Description
This sun-filled south-garden-facing one bedroom features stunning near floor-to-ceiling steel casement windows and an original fireplace. With an ideal floor plan the living, dining and kitchen are all adjoining, with delicate delineation of the spaces. Off the windowed kitchen is a spacious Costco-friendly pantry. The over 20-foot master bedroom offers brilliant southern light and a six-and-a-half-foot walk-in closet. The bath with its ideal vestibule entry includes vintage porcelain fixtures and tiles. With modern additions including new HVAC units with custom enclosures, many of the original historic details that define this important International Modernist landmarked building have been preserved. These include flush built-in bookshelves, a burnished steel entry door, graceful oak herringbone floors, a 1936 mantle, and Bauhaus fixtures. The site of 24 West 55th Street was John D.Rockefeller?s townhouse and essentially his renovation project that took on a new life and helped define an entire architectural period. This prewar building known as the Rockefeller Apartments, designed by Wallace K. Harrison, offers 24-hour doorman, central laundry, resident superintendent, and a picturesque common garden adjoining the two towers.With the Museum of Metropolitan Art as a distinguished neighbor, one can enjoy the MOMA sculpture garden like it was your own, or be the first to enjoy the many exhibits and screenings. From interior architectural features to location, this home offers a curated New York life, with the historic architecture of the Seagram Building and Lever House on 53rd Street, Central Park to the north, and Columbus Circle to the west and Rockefeller Center and Broadway shows close by. With numerous transportation options either side of your block, The Rockefeller Apartments are poised to benefit from the continued evolution of this compelling central location.
