Perfectly positioned in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, this exceptional and oversized, approximately 975 square feet, one-bedroom, one-bath residence at the Rockefeller Apartments offers a rare blend of timeless design, tranquility, and iconic surroundings. Situated in a full-service, landmarked building, the apartment enjoys a coveted southern exposure, filling the home with natural light and offering iconic city views overlooking the serene sculpture garden of the Museum of Modern Art.

A striking bay window serves as the centerpiece of the formal expanse, enhancing both stunning light and architectural character. The interiors reflect a thoughtful, high-design renovation by renowned architectural firm, Mojo Stumer, completed by the same owner nearly 40 years ago-resulting in a distinctive "modern retro" aesthetic that feels both timeless and perfectly suited to its MoMA-adjacent setting. Custom details abound, including beautifully crafted built-ins, pocket doors, and cleverly concealed storage throughout.

Beautiful herringbone hardwood floors run seamlessly through the home, complemented by a decorative fireplace and an abundance of storage rarely found in a one-bedroom home, much of which is cleverly concealed within the design. The windowed kitchen is well-appointed with generous cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry, recently refurbished dishwasher, built-in microwave, and a recently refurbished Sub-Zero refrigerator, along with thoughtful upgrades such as an instant hot water fixture and new sink faucet.

The bedroom suite offers exceptional privacy, tucked away down a hallway that doubles as a dressing area, lined with three oversized closets. The bathroom features a deep soaking tub. Additional conveniences include through-wall air conditioning and heating (units replaced in 2020 and are energy compliant), as well as new windows installed for enhanced comfort and quiet.

An oasis in the center of the city, this home is remarkably peaceful and perfectly suited as either a primary residence or an elegant pied-à-terre, offering refined living in one of Manhattan's most iconic neighborhoods. 17 West 54th Street, also known as the Rockefeller Apartments, is a premiere full-service prewar co-op with white-glove staff designed in 1936 by Wallace K. Harrison and commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller. This landmarked building is celebrated for its international style architecture, Bauhaus details, and timeless Art Deco appeal. Amenities include 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent, resident storage, laundry room, and a serene private courtyard garden, adorned with a reflective pond and seating areas. Pets and pieds-a-terre permitted.

Exciting building improvements are on the horizon, with a major capital improvement plan underway to modernize the building's infrastructure, public spaces and amenities. Improvements will include a renovated and air-conditioned lobby, the addition of a new gym, upgraded laundry facilities, and-particularly appealing for today's buyers-the ability to install a washer/dryer in the apartment with Board approval. Additional infrastructure and exterior improvements are also planned. The apartment's share of the assessment is $40,480 over 24 months, which the sellers will pay in full at closing, offering the new owner the benefit of these improvements without the cost of the assessment.
