The Beresford — Apartment FLR 3-H

211 Central Park West, New York, NY

Welcome to The Beresford, one of Central Park West’s most celebrated architectural masterpieces. Designed by Emery Roth and completed in 1929, this Renaissance Revival landmark is defined by its three iconic octagonal towers, elegant courtyard, and unmatched presence along Central Park. As one of the “grand dames” of the Upper West Side—alongside The Dakota and The San Remo—The Beresford remains a symbol of New York sophistication, history, and enduring craftsmanship.

Apartment 3H is a home that reflects the building’s legacy: gracious, refined, and built for elegant living. From the attended elevator, you enter a private elevator vestibule shared with only one other residence—an uncommon luxury that sets the tone for privacy and discretion. A beautiful archway frames the welcoming foyer, creating a classic prewar procession into the residence.

A Home Designed for Modern Living and Classic Entertaining

To the left of the foyer, the eat-in kitchen is fully outfitted for the culinary enthusiast with a Viking stove, oven, and dishwasher, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher. The kitchen also features a pantry, wet bar with a Viking wine fridge and ice maker, and a washer/dryer, making it as functional as it is refined.

Connected directly to the kitchen and wet bar is the expansive dining room, easily accommodating a table for twelve plus additional furniture. Perfectly positioned for seamless entertaining, the dining room flows into an elegant living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with original decorative detailing—an authentic prewar moment rarely found today.

Private Quarters & Flexible Layout

The first bedroom suite features a large closet and a separate sitting room ideal as a nursery, office, or dressing room. The primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet and comfortably fits a king-sized bed. All bathrooms are outfitted with radiant heated floors, elevating daily comfort year-round.

The home receives both northern and southern light, creating a bright, balanced atmosphere throughout the day. For year-round comfort, the home also features central air conditioning.

For those seeking additional flexibility, the layout allows for creation of a third en-suite bedroom by annexing a portion of the dining room and connecting it to the full bath off the kitchen.

Throughout the residence, multiple hall closets provide abundant storage.
