Set directly across from Central Park, Residence 4C is a sun-filled two-bedroom, two-bathroom home where oversized windows frame treetop views and bring incredible natural light throughout the day. The living and dining rooms are genuinely oversized, with multiple exposures, hardwood floors and custom millwork throughout. The windowed kitchen has abundant cabinetry and counter space, while the primary suite features custom storage and a renovated en-suite windowed bathroom with double sinks and a large walk-in shower. A separate second bedroom overlooking the park works beautifully as a den, library or home office, with pocket doors that open the spaces up for entertaining. Storage is abundant throughout, including a walk-in closet off the entry foyer, and each room has its own independently controlled PTAC unit. 257 Central Park West has been thoughtfully updated beyond the apartment, too. The renovated lobby and hallways have been recently refreshed, the gym is fully equipped, and the landscaped furnished roof deck has incredible views over the Central Park Reservoir and Manhattan skyline. There's also a full-time doorman, live-in super, children's playroom, bike storage and additional storage. Pets and pied-à-terres are permitted with Board approval, with financing up to 75%. The building allows you to install WD in the unit. Directly across from Central Park at 86th Street, with the B/C trains outside your door and the Great Lawn and American Museum of Natural History all close by. Barney Greengrass is around the corner, Zabar's is down the street, and some of the neighborhood's best restaurants line Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues. It's a part of the Upper West Side that feels distinctly New York. Note there is currently an assessment of $1,070 through 4/30/2027. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 6 - **Stories**: 12 - **Year Built**: 1906 - **Common Charges**: $3,573 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 9, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 3 Days ### Residence Features - Building Other - Building Roof Deck - High Ceilings - Dishwasher - Park/Greenbelt ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 15 apartments at The Orwell House have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $5,100,000 in April 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable two-bedroom sales at The Orwell House is $2,012,500, based on 4 sales between January 2022 and March 2024. This home is asking $2,200,000, $187,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,662,500 and $2,346,250. - **Median closed price**: $2,012,500 - **Middle half**: $1,662,500 – $2,346,250 - **Based on**: 4 two-bedroom sales at The Orwell House - **Period**: January 2022 – March 2024 Square footage is recorded for only 0 of these 4 sales (0%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.6% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 96.6% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 3 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 66 days (about 9 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 96 days (about 14 weeks) Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.6% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 66 days (about 9 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 4 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 96 days (about 14 weeks), based on the 4 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 4 two-bedroom sales at The Orwell House, January 2022 – March 2024. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper West Side, 2016 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $1,400,000 | 21 | | 2017 | $1,525,000 | 134 | | 2018 | $1,475,000 | 144 | | 2019 | $1,472,500 | 144 | | 2020 | $1,351,200 | 78 | | 2021 | $1,350,000 | 222 | | 2022 | $1,500,000 | 195 | | 2023 | $1,395,000 | 142 | | 2024 | $1,446,500 | 144 | | 2025 | $1,390,000 | 151 | | 2026 | $1,420,000 | 79 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Upper West Side instead. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
