Kensington One-Bedroom Asks $2,500 a Month
Briefly

This unit opens into a long hallway leading to a foyer with two closets. The space is open to the living room and there are arched openings to the kitchen and to the bedroom hallway. The rectangular living room is generously sized with an in-wall air conditioner below the windows. In the windowed kitchen are wood cabinets, a tile floor, and stainless steel appliances, but no dishwasher. Large enough to fit a king-sized bed, the bedroom also has two exposures, wood floors, two closets, and another air conditioning unit. The white fixtures in the updated bathroom are paired with green floor tile and gray wall tile with a green accent tile. Closets in the apartment total six.
The 1961 certificate of occupancy shows the building, one of three of that era on the block, had 84 apartments for rent when it was completed plus one unit for the live-in super. A 1963 ad for 'choice' apartments promised new air-conditioned units, with three-room apartments renting for $117.50 a month.
