The legendary Beresford is the preeminent prewar landmark building not only of Central Park West, but the entire city. Designed by famed architect, Emery Roth, it was constructed in 1928 – 1929, on the site of a hotel of the same name. The Beresford majestically sits twenty-two stories tall on the corner of Central Park West and 81st Street with three illuminated towers, two main facades and three separate entrances. As the expert resident broker for many years, it is a thrill for me to sell in my own building that provides breathtaking grand scale layouts with ballroom-sized rooms, soaring 10 foot ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, terraces, unparalleled architectural details, and private or semi-private elevator landings. Co-oped in 1962, its residents enjoy the finest white-glove service and top security with 24 hour doormen and elevatormen, a state-of-the-art fitness club, huge storage rooms, bike and laundry rooms, and incredibly low maintenances. Home to celebrities, luminaries, politicians and CEOs, The Beresford is truly crème de la crème!
