151 CENTRAL Park W 1N

Enthralling, Fragonard-like Park tableaux cascade through the exceedingly rare, oversized windows of a parlour-floor-level home at the storied Kenilworth designed by Townsend, Steinle and Haskellin in the French Second Empire style and one of the few remaining apartment buildings on CPW constructed before 1910. One arrives in the entry foyer greeted by a convivial trio of a sunny living room with an original mirrored mantelpiece, oak-paneled formal dining room and library (or 3rd bedroom) graciously arrayed along a 40 foot span of Central Park. Two other good sized bedrooms reside in a separate wing. The large dine-in kitchen and adjacent maid's room comprise the superbly conceived service quarter. Completing a beautifully wrought picture of fin de siecle elegance are 10 foot ceilings, grand-scale proportions and a perfectly preserved vocabulary of early 20th Century dcor which evoke the poise and serenity of its 1906 date of construction at CPW's best address.
