Property Description for 17 West 54th Street, 7-C

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.

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.
