Overview of The Cherbourg at 322 Central Park West

The Cherbourg is a 16 story co-op at 322 Central Park West, designed by George and Edward Blum in 1925 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1962. The boutique building contains just 48 residences, with semi-private elevator landings serving only one or two apartments per floor. The three story limestone base and terra cotta and carved stone façade reflect the Beaux Arts design sensibility for which the Blum Brothers were known. The building overlooks Central Park with direct views of the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, and its entrance is located on West 92nd Street.

Apartments at The Cherbourg feature classic pre-war layouts, predominantly Classic 6 and Classic 8 configurations. Many units retain original details including wood burning fireplaces, high beamed ceilings with crown moldings, and large picture windows framing park views. The building's east facing apartments feature particularly desirable direct Central Park and Reservoir views. 

Building amenities include a 24 hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, fitness room, bike room, laundry room, and private storage bins that convey with each apartment at no additional cost. The recently renovated elevator cabs are doorman controlled for enhanced security. The building permits up to 50% financing, welcomes pets, charges no flip tax, and allows pieds-à-terre on a case by case basis. The location offers proximity to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, the Museum of Natural History, and Trinity School, with subway access four blocks away at 96th Street.

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" prewar gem boasts a "beautiful" lobby that "exudes old-world charm". While the gym is "compact", the building's "prime" location near numerous educational institutions and its "well-maintained" facilities make it a "coveted" address. Insiders note the co-op board maintains a "reasonable" approval process.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

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.
