Description
Iconic Elegance at the Kenilworth
Apartment 11 North at 151 Central Park West, located on the north corner of West 75th Street, is a meticulously restored and renovated jewel box that seamlessly combines every modern comfort of today with the storied past of its construction year, 1907. This gorgeous home, the highest complete North line to come to the market in decades, is a treasure that cannot be replicated today. Built in the French Second Empire style, it stands as one of the finest examples of this treasured genre in residential architecture in the United States, reminiscent of the reign of Napoleon III.
Upon arrival, you are greeted with a stunning view of the Park that immediately captivates you.
The dramatic foyer leads to a 15-foot gallery and a truly grand 25 foot-wide living room with soaring ceilings adorned with painstakingly restored century-old crown molding. Bespoke wood-framed windows offer picturesque views of the duck pond, Central Park, and the City beyond, all from the perfect floor height that is both high and intimate at once.
Original and restored pocket doors lead to the 20-foot-long formal dining room overlooking the Park, a rare feature for a Park-facing home. Together, they create 39 feet of frontage for an exhilarating experience.
The dining room’s oak paneling, washed in creamy white, is intact and glorious, with its hearth featuring the coat of arms of England’s Castle Kenilworth circa 1100, serving as the inspiration behind this landmark’s imprimatur.
The corner primary suite is a statement of serene luxury, offering one of the most unique perspectives on Central Park West-eastward over the Park and North over the Tower of the Universalist Church built in 1897-a perspective shared by only three homes. The suite boasts custom-built closets and a gorgeously renovated windowed bathroom, timelessly and classically appointed in cream marble.
The bedroom wing comprises two additional generous bedrooms with cinematic open city views and two fully renovated bathrooms. The second bedroom currently serves as a handsome lacquered library, a perfect room for a comfortable evening retreat.
Returning to the foyer, the kitchen wing features a newly installed wet bar and butler’s pantry, along with a beautifully renovated eat-in kitchen showcasing custom-built white cabinets, stone counters, and Viking and Sub-Zero appliances.
A walk-in pantry conveniently stores all essentials, while the adjacent laundry room provides storage for household necessities.
Noteworthy features of this distinguished and sumptuous home include a top-of-the-line central air conditioning system, new plumbing, electricity, insulation, and historically correct fenestration. The finest quality artisan restored century-old authentic details, such as hand-inlaid flooring, plaster, and millwork, further enhance this truly rare and spectacular offering.
The Kenilworth, located at 151 Central Park West and built in 1908 by architects Townsend, Steinle, and Haskell, offers a full-time doorman, elevator operator, resident manager, and amenities including private storage, central laundry, and a resident roof terrace. 151 Central Park West allows for 50% financing and is pet-friendly
