17 W 54TH Street #8A

Overlooking the serene garden of the famed Rockefeller Apartments, this home features a beautiful, spacious living room with fine herringbone floors, a stunning original decorative mantel and floor-to-ceiling windows with wonderful northern light. The current owners envisioned the comforts of a library and added elegant bookcases to both the living room and the windowed dining area. An updated windowed kitchen has been remodeled in keeping with the home's modernist design. The original bath with its black and white tile and chrome touches has been preserved in excellent condition. The generously proportioned primary bedroom has two large California-style closets. In fact, this home boasts a total of seven closets! The Rockefeller Apartments, a coveted two-building pre-war gem commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller, has Landmark status for its International Modernist design. Located on one of Manhattan's most beautiful streets, West 54th St, the building is across the street from the Museum of Modern Art, where one can enjoy the world's most extensive art collection, and very close to Fifth Avenue shopping and Midtown's finest dining. The nature of Central Park and the performances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Broadway are also within walking distance. With this home you have both the excitement of being in the middle of all that New York City has to offer and the serenity of a pin drop quiet and welcoming home.
