The light-filled, three-bedroom co-op at 15 Central Park West includes a gallery space, a library and stunning views.
The Lurie co-op’s contemporary interior contrasts elegantly with the building’s old-world architecture.Lurie’s home was a testament to the cosmopolitan, art-filled world he both drew and inhabited. “The apartment was my father’s pride and joy, and my parents lived in it fully,” says Compass agent Danielle Lurie, who is also Ranan’s daughter.
The cartoonist was as hands-on with this apartment as he was with his artistic endeavors. The unit is the only one on the building’s “D-line” to feature Central Park views, and Ranan kept the focus squarely on the greenery. This required shifting the home’s original layout to turn part of the home’s east side into a sunny studio. “He transformed what was a hallway into a gallery space, creating a canvas for art and light,” Danielle explains.
“She kept two paintings my father did of my mother, for example, along with an artifact signed by Napoleon—a tribute to two of my father’s passions: his love of history and his love of my mother,” Danielle says. The co-op receives park views from both its expansive northern exposure as well as from east. The sights also extend to the west, where you can see the Hudson River from the primary bedroom, which includes a marble en suite bathroom with a soaking tub, a shower and a walk-in closet.
“My father found Central Park to be an incredible art piece and wanted to have it framed by as many windows as possible within his home,” Danielle says. In total, there are three bedrooms—each with their own bath and range of enviable scenery. Having hosted creative and political luminaries as well being the sight where Ranan created some of his most memorable drawings, the home stands as a testament to a life very, very well-lived.
