Designed in 1937 by the revered Emery Roth, Kensington House is a stunning art deco building dubbed the “House of Welded Steel” by the New York Times for its notable and innovative lack of rivets. Today, residents of the financially sound cooperative enjoy 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, laundry, storage, a bike room, and a beautifully landscaped and furnished roof deck with panoramic views. The well-maintained building allows pets, subletting, pieds-à-terre and gifting with board approval. Sorry, no guarantors, co-purchasing or parents buying for children. Perfectly situated on tree-lined 20th Street and Seventh Avenue, this gorgeous home is in the heart of Chelsea with immediate access to the West Chelsea Arts District, the Flatiron District, Union Square, NoMad and the Village. Abundant dining, nightlife and entertainment venues await at every turn, and aspiring chefs will love the proximity to Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Fairway and Eataly. The High Line and Hudson River Park deliver iconic outdoor space just a few blocks west.
