The Orwell House, an elegant pre-war cooperative building located at 257 Central Park West and 86th Street, was designed by the architectural firm Milliken & Moeller in 1906. Originally known as the Hotel Peter Stuyvesant, the building stands as a testament to the early 20th century residential development of the Upper West Side, positioned at a prime corner location overlooking Central Park.
The structure represents the work of Milliken & Moeller, a firm that contributed to New York City's architectural landscape during the early 1900s. Its position at the intersection of 86th Street and Central Park West places it along one of Manhattan's most significant cross-town thoroughfares.
Today, The Orwell House operates as a full-service cooperative, maintaining its historic character while offering modern amenities. The building features a full staff including doormen and a resident manager, demonstrating its commitment to service and security.
The cooperative's current policies welcome both pets and pied-à-terres, and residents benefit from practical amenities including storage facilities, a bike room, an updated laundry facility, and a small parking garage. Its location provides convenient access to public transportation, recreational spaces, and local amenities.

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.
