Property Description for 17 West 54th Street, 5-C
This special one bedroom apartment faces South over the MOMA gardens with views of the Sculpture Garden as well as treetops. The original details are in place yet it has been updated with through wall Air-conditioning, new windows, and other modern conveniences. The windowed kitchen has some of the original cabinetry and the bath is in perfect condition with the oversized tub, the pedestal sink along with the medicine cabinet and mirrors created in 1936. The living room (currently used as a home office) is stunning, with the fireplace and mantle still in place. The bedroom also faces South and has the same outlook. Sliding door closets in the dressing area and the nickel hardware complete the space. This apartment has never been on the open market before and has kept the style as it was designed by Wallace K. Harrison for Nelson Rockefeller. It was fully rented before completion according to the building's history. In the early 1950's it was converted to cooperative ownership and is now a Landmark. Long considered home for the cognoscenti, the Rockefeller Apartments have maintained the elegance and grace that Nelson Rockefeller wanted when he built them. Now there is an opportunity to purchase one as it was built.

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.
