Kensington House at 200 West 20th St. #211

Must see! This is the perfectly configured studio, designed by renowned architect Emory Roth (yes, the same architect who designed The Beresford and The San Remo). It is at once inviting and comfortable with sunken living room, original wrought iron railing and inlaid oak floors, signatures of Emory. Another signature of his is the beautiful terrazzo hallway floors. Kensington House is an art deco jewel in the heart of Chelsea. Built in 1937, it has an abundance of prewar character. This building is chock-a-block full of amenities: 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, furnished roof deck, storage and bike room in basement, card operated washers and dryers. It is impeccably maintained and financially solid. In addition to all of this, it is pet friendly; pied-a-terres are allowed, gifting, and unlimited subletting after the first year. The board reviews each applicant on a case by case basis. Chelsea speaks for itself, but it is in close proximity to the High Line, Chelsea Piers, Hudson River Parkway, The Meatpacking District, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Fairway, Chelsea Market, The Whitney Museum, restaurants and shopping galore as well as a lively social scene. No co-purchasing allowed.
