3D at The White House at 262 Central Park West is a sprawling 2-bedroom 2.5-bathroom home with a huge entertaining living room, grand formal dining room, oversized eat-in kitchen, a large service room easily used as a bedroom or home office as well as fabulous closet space and storage throughout. All of this comes together in a glorious prewar doorman building, just moments from Central Park, the Museum of Natural History and the best of the prime Upper West Side.

Entered by way of a semi-private landing, this residence opens to a foyer which has a huge coat closet and leads to a gracious square gallery laid in timeless herringbone wood floors found throughout the entertaining wing. The residence's layout is elegant and intuitive, with an easy flow between rooms and unusually large proportions throughout. The entertaining areas are all situated in the west wing of the home, crowned by a stately living room stretching nearly 24' deep. The living room is anchored by a handsome decorative marble fireplace and a west-facing wall of windows that overlook leafy courtyard gardens, drawing in warm afternoon sun.

The formal dining room is immediately adjacent to the living room and easily accommodates large holiday gatherings or the most elaborate sunset-lit dinner parties. Just beyond, the oversized double-windowed eat-in kitchen has a wet bar with sink and wine fridge alongside the dining room, a huge pantry closet and a central breakfast island for casual dining. There is also a staff room currently configured as an office, appointed with a windowed powder room and washer/dryer.

The bedrooms are situated in their own wing of the home away from the entertaining spaces, as is ideal. Both bedrooms are king-sized and have fabulous closet space. The primary bedroom suite features two walk-in closets, extensive built-ins and a windowed en-suite bathroom with a double vanity and a stall shower. The second bedroom rivals the primary in scale, with an enormous customized walk-in closet and wall-to-wall built in shelving. The home's second windowed full bathroom located just next door.

Built in 1928, 262 Central Park West is also known as The White House, celebrated for its graceful white facade and intricate brickwork rising from a three-story limestone base. The marble lobby has been beautifully maintained and showcases detailed woodwork within its vaulted ceilings. Building services and amenities include a full-time doorman and a concierge, live-in resident manager, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a new playroom, a half-court basketball court, meeting room, central laundry, bicycle storage as well as dedicated private storage. Spanning 86th to 87th Streets, this coveted address places residents at the center of the best the Upper West Side has to offer. Just beyond the door are countless renowned restaurants, charming cafés, and boutique shopping as well as world-class cultural institutions such as the Museum of Natural History and, of course, Central Park. Pieds-a-terre and pets are permitted with approval. There is a flip tax of 2% payable by the purchaser, and financing is allowed up to 50%.

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.
