17 West 54 Street   Unit PHB

This is the first time this apartment has been on the market in over 30 years; presenting a rare opportunity to own a distinctive Penthouse located in the historic 1936 Rockefeller Apartments. The bands of oversized steel casement windows and doors (extending from floor to ceiling), 10' high ceilings, herringbone wood floors, clean lines and many other exquisite Art Deco details add to the ambience of this extraordinary home and make it a dream find. On the first level, an entry foyer leads to a grand corner living room with wood-burning fireplace and oversized casement windows and French doors leading to a private wrap terrace, renovated bath with large porthole window, and windowed kitchen with washer/dryer, and a bedroom currently used as a library with custom built-in book shelves. As you ascend the charming staircase to the second level, you enter the Master Bedroom with separate dressing area, walk-in closet, renovated windowed bath, and oversized casement windows and French doors lead to another private planting terrace. Topping it off, incomparable views south over the MOMA Sculpture Garden and sweeping city views of the landmark buildings in midtown with extraordinary sunlight throughout the day and sparkling night time vistas. Situated in a vibrant & highly desirable neighborhood, this is an ideal home or Pied-e-Terre.
