Sale at 115 Central Park West #12CW

That is one ghastly floorplan. It's a pity, as the woodwork, cabinetry, and other finishes look to be of good quality (though I'm not a fan of that grasscloth-look wallpaper). Lots of expensive materials covering up a mediocre layout. It's too bad that 12CW wasn't carved up the same way as 9CW was -- a far more civilized plan.

Same building, 9th floor. Not the same level of finishes as 12CW, but at a similar price I would bet on this going first. The kitchen could be redone later.

I guess the pre-1957 landlord was looking for a certain mix of sizes when splitting up whichever unrentable C-lines were available. On 9 the west apartment got a south-facing bedroom suite that on 12 went to the east apartment.

NWT I noticed that when I tried to find another CW line to compare to the 12th floor. Lucky for 9CW that there might have been a tenant in place at the time of the split up.

Interesting, there's a door in the dining room that does not show on the floorplan.

That's the back door to the freight elevator. You take your garbage out through the dining room.

The second bedroom has an ensuite bath but the master doesn't Not acceptable at $2.5MM.
