Property Details
Description
Located in a building with exceptional provenance, this serene and delightful apartment is the perfect one bedroom in the heart of midtown. Many original details remain, adding character and charm, while other details have been updated to provide for the modern life. Upon entering, to the left is the elongated foyer with generous walls for hanging art. The apartment features the meticulously preserved original hardwood herringbone floors. The foyer opens up to the living room, which has plentiful built-in bookshelves and a decorative fireplace. The windowed living room faces south, receiving warm light and looking out to the Museum of Modern Art and its sculpture garden. Continuing to the front of the apartment, slightly curved windows create a dining area, and exhibit the building's famous International Style architecture. The kitchen is tucked away to the right of the dining room, featuring a Bertazoni oven and stove and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The galley kitchen reconnects with the foyer for a circular flow between the rooms. At the end of the foyer is a stairwell that leads to a downstairs wine storage area. Much care had been taken to restore the original curved wood hand railing. To the left of the foyer is the bathroom and bedroom. The bathroom has been renovated with a timeless pedestal sink and original black and white tiled floors. The spacious bedroom faces north overlooking the building's garden courtyard. The Rockefeller Apartments were completed in 1936 and received landmark status in 1984. Commissioned by Nelson A. Rockefeller and designed by Wallace K. Harrison (who also designed the United Nations and Metropolitan Opera house), the apartments were created as pied-a-terres for business professionals working at Rockefeller Center. Close to all midtown shops, restaurants and museums, this full service co-op allows pied-a-terres and 50 % financing. Flip tax paid by the seller. Pets allowed.
