Property Description for 24 West 55th Street, PHA

Beautiful, classic NYC penthouse available in a building with gorgeous details and a rich history. Located on the former site of John D. Rockefeller Sr.’s townhouse, this building was constructed in 1936 and instantly became known for its large, curved bay windows and beautiful garden. Today, it remains just as stunning as it was when it was first built and has continued to have a reputation for being a prime Midtown residence. Penthouse A is a lovely Junior-4 home designed by Annette Selldorf in the 1970s. This south-facing penthouse is pin-drop quiet and features beautiful herringbone floors throughout, oversized windows that let in lots of natural light and will soon be updated, a large wraparound terrace, high ceilings, and a character that is all its own. It also features a spacious layout that could be opened up even further by easily creating an open kitchen/dining area. This is a bright, stunning home with endless potential and gorgeous original details throughout. Come make it your own.

Midtown West | Manhattan

Quick Profile

People, yellow cabs, bright lights, big crowds, 24-hour eateries and just about every type of store imaginable. it’s a frenetic buzz that only a few places on the globe can offer. And that’s just one part of it. Midtown West is the birthplace of hustle and bustle and it’s bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 8th Avenue to the west, and 5th Avenue to the east. 

Midtown West is not as residential as other neighborhoods in Manhattan. The bustling part of Midtown West is 42nd Street between Times Square and 8th Avenues where the retail and office space, theatres, and attractions are. No matter what time of day it is, you'll always find activity there. 

Residential buildings lay near the western end of Midtown West beginning around 8th Avenue. 

Location, location, location. Of all the neighborhoods and enclaves of Manhattan, Midtown West is perhaps the most commutable place to live, visit, or work. It contains one of the highest concentrations of subway lines in the Big Apple. A, C, E, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3, and the 7 train. The transit system feeds the streets with commuters from everywhere. The Port Authority Bus Terminal and nearby Penn Station adds to the number of people that flood Midtown on any given day. 

It’s one of the easiest places in all of Manhattan to navigate because it’s a true grid. Uptown, street numbers go up. Downtown, street numbers go down. It’s the same concept from east to west. You really can’t get lost in Midtown West.
