Property Description
8B at 17 West 54th Street is the perfect embodiment of the iconic Rockefeller Apartments. This two-building enclave (comprised of 17 West 54th and 24 West 55th) was developed under the "International Style" in 1936 by Nelson Rockefeller with the architect Wallace K. Harrison.
The meticulously renovated 2 Bed/2 Bath apartment is an entertainer's delight designed by Australia's acclaimed architect, Iain Halliday. The great room faces South overlooking the MOMA garden. Sleek, sliding glass doors by Boffi create a striking architectural feature in this space. When opened, the doors reveal a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring a coffee station along with Miele, Sub-Zero, and Fisher & Paykel appliances. Adding to the International Style sensibilities of the apartment, the John Royère 'Ours Polaire' sofa and chairs (c 1930s) and Eames dining set can be discussed with the owner.
The two bedrooms face North over the buildings garden and can be opened to each other via oversized pocket doors, creating a generously sized suite, or left closed keeping as two separate rooms. Two bathrooms, ample closet space, and central air-conditioning round out this thoughtfully done triple-mint apartment.
Apartment 8B offers a wonderful, move-in ready opportunity for the discerning buyer who wishes to own a piece of New York City's architectural heritage.
