Description

THE WILLIAM NOBLE HOUSE

A Storied Address. A Private World on Central Park.

Some homes reveal themselves at once. Others invite you to discover them.

Behind its remarkably preserved Queen Anne facade, 247 Central Park West holds a world few would imagine from the street: six levels of extraordinary space, secluded terraces, a dramatic central light dome, and a nearly 60-foot indoor lap pool-all directly overlooking Central Park.

One of the last remaining single-family townhouses along this iconic avenue, the William Noble House spans more than 12,270 square feet and measures over 22 feet in width. Its scale is exceptional. Its presence, unmistakable.

Beyond the entrance, a grand foyer opens to an expansive main living room, where soaring ceilings and remarkable proportions create a setting equally suited to intimate evenings and memorable gatherings. Overhead, the central light dome draws daylight deep into the residence, revealing unexpected perspectives as you move through the home.

Just below, generous dining and kitchen spaces lead to a quiet terrace-a private pause amid the rhythm of Manhattan. Farther within, an indoor lap pool and dedicated fitness area offer a retreat entirely your own.

A private elevator connects every level. The primary suite occupies the second floor, with a spacious dressing room, a private bathroom, and access to another secluded terrace. Above, a tiered media room and generously proportioned guest bedroom give way to two additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. At the top of the house, a bright bedroom enjoys open city views.

The final discovery awaits outdoors: a rooftop terrace overlooking the vast landscape of Central Park.

The house's story began in 1887, when developer William Noble commissioned architect Edward Angell to design a distinguished row of nine townhouses. Noble chose this residence for himself. Completed in 1889, it is now one of only three surviving homes from that original ensemble.

Over the years, celebrated artists, influential political figures, and notable families have formed part of its history. Behind the enduring facade, interiors have evolved, adding new chapters to a residence whose connection to the city remains profound.

Central Park lies just beyond the door. The American Museum of Natural History and the restaurants, cafés, and boutiques of Columbus Avenue are moments away.

A landmark in plain sight. A private world waiting to be discovered.
