The Beresford

At the center of a string of stately apartment buildings overlooking Central Park is The Beresford in the Upper West Side, whose Art Deco design, historic and architectural significance, and well-known residents have made it one of Manhattan’s more renowned pre-war co-ops. At 211 Central Park West, The Beresford is across the street from the Museum of Natural History and near a dense concentration of restaurants and shops along Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues to the west.

The Beresford’s 23 floors are home to residences with ten-foot ceilings, unusually high for pre-war units, intricate floor plans that create intimate spaces, and exquisite Art Deco detailing. Large windows give residents at The Beresford spectacular views of Central Park and much of Manhattan, while many apartments have private elevator landings, a common feature at the time of The Beresford’s construction. Every apartment for sale at The Beresford is as customizable as can be, but all bathrooms feature luxurious tiling and marble accents for a calming and sumptuous feel. Like its sister buildings, The San Remo and The Eldorado, The Beresford has a number of design features not commonly seen in contemporary apartments such as maids’ quarters, libraries, and formal dining rooms.

What would The Beresford be without its wide-ranging amenities? Upon entering a recently-renovated Art Deco lobby, each resident is greeted by doormen and a concierge service, only to be brought to their apartment by personal elevator service. In addition, Beresford residents have access to bike storage, a private fitness center, and extra individual storage. All of that, as well as the prestige of living in one of Manhattan’s prized co-ops for its architecture, history, and luxurious apartments, continues to make 211 Central Park West an incredibly desirable address.
