Carter’s Review

"This boxy, but attractive, 15-story Art Deco building at 200 West 20th and Seventh Avenue has a prime location in the heart of the Chelsea District.

Built in 1938 and designed by Emery Roth, the building, known as Kensington House, was converted to a cooperative in 1987 and has 196 apartments. Amenities and staff include 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, package room, and roof deck with Empire State Building views. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, transportation, and Chelsea's best galleries, restaurants, and nightlife are a short walk away."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "gracious" Art Deco gem, designed by celebrated architect Emery Roth, offers "classic pre-war charm" with "modern conveniences". The "meticulously maintained" building boasts a "full-service" staff including 24-hour doorman and live-in super, while the "coveted" roof deck provides a perfect urban escape. "Incredibly convenient" to multiple subway lines including 1,2,3,A,C,E,L,B,D and crosstown buses, this "pet-friendly" residence delivers "quintessential Manhattan living" with pre-war sophistication.
