Kensington House at 200 West 20th St. #1508

With open city views to the Empire State Building, Times Square and the East River, this corner apartment on the top floor of Kensington House is Art Deco perfection in the sky. From the sensibly proportioned entrance foyer, the rest of the apartment flows gracefully and is flooded with light from windows in every room. The sunken living room with its 11’ beamed ceilings and custom mahogany built-ins can function wonderfully as a space for either cordial entertaining or comfortable daily living. The designer kitchen is beautifully appointed with solid maple cabinetry by Atelier of Prague, silas stone countertops/backsplash and a ceramic tile floor, all done in a smartly coordinated palette. All stainless steel, the appliances include a Northland Designer Series refrigerator, Summit Professional range, GE Profile microwave, Miele dishwasher and are complemented by the Franke Triflow faucet with deep professional style sink. The renovation of this apartment is further enhanced by mindful details such as custom draperies and closet fixtures. Kensington House, designed by renowned architect Emery Roth and constructed in 1937, is the architectural epitome of pre-war elegance. Amenities include a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, recently updated lobby and laundry room as well as a common roof deck with panoramic city views.
