Showings begin August 1, 2010.Highly desirable views like these are few and far between. Perched at precisely the right level above the lush landscape of Central Park, this apartment enjoys approximately 40' of unrivalled vistas from both its northern and eastern vantage points, and there is light all day from the western exposures.There are two decorative fireplaces, beautiful original parquet floors with inlaid mahogany borders, and a large eat-in kitchen. Within the apartment, the signature high ceilings, large windows, and touches of leaded glass ensure a return to another era; the French Second Empire styling of the façade has been preserved, even down to the surrounding moat with wrought iron railings.Slightly different from the original plan of eight rooms, the apartment is currently configured as two bedrooms and a library. Owned, loved, and lived in by the same shareholder for almost half a century, it is in need of total renovation, as reflected by the price. Please invite your architect to join you when you come to visit. The Kenilworth was built 1906-1908 and designed by the well-known architectural firm of Townsend, Steinle and Haskell .
