From the moment you enter this lovely apartment, you will know you are in a very special residence, overlooking the serene gardens of the Rockefeller Apartments and providing a pin-drop quiet respite from the busy city outside. The spacious living room has beautiful hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows with shining southern light and plantation shutters. The current owner improved on the original design by creating a stunning pass-through kitchen consistent with the modernist design. The kitchen, which adjoins a spacious dining alcove, features imported glass light fixtures, custom cabinetry and top of the line stainless steel appliances -- Sub-Zero refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and GE Profile stove -- as well as a pantry with two storage closets. The original bath with its black and white tile and chrome touches has been updated with a new pedestal sink and a Toto toilet. The generously proportioned master bedroom has a spacious dressing room featuring a double closet with frosted glass doors - in all the apartment has seven closets! The Rockefeller Apartments, a coveted two-building pre-war gem commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller, has Landmark status for its International Modernist design and houses the popular restaurant Michael's. The complex is across the street from the Museum of Modern Art, where one can enjoy the world's most extensive art collection as well as near Fifth Avenue shopping and Midtown's finest dining. The nature of Central Park and the performances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Broadway are also within walking distance. With this home you have both the excitement of being in the middle of all that New York City has to offer and the comfort of a beautiful and welcoming home to return to.
