This spacious one bedroom home overlooks the serene garden of the Rockefeller Apartments and offers an excellent value in this historic two-building complex. You enter via a large foyer to the 20' long living room that features a beautiful expanse of herringbone floors, an original decorative fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows with treetop views. There is an adjacent windowed dining alcove and a windowed kitchen, updated with granite countertops, Bosch appliances and a Sub-Zero refrigerator as well as a redesigned pantry with closet. The bathroom is renovated in a manner consistent with the building's renowned modernist style including Villeroy and Boch tiles, a stone floor and a Toto toilet. The oversized bedroom has been made larger by incorporating the original dressing room and offers a more generous closet area (there are actually 6 closets in the apartment!) Additional assets of this lovely home include recessed ceiling lighting, a built-in sound system and the installation of the PTAC air conditioning/heating units, which the building will soon require as new windows are installed (at no additional expense to the owner). Move-in ready - either for full-time or pied-a-terre residency - this home is a pin drop quiet respite from the busy city but close to all Manhattan has to offer - the Museum of Modern Art, Carnegie Hall, Broadway theaters, Lincoln Center as well as Central Park and Fifth Avenue shopping and fine dining. The landmarked Rockefeller Apartments, commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller and designed by Wallace K. Harrison, was completed in 1936. The Rockefeller Apartments' enduring qualities have long been recognized; in 2007 the New York Times stated, in reference to the buildings, "for certain New York design lovers, there is only one place to live."
