Rarely available, sprawling one bedroom, one and 1/2 bath cooperative apartment in the iconic Rockefeller Apartments located in the heart of mid-town Manhattan. Simply elegant, upon entry the foyer opens into an expansive living area featuring a unique cylindrically curved bay as well as casement windows that epitomize the International Architectural Style of this landmark building -- designed to prioritize illumination and air. Discretely located, the galley kitchen runs the length of the living area with an abundance of cabinets, an extra- large pantry and service entrance. The bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, leaving plenty of room for a home office area. A set of built-ins with shelves and drawers flank the bedroom's windows. Seven large closets provide for generous storage. Exquisite, original herringbone parquet flooring throughout the apartment (excepting the kitchen and baths) further enhance this property's timeless cach. Upgraded electrical and PTAC unit. Built in 1936 by Nelson Rockefeller, this critically acclaimed achievement of architects Wallace Harrison and J Andr Fouilhoux heralded the International Architectural Style that would influence New York planning and building construction for decades to come; characterized by rectilinear forms, light, air, and taut plane surfaces stripped of ornamentation and decoration; attracting those in the arts and theater for decades. The cooperative consists of two buildings; 17 West 54th Street and 24 West 55th Street joined by a charming interior garden. Substantially renovated with an eye toward historic preservation, all facades, windows, and the lobby have been completed with the garden and hallways to follow. Convenient to MOMA, Carnegie Hall, the Theater District, Central Park, world class dining and all that mid-town has to offer. Make this sophisticated residence your own. BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
