A
rare half-floor corner home in one of New York City's oldest co-ops has listed for $34 million, a discount from its original price nearly 10 years ago. The sprawling apartment, located at 101 Central Park West, spans 7,000 square feet and boasts unobstructed views of the park.
The current owner, whose identity is shielded by an LLC, purchased the unit in 2016 for $35.33 million. This sale marked a significant drop from its original price, with the new listing being $133,600 cheaper than the previous sale. The apartment features five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two half baths, as well as luxurious touches like woodburning fireplaces and a high-tech lighting system.
The primary suite includes a home office, dressing room, and powder room, while the real draw of this home is its 100-foot windows offering unobstructed views of Central Park. A private wraparound terrace in the north wing provides fresh air and takes advantage of the stunning park views.
101 Central Park West has been home to several notable residents, including actors Harrison Ford and Rick Moranis, media heiress Georgina Bloomberg, and Keith Anderson, a co-founder of BlackRock. The building is considered a "white glove co-op," with 24-hour doorman service and $18,436-a-month maintenance fees.
Completed in 1930 by renowned architects Simon Schwartz and Arthur Gross, the limestone and brick neo-renaissance style building has a rich history as one of the few Central Park West apartments that welcomed Jewish residents during the 1930s and 1940s. The listing is held by Alexa Lambert, Victoria Shtainer, and Marc Achilles of Compass.
