200 W 20Th St

Kensington House is a 15-story prewar co-op completed in 1939 and designed by Emery Roth in an Art Deco idiom. The mid‑rise massing presents a classically detailed lobby and original period touches inside many apartments, including beamed or cathedral‑style ceilings, crown moldings, chandeliers and hardwood floors with inlaid mahogany borders. Residences are primarily studios and one‑bedroom plans with sunken living rooms, dressing alcoves, walk‑in closets, windowed kitchens and occasional Murphy beds or movable walls to maximize flexibility. Shared amenities emphasize urban convenience and community: a 24‑hour attended lobby with live‑in superintendent, landscaped roof deck with city views, common laundry facilities, bike room, and rentable storage/lockers in the basement. The building operates as a full‑service co‑op with an established board policy allowing pied‑a‑terres, parental gifting and pets (with approval) and flexible subletting after one year; guarantors and co‑purchasing are generally not permitted. Located in the heart of Chelsea at West 20th Street, the property sits within easy walking distance of multiple subway lines, grocery options, galleries, restaurants, the High Line and Chelsea Piers, supporting a walkable, culturally active Manhattan lifestyle.
