A dream for lovers of classic American architecture and design, Apartment 7A at the landmarked 1936 Rockefeller Apartments is a rare southeast-facing one bedroom apartment with historic garden views. Matching the pristinely restored detail of these fine and desirable MOMA adjacent buildings, 7A possesses original details of its great Bauhaus pedigree with plenty of modern dash and designer cred. The useful entry foyer with a nicely sized coat closet leads into the well-proportioned living room with a decorative stone fireplace and spacious dining L, perfect for a circular table. Every room enjoys oversized newly restored, double glazed casement windows with brass hardware, thru-the-wall air conditioning and beautiful hardwood floors. The kitchen is a study in classic style with a black and white checkered floor and stainless-steel countertops. High end appliances include Miele refrigeration and dishwasher and a four-burner industrial Viking stove. The kitchen has two useful storage pantry closets. The bedroom is set away in its own wing with a sizable bespoke walk-in closet and linen closet. The white tiled bathroom features nickel hardware, a large pedestal sink, modern glass enclosure for an original cast iron sink and stylish black and white tiled floor. This apartment is a quiet and peaceful haven set overlooking a garden oasis. Washer dryers are not permitted in apartments but shareholders enjoy a well appointed laundry room. Considered one of the finest residential examples of 1930's International style residential architecture in New York, The Rockefeller Apartments at 24 West 55th Street and 17 West 54th Street are two sister buildings joined by a newly restored gracious and lush green garden paradise with a reflecting pool, gravel courtyard and midcentury-style design elements. Residents are able to enter the cooperative from either 54th or 55th Street, both of which are serviced by a full time doorman. Critically praised by architectural critics, the buildings were developed by Nelson Rockefeller in 1936 with architects Wallace K. Harrison J. and Andre Fouilhoux and are known for their distinctive features such as curved casement windows and a warm limestone color. Shareholders enjoy 24 hour doormen, porter staff, live-in superintendent, laundry room, courtyard garden and storage (as available). 75% financing is permitted. Foreign, pied-a-terre ownership and pets are okay. Fifth Avenue shopping, restaurants, The Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Broadway entertainment, and all forms of major transportation are nearby. There is a 2% flip tax.
