A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Kenmare would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Kenmare is a prewar condominium on Central Park West — and that combination is genuinely uncommon. Central Park West is one of Manhattan's great prewar cooperative addresses; the overwhelming majority of its landmark buildings are co-ops. The Kenmare, a 1929 Neo-Renaissance building by Nathan Korn converted to condominium ownership in 2001, offers the Central Park West address and prewar architecture in a condominium wrapper — with the financing flexibility, pied-à-terre eligibility, and faster closings that the corridor's cooperatives do not provide.
The building sits within the Upper West Side / Central Park West Historic District, giving it exterior protection and a stable architectural context, and its position between 92nd and 93rd Streets places it directly on the park. For a buyer who wants a prewar home on Central Park West but values — or requires — the flexibility of condominium ownership, The Kenmare occupies a narrow and desirable niche.
Architecture and unit composition
Nathan Korn's 1929 commission is a sixteen-story Neo-Renaissance prewar. The design carries the corridor's signature prewar grammar: a two-story rusticated limestone base, narrow bandcourses articulating the upper floors, and a canopied side-street entrance. The building's park-facing frontage gives its eastern apartments direct Central Park exposure.
The roughly 85 residences reflect prewar planning — grand-scale layouts, high ceilings, and large window banks framing park or city views. The unit mix runs from one-bedroom homes to expansive four-bedroom configurations. Condition varies line by line with renovation history; park-facing lines command the building's strongest views.
Building operations
The Kenmare operates as a full-service condominium with a full-time doorman and a live-in superintendent. Amenities include a fitness center, a central laundry room, a bike room, a package room, and cold storage. The building is pet-friendly, and financing and subletting are permitted under the condominium — a flexibility profile the corridor's cooperatives rarely match.
Common charges and property taxes are consistent with a full-service prewar Central Park West condominium. Buyers should model the full monthly carry at the apartment level and review current financial statements, board minutes, and any reserve study during due diligence.

Recent sales
The Kenmare trades on two features that rarely coincide on Central Park West: prewar architecture and condominium ownership. Pricing is best read on a price-per-square-foot basis, with park exposure the dominant value driver — direct Central Park views command a clear premium over city-facing lines — followed by floor height, ceiling height, layout, and renovation condition. The condominium structure itself is a pricing input against the corridor's cooperative inventory. Apartment-level closing detail should be sourced from public records for full transactional context, and pricing should be validated against the most recent comparable sales at the time of offer.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,550/sf (floor-adjusted) across 2 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 3.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Prewar plus condominium on Central Park West is rare. The tenure is the differentiator; the address and architecture are the anchor.
Park exposure drives price. Direct Central Park views are the building's premium feature. Confirm the specific line's exposure and floor.
Condominium flexibility applies. Financing, pied-à-terre use, and subletting are governed by the condominium rather than a cooperative board; closings run on condominium timelines.
Historic District protection is a stability feature. The Upper West Side / Central Park West Historic District designation protects the building's exterior and context.
Model the full carry at the apartment level and verify board policy at offer stage.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the rare tenure. A prewar condominium on Central Park West reaches a buyer pool — investors, pied-à-terre purchasers, financing-dependent buyers — that the corridor's cooperatives cannot.
Position the park exposure. Direct park views are the building's headline asset where the apartment carries them.
Pricing requires apartment-level context. Comparable sales vary sharply by exposure, floor, and condition.
Closing timelines are condo-fast. 30 to 60 days from contract to closing.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
