Description

With southern views over the private ground floor garden, Apartment #2H is the ideal one bedroom primary residence or pied-a-terre. The compact footprint features an entrance foyer, decorative fireplace, and efficient kitchen with separate pantry storage. The windowed bathroom, with distinctive black and white tile floor, reiterates the Art Deco feel throughout the public areas.

The original herring bone oak floors have been beautifully maintained, however, both the
windows and the HVAC units are new.

The Rockefeller Apartments are no ordinary residential building; but one that is extremely rich in history and considered one of the most prestigious pre-war buildings in NYC. This iconic apartment complex was constructed in the mid-1930s and designated a city landmark in 1984 by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Located in midtown, just steps from Fifth Avenue; this iconic cooperative complex is convenient to Central Park, the Museum of Modern Art, Carnegie Hall, and the Theater District. The building amenities include a full-time doorman, porter staff, resident manager, laundry room and storage.
