17 West 54 Street   Unit 5C

This special one bedroom apartment faces South over the MOMA gardens with views of the Sculpture Garden as well as treetops. The original details are in place yet it has been updated with through wall Air-conditioning, new windows, and other modern conveniences. The windowed kitchen has some of the original cabinetry and the bath is in perfect condition with the oversized tub, the pedestal sink along with the medicine cabinet and mirrors created in 1936. The living room (currently used as a home office) is stunning, with the fireplace and mantle still in place. The bedroom also faces South and has the same outlook. Sliding door closets in the dressing area and the nickel hardware complete the space. This apartment has never been on the open market before and has kept the style as it was designed by Wallace K. Harrison for Nelson Rockefeller. It was fully rented before completion according to the building's history. In the early 1950's it was converted to cooperative ownership and is now a Landmark. Long considered home for the cognoscenti, the Rockefeller Apartments have maintained the elegance and grace that Nelson Rockefeller wanted when he built them. Now there is an opportunity to purchase one as it was built.
