Rockefeller Apartments 17 W 54th St Unit 4B New York, NY 10019

MOMA GARDEN VIEWS!! The first time in 11 years a 2bdroom/2bath apartment facing South over the Moma garden has become available. The past owners have kept it in original condition with most deco details in place. There is an entry foyer creating a feeling of elegance. The South facing living room over the gardens allows the sun flooded room to lead you to the circular dining area and the view of the garden which is truly captivating. The windowed kitchen is well preserved except for the appliances which have been updated. In addition, the decorative fireplace has been kept as it was designed in 1936. The bedrooms face North over the building's beautiful planted garden with seating and a pond. This connects the other side of the building and is a lovely way to go to 55th Street. The primary bedroom has an ensuite windowed bath which is totally original from the black and white tile floor to the fixtures. The second bedroom has the same view and a bathroom outside which works well for guests. This bath is also as designed by Wallace K. Harrison.



Lewis Mumford, the New Yorker's famously grumpy critic was ecstatic about this simple and ingratiating building, free of

superficial stylistic stereotype. He wrote that the Rockefeller Apartments have been home to many people in the arts such as the Schuberts, Gertrude Lawrence, Leland Hayward, Quentin Reynolds and Alfred A. Knopf.



The building allows 75% financing, pets, pied a terres and has storage units as they become available.
