‘The Kenilworth is a white glove, full service cooperative with attended elevator and Resident Manager, built in 1908 in the French Second Empire style,’ according to the Sotheby’s International Realty listing agent. 

The 15-room apartment was turned into nine bigger spaces and occupies the entire front of the historic building, and wrapping around both north and south corners.
