Caroline Kennedy at Home in NYC

Caroline Kennedy has asked to become the next Senator for the state of New York. How much do we really know about her? This much is true: She is a real New Yorker. She was even born here.

Let’s take a quick look at her homes past and present. From age three until just after her sixth birthday she lived in the White House. After the assassination of her father in November 1963, she lived with her mother and brother in New York City residing in the penthouse apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue.

She currently resides in a co-op located at 888 Park Avenue with her husband Ed Schlossberg. She has maintained a very private life inside of her Manhattan home but we did learn a little bit about the building’s co-op board.

Back in 2000, 888 Park's board voted to not to allow Bradley J. Wechsler, 49, co-chairman and co–chief executive of Imax Corporation, and his wife, Patti Newberger, into the building. They had gone into contract on a $13 million apartment and they had very powerful friends plus plenty of money in the bank. One report claimed that, "They were impeccable candidates.” No justification for the rejection was made

Now that is a tough co-op board.

888 Park Avenue as described by the NY Historicial Society:

This large and very handsome apartment building was erected in 1926 and converted to a cooperative in 1953. The richly decorated, red-brick facade with rope quoins and an interesting cornice is one of the most attractive on the Avenue. The building has a two-story limestone base and a very deep and impressive lobby. As of 1992 it had 48 apartments.
It was designed by Schwartz & Gross, whose other buildings on the Park Avenue include 470, 525, 885, 910, 911, 930, 941, 970, 983, 1045, 1070, 1095, 1125 and 1165.

DO YOU WANT TO BE HER NEIGHBOR?
We found one listing in her building. This apartment is also $13 million. We would suggest that you have ten times that amount of money in the bank before scheduling a walk-though.

Here’s the listing: Corcoran
