"For certain New York design lovers, there is only one place to live," The New York Times said in reference to the Rockefeller Apartments. And this spacious 1BR/1BA home has beautifully preserved all of the elements of modernist design: herringbone floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, doors flush to walls, cylindrical chrome hardware, chrome lighting fixtures and generously proportioned rooms. This residence overlooks the building's serene courtyard garden, has open skyline views and is drenched in northern and eastern light throughout the day. A renovated windowed kitchen with pantry and service entrance is adjacent to a windowed dining alcove. The primary suite boasts a dressing room and an original bath in excellent condition. A 1930's prewar gem with landmark status for its International Style Modernism, the Rockefeller Apartments is undergoing a major restoration including new windows, upgraded elevators, lobby renovation, all without an additional fee to the shareholders. This fabulous move-in ready residence - for either full-time or pied--terre use - is close to Fifth Avenue shopping and fine dining and walking distance to MOMA, Central Park, Carnegie Hall, the Theater District and Lincoln Center.
