Take a stroll back in time to the Grandeur of Old New York at the rarely available KenilworthWe are proud to present apartment 5W in Mint Condition, clad in exquisite prewar detail, high beamed ceilings throughout, extraordinary woodwork, as well as central air conditioning, leaded glass windows and doors, and oversized windows offering partial City and oblique Central Park views, with south, east, west and north exposures, perfect for getting lost gazing onto the treelined streets of the iconic Upper West Side. The Kenilworth, built in 1908, with all of the early twentieth century charm youd hope for, overlooks Central Park, in the middle of a historic Gold Coast on Central Park West that includes the Dakota and the Museum of Natural History. From the moment you walk into the extraordinary French second-empire beaux-arts lobby and meet some of the best staff in New York, youll be enchanted.

Stunning floor-to-ceiling custom builtins with comfortable windowseats, great for curling up wit your favotite book, have been thoughtfully added to appear is if they were part of the original design.
