Overview of The Central at 250 West 88th Street

The Central is an eight story, 60 unit pre-war condominium at 250 West 88th Street on the Upper West Side. Built in 1910, its red brick façade rises from a two story limestone base with limestone quoins, while a rooftop addition is capped by barrel vaulted skylights. A top floor residence translates that rooftop volume into a loft style layout with a skylight and double-height ceilings.

The apartment mix runs from studios with separated sleeping areas to corner one bedroom homes and split two bedroom layouts. Corner plans bring paired exposures, while oversized windows, high ceilings, hardwood floors and walk-in closets recur. Open kitchens also figure in a number of renovated layouts.

The building has a 24 hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, central air conditioning, a central laundry room, bicycle storage and resident storage. It is smoke free and pet free. The 1 train stops at 86th Street and Broadway, two blocks south, with Riverside Park to the west and Central Park to the east.
