The Kenilworth Co-op

The Kenilworth Co-op is a landmark 13-story prewar cooperative on Central Park West, completed in 1907 and executed in the French Second Empire style by Townsend, Steinle & Haskell. The building contains large three-bedroom residences (many originally configured as seven- to eight-room homes) with grand proportions, soaring ceilings and oversized windows that frame expansive Central Park and city vistas. Interiors frequently preserve or restore fine period detail — original millwork, inlaid and quarter-sawn oak floors, marble mantels, crown moldings, paneled dining rooms, pocket doors and intricately sculpted plasterwork — along with modernized kitchens and systems in many apartments. Common areas include a recently restored ornate lobby, a shareholder roof terrace/garden with park views, and intimate corridors reflecting the building’s original character. The co-op maintains attentive staffed service (doorman/elevator operator and resident manager), private storage provisions and centralized laundry; washer/dryers are often permitted within units. The building allows pets and permits up to 50% financing, with only three apartments per floor offering privacy and quiet. Located at 75th Street on the Gold Coast of the Upper West Side, the Kenilworth combines celebrated architectural pedigree, generous entertaining layouts and direct access to Central Park and neighborhood cultural and transportation amenities.
