About 65 Central Park West
Everyone loves the nighttime sparkle of the lit trees at Tavern-on-the-Green in Central Park, but the residents of this 16-story cooperative apartment building might be a bit blasé since the spectacle is virtually in their front yard.
There is, of course, much else to see from this prime parkfront site, such as the glories of the midtown and Upper East Side skylines.
The 110-unit building was erected in 1926 just before the Central Park West skyline sprouted with its famed multi-towered apartment palazzi and this building is relatively sedate for such a prime site.
Although it is a block north of the 65th Street park transverse road and a block south of the entrance to Tavern-on-the-Green, it is in the midst of considerable traffic, but its location also offers proximity to the Lincoln Center district, one of the city's most desirable because of both the cultural facilities and the area's extensive prime retail.
The building, which has a two-story stone base and a masonry facade, was converted to a cooperative in 1987.
