The Beresford at 211 Central Park West #15E

50 Ft. Terrace Overlooking Central Park
THE BERESFORD
Something wonderful is located on the 15th floor of one of Central Park West’s most prestigious prewar cooperatives, where a rare 8-room terraced prize enjoys 50-feet fronting Central Park. The grand public rooms of the residence radiate off of an impressive 21-foot gallery. They include a 28-foot-by-17-foot living room for many enchanted evenings by a terrace which has CPW’s most uniquely situated outlook over Central Park (the Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum and 211 CPW , all with the same park mid-point field of vision). The adjacent library, which also faces Central Park could easily serve as a third bedroom if needed. An elegant 21-foot formal dining room has Southern exposure and is entered through double-doors off the gallery. The Western wing of the home also includes a sprawling 22-foot kitchen with a breakfast room that could easily serve as an office. There is a separate laundry area and a 10-foot staff room with a full-bath. The light-filled master suite with top rank central Central Park views, access to the terrace where it might as well always be spring has a large master bath and two ample walk-in closets. There is a second, spacious bedroom with a full bath and a wall of closets which faces West. Built in 1929 by legendary architect Emery Roth, the Beresford is distinguished by its three towers. Constructed in beige brick, the 23-story building has a three-story base and ornamentation is limestone. The details of the building display Italian Renaissance motifs and rich classical treatments with rosettes, balustrades, cherubs, escutcheons, cartouches, swan neck pediments, swags, and bucraniums. Residents enjoy the highest levels of service and privacy. There is a fully-equipped fitness center and storage is also available. Central Park is just steps away, as is the Museum of Natural History.
