A Prewar Masterpiece in the Sky at Kensington House
One of Chelsea’s most stunning and unique residences, this exquisite one-bedroom, two-bath home sits atop the iconic Kensington House, a celebrated Art Deco landmark designed by Emery Roth. Formerly two apartments, this seamless combination creates a rare, grand layout infused with timeless sophistication and modern luxury.
From every oversized window, take in sweeping skyline vistas—including a dramatic, picture-perfect view of the Empire State Building. Inside, no detail has been overlooked. The windowed Poggenpohl kitchen features polished stone countertops, a professional Thermador range, and a glass-paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, all opening gracefully into a sunken living and dining area ideal for entertaining in style.
Both full bathrooms are beautifully appointed with tumbled marble, Duravit fixtures, and generous storage. The primary suite includes a dressing area with built-ins and a windowed en-suite bath, while a separate windowed home office provides a peaceful retreat for work or creative pursuits.
Throughout the home, discover exquisite craftsmanship—rosewood inlaid hardwood floors, beamed ceilings and an impressive cedar closet among the many custom features that elevate this residence.
The Kensington House offers the elegance and amenities of a classic prewar building, including a 24-hour doorman, a beautifully landscaped roof deck, central laundry, and original Art Deco architectural details that set it apart.
Experience the magic of New York from this extraordinary home where prewar beauty meets contemporary refinement—an unmatched offering in one of Chelsea’s most distinguished addresses.
