From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

This is the one-bedroom you've been waiting for - an exceptional blend of authentic Bauhaus simplicity, generous proportions, and thoughtful contemporary updates. Perched in the coveted C line at the iconic Rockefeller Apartments, Apartment 7C is bathed in beautiful southern light, with expansive views of blue sky, the cityscape, along with a serene outlook over MoMA's renowned Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. The apartment's architectural bay windows - an elegant hallmark of this sought-after line - frame the views and fill the home with natural sunlight. A gracious 26-foot living room, high ceilings, and handsome herringbone hardwood floors throughout create an extraordinary sense of scale and elegance, while the recently installed, tightly sealed casement windows allow abundant light to pour in while keeping the city's sounds at bay. Generous closet space adds an uncommon measure of practicality. The windowed galley kitchen is bright and functional, outfitted with a Viking PRO gas range and oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Luna Pearl granite countertops and dishwasher. Designed in 1936 by renowned architect Wallace K. Harrison and commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller, the landmarked Rockefeller Apartments is a celebrated example of International Style architecture enriched by Bauhaus principles and timeless Art Deco influences. The building offers the rare opportunity to live within an important piece of New York architectural history while enjoying the conveniences of a well-established full-service cooperative. Washer/dryers are now permitted in apartments, and a new fitness center is planned. Building amenities and services include 24-hour doormen and staff, a live-in superintendent, porter service, and a pet-friendly policy. The cooperative permits up to 75% financing. A truly special residence in one of Manhattan's most distinguished architectural landmarks, Apartment 7C offers the rare combination of sunlight, views, gracious scale, serenity, and authentic period character.
