THE WILLIAM NOBLE HOUSE A Home with History — and a Future to Call Your Own A Legacy Home for the Next Generation As one of the few remaining single-family homes on Central Park West, this rare offering is steeped in history — but its future is wide open. For the right family, it’s a blank canvas ready for personal touches, bedtime stories, first steps, and new traditions. This is where heritage meets heart. And where your family’s next chapter can begin. With sweeping, unobstructed views of Central Park and over 10,700 square feet of beautifully crafted living space, this grand 22+ foot wide, six-story townhouse is so much more than just an architectural masterpiece — it’s a family home, waiting to be filled with life, laughter, and new memories. Lovingly restored to preserve its original Queen Anne-style charm, the home is also thoughtfully updated for modern family living. From an oversized chef’s kitchen perfect for Sunday pancakes to a sun-drenched solarium that brings warmth and light into every floor, every corner of this house has the potential to be transformed by the people who live within it. Picture movie nights in the multi-level home theatre, summer days by the 60-foot indoor pool, elevator rides with sleepy little ones, and joyful gatherings that spill out into the heart of the home. Here, luxury isn’t just about finishes — it’s about the space to grow, celebrate, and truly belong. Built in 1887 as part of a prestigious row of townhomes along Central Park West, No. 247 was chosen by visionary developer William Noble as his personal residence — a place where he hosted family milestones and elegant celebrations, including his niece’s wedding. More than a century later, the home still carries that legacy of love and connection.
