Sale at 333 Central Park West #56

Unless you know this building, I hope no one is going to use this to make the argument that in general you can get 9's on CPW for under $3M.

30yr: I'm with you, if they can't get 2mm for a cool spread in the uber cool south eastern extreme section of morningside heights, how the hell are they going to get 3mm at 101 cpw with a bunch of old folks living there?

Am I the only person on this board who likes the Turin? They can't all be 88 CPW.

#56 is nothing special, but neither was #36, and it sold for $4.65MM.

stop me if a wrong....what a deal!

i saw this unit at the previous price...not the best views in most rooms, and a strange flow, but certainly huge! Im sure it will sell with this latest cut, and Ill put my bets at over 2M in the end.

UD: You see a lot more renos than I do. Is this one as penny-wise/pound-foolish as I think it is? My guess is they cost themselves at least $500K on the sale by skimping on about $50-100K worth of finishes.

"Am I the only person on this board who likes the Turin?"

Maybe...... ;)

It's typical Victorian architecture with lots of small rooms facing back into the building, which in general I am not very fond of (building usually look "glove shaped" with the apartments running down the fingers). Although I do like the usual details which you get - usually fairly ornate with very high ceilings. Usually square footage wise they ate the smallest vs others with the same room count.

Huge? I'm curious what you think the actual SF is?

p09: you consider CPW & 93-94 'morningside south"?

I consider it UWS in the 90s. To me, Morningside connotes Columbia.

What detail? I've been in 106, can't say that the ceilings were very high or that there were many ornate details (interior).

you think that's the original finishes?

Bad bedroom layout. The northeast bedroom has no bath access, so has to use the old maid's bath off the laundry room. On other floors that bedroom either shares the master bath or, as in #106, has been combined with the master as a sort of study or dressing room.

Nope, but none of the pictures of 56 or 36 showed any ornate finishes. I just assumed that most of them were stripped a long time time ago.

Agree with West81st re: #56's renovation. Looks too landlord-/sponsor-ish. E.g., having decided to put down white marble in the front hall, why stop halfway? Or why not run the (cheap-looking) kitchen cabinets up to the ceiling? If you're going for piss-elegant you really do need to go for it.

I'd put up with a lot of layout issues for the sake of a grand feel, but the Turin doesn't have the requisite wide rooms and high ceilings.

I like The Turin. Was seriously considering an offer as the price has come down quite a bit but decided not to. I agree the layout is a little weird. The living/dining areas are probably the only two rooms I would leave as is. The other rooms need some renovation. Basically, I think if you like a lot of space, that's what you'll be buying. The common hallway is not fancy or special-looking - I expected more. I believe they have received offers on this place but I can't imagine the offers to be very high as they have all been turned down.
