Tennis anyone? Central Park opens tennis courts opening Monday!

Do you play tennis on the Upper west side? With 26 Hartru courts and several  hardcourts for lessons located mid park at 96th street, maybe you should. A full season permit only costs $200 and for seniors and minors it’s about 1/10th of that for the whole season.

247 CPW closes for $25mm

One of the few townhouses on CPW has changed hands for $25mm. The 22 foot wide Queen Anne style townhouse near the corner of West 85 street on the Upper West side, was sold at less after chopping it’s initial asking price from $32.7mm to $27.75mm.

The townhouse features over 10k sqft and a 60 ft indoor lap pool. It was purchased in 2006 from Abigail Disney, a grandniece of Walt Disney for $15mm.
