The Kenmare at 327 Central Park West is a distinguished Neo-Renaissance building designed by architect Nathan Korn in 1928 and converted to condominiums in 2001. The 16 story structure houses 87 units and features elegant architectural details including a two story rusticated limestone base, narrow bandcourses above multiple floors, and a canopied entrance on the side street. The building maintains an intimate atmosphere with only three apartments per floor served by four elevators across two banks, creating a boutique feel despite its size.
Apartments range from one to three bedrooms, with many units boasting spectacular Central Park views and up to 30 feet of park frontage. The residences are characterized by high 10 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and spacious layouts with generous entry foyers. Some units have undergone extensive renovations featuring high end appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, Gaggenau, Liebherr, and Miele, while preserving pre-war charm through details like beamed ceilings, basket weave parquet floors, and arched doorways. Corner units are particularly sought after, offering multiple exposures and sweeping reservoir views.
The full service building provides comprehensive amenities including a 24 hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, bike room, private storage, and central laundry facilities. The pet friendly building allows for modern conveniences like in-unit washer/dryers and, in some cases, wet-over-dry construction for additional bathrooms. The prime location directly across from Central Park offers immediate access to the 93rd Street playground and tennis courts, while the surrounding neighborhood provides excellent shopping at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.
