The Central Park West section of the Upper West Side is known for its singular prewar architecture, and a prime example of that can be found at 239 Central Park West. The prewar, neo-Renaissance building was designed by Sugarman & Berger, the team behind the New Yorker Hotel, The White House, and 685 West End Avenue. It was converted in 1980; since then, residents have appreciated its grand entrance, spacious apartments, and easy access to Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, the 86th Street subway station, and the best of Columbus Avenue dining. Amenities include a fitness center, central laundry room, and common courtyard.
Architecture critic Carter Horsley takes issue with the fact that the building does not have a roof terrace, but that is hardly necessary for residents of penthouse #PHB: With approximately 2,000 square feet of terrace space, this 1,800-square-foot apartment has more exterior space than interior. The two-bedroom, two-bath apartment has just gone on the market for $3.5 million.
