KAY WILLIAM NOBLE

Yon adrès ki chaje ak istwa. Yon mond prive bò Central Park.

Gen kay ki revele tout sa yo ye depi premye gade. Gen lòt ki envite w dekouvri yo.

Dèyè fasad Queen Anne li a, ki konsève yon fason remakab, 247 Central Park West kache yon mond kèk moun ta imajine depi lari a: sis nivo espas ekstraòdinè, teras apa, yon gwo koupòl santral ki fè limyè antre, ak yon pisin andedan kay la ki prèske 60 pye longè pou fè longè ladan l—tout sa ak yon bèl vi dirèk sou Central Park.

Se youn nan dènye kay an ranje ki rete pou yon sèl fanmi sou avni istorik sa a. Kay William Noble la gen plis pase 12,270 pye kare espas epi li mezire plis pase 22 pye lajè. Dimansyon li yo ra anpil. Prezans li pa ka konfonn.

Lè w fin pase antre a, yon gwo vestibül ouvè sou yon salon prensipal ki laj anpil. Plafon byen wo ak pwopòsyon remakab yo kreye yon espas ki pafè ni pou sware entim ni pou gwo resepsyon memorab. Anlè, koupòl santral la fè limyè lajounen antre byen fon nan kay la, epi li revele pèspektiv siprizan pandan w ap deplase ladan l.

Jis anba a, gwo espas pou manje ak kwizin nan mennen sou yon teras trankil—yon moman repo prive nan mitan ritm Manhattan. Pi lwen anndan kay la, pisin andedan kay la ak yon espas espesyal pou fè egzèsis ofri w yon refij ki pou ou sèlman.

Yon asansè prive konekte tout nivo yo. Chanm prensipal la nan dezyèm etaj la, ak yon gwo chanm abiye, yon twalèt prive, epi aksè sou yon lòt teras apa. Pi wo, yon sal medya sou plizyè nivo ak yon gwo chanm envite mennen sou de lòt chanm, yo chak ak pwòp twalèt pa yo. Nan tèt kay la, yon chanm byen klere gen yon bèl vi ouvè sou vil la.

Dènye dekouvèt la deyò: yon teras sou do kay la ki neglije gwo espas natirèl Central Park la.

Istwa kay la te kòmanse an 1887, lè pwomotè William Noble te bay achitèk Edward Angell komisyon pou konsevwa yon ranje nèf kay an vil ki gen distenksyon. Noble te chwazi kay sa a pou tèt li. Li te fini an 1889, epi jodi a se youn nan sèlman twa kay ki rete nan gwoup orijinal la.

Pandan ane yo, atis renome, gwo pèsonalite politik ak fanmi enpòtan te fè pati istwa kay la. Dèyè fasad ki toujou kanpe djanm nan, enteryè yo te evolye, ajoute nouvo chapit nan lavi yon kay ki rete pwofondman mare ak vil la.

Central Park jis lòt bò pòt la. Mize Istwa Natirèl Ameriken an ak restoran, kafe ak boutik Columbus Avenue yo toupre anpil.

Yon moniman istorik tout moun ka wè. Yon mond prive k ap tann pou yo dekouvri l.

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.
