The Hawthorne at 128 Central Park South is a distinguished prewar apartment building built in 1924 and converted to cooperative ownership in 1984. This Italian Renaissance palazzo style limestone building rises 16 stories and houses just 56 units, with no more than four apartments per floor ensuring privacy and exclusivity. The building sits on one of Central Park South's most elegant blocks, positioned between iconic neighbors including Trump Parc, Essex House, Hampshire House, and the New York Athletic Club. Billy Joel has been among the notable residents of this prestigious address.
The building's apartments are characterized by prewar charm with high ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, and spectacular Central Park views from north facing units. Many residences feature windowed eat in kitchens, in-unit washer/dryers, and private service entrances. The penthouse level offers exceptional outdoor space, with one unit boasting 3,000 square feet of terraces and 100 feet of park frontage. Several apartments have been meticulously renovated by award winning architects, including designs by Thomas Leeser, featuring custom elements like reclaimed teak doors, Valcucine kitchens, and spa quality bathrooms.
The Hawthorne provides full service amenities including a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, recently renovated lobby and hallways, basement storage, and central laundry facilities. The building is notably pet friendly with no flip tax, and welcomes pied-a-terres and unlimited subletting after one year of ownership.
The location offers unparalleled access to Manhattan's cultural and shopping destinations. Central Park serves as the front yard, while Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle, the Theater District, Fifth Avenue shopping, and Bergdorf Goodman are all within walking distance. This prime positioning on "Billionaire's Row" combines the tranquility of park views with the vibrancy of Midtown Manhattan's finest attractions.

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.
