Harperley Hall stands as one of Central Park West's most architecturally distinctive buildings, a 12 story Arts and Crafts masterpiece completed in 1911 by architect Henry W. Wilkinson. Named after his ancestral manor house in Northumberland, England, the building was originally conceived as a co-op suitable for artists' studios and featured the renowned Tonalist painter Dwight Tryon among its early investor group. The brown brick façade with limestone base showcases rare glazed tiles in gold, turquoise, and green that burst from the undulating brickwork, creating a distinctive carpet like texture that sets it apart from typical Manhattan apartment buildings.
The building's most striking feature is its T-shaped courtyard entrance on West 64th Street, protected by an elegant wrought iron fence and staffed by a 24 hour manned gatehouse that provides an unusually private and secure residential experience. Unlike most buildings with utilitarian light courts, Harperley Hall's courtyard is beautifully finished with fountains and landscaping, creating a protected oasis. The 85 apartments feature generous proportions, many with 10+ foot ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, and oversized windows, and some offering direct Central Park views. Several units boast private balconies, including a continuous balcony that curves around the building's Central Park West corner.
Madonna famously resided here for several years, using her apartment for dance training and exercise routines, though this led to a notable 2011 legal dispute with an upstairs neighbor over noise complaints. The building also has counted Stephen Burke, CEO of NBC Universal, among its residents. After the original co-op failed in 1941, the building operated as a rental until being reconverted to a cooperative in 1983.
Harperley Hall offers white glove service with a full time doorman, two lushly landscaped roof decks with panoramic Central Park views, an on-site garage, bike storage, and laundry facilities. The prime location directly across from Central Park and just one block from Lincoln Center places residents at the cultural heart of Manhattan, with easy access to world class dining, shopping, and transportation. The building maintains strict policies, including no pied-à-terre ownership.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
