Rockefeller Apartments, 17 West 54th Street, #10A

Step into the elegance of Apartment 10A, a beautifully renovated one-bedroom residence located within the distinguished Rockefeller Apartments. Built in 1936, these buildings have been meticulously restored, preserving the authentic details of their Bauhaus heritage while adapting to modern-day living. A comprehensive three-year renovation project included an extensive façade and window restoration to maintain their classic glamour and refined aesthetic.

The building is centrally located on a charming block, flanked by historic limestone mansions and the MOMA sculpture garden. This oversized 1BR home has been thoughtfully renovated, harmoniously blending contemporary design with the authentic details of its Bauhaus past. As you enter through the artfully finished original metal front door, you are greeted by a spacious foyer illuminated by elegant Italian recessed lighting. The generous living room boasts abundant natural light, courtesy of one of the apartment’s nine brand-new windows.

An antique polished iron fireplace mantel, complemented by beautiful artistic tiles surrounding a ventless hearth cabinet fireplace, adds character to the space. Enjoy stunning northwest views of the city skyline and a bird’s-eye view of the chic, newly renovated garden courtyard. The versatile dining area benefits from western light and offers city views through a casement window. The sleek, modern kitchen has been completely transformed, featuring Ann Sacks porcelain flooring, a premium German Leicht cabinet system with a utility rack, pantry pull-out, and tall cabinet storage.

Additional highlights include a Julien sink and faucet, and Dekton backsplash and countertops. Top-of-the-line European appliances include a Liebherr refrigerator/freezer, Bosch gas cooktop and dishwasher, and double Gaggenau ovens with a microwave/convection speed oven. Cleverly designed, the kitchen also includes a sizable pantry for ample storage. The spacious bedroom suite features a custom designed, floor-to-ceiling dressing room and stylish Louis Poulsen pendant lighting.

In the bathroom, a restored Bauhaus mirror and medicine cabinet harmonize with a new Toto toilet, an oversized modern sink with chrome legs, and classic black-and-white tiling. The apartment also features restored original herringbone floors, a complete electrical upgrade, new PTAC systems, and refinished radiators, along with designer lighting and generous closet space. The Rockefeller Apartments, developed by Nelson Rockefeller in 1936 with architects Wallace K. Harrison and J. Andre Fouilhoux, are a unique treasure in New York City. These landmarked towers, designed in the International Style, showcase tawny brick, distinctive curved windows, and elegant Bauhaus details.

An intimate private garden with a reflecting pool and gravel seating area enhances the ambiance, reminiscent of the nearby MOMA. Belmont Freeman Architects have beautifully restored the hallways and lobbies to their original splendor. Shareholders enjoy 24-hour doorman service, porter staff, a live-in resident manager, a laundry room, a courtyard garden, and private storage (subject to availability). The building permits 75% financing and welcomes foreign buyers, pied-à-terre purchases, and pets with a Board approval.
