Co-op, 24 W 55TH Street #7AF, Midtown-Midtown South - Real Estate New York

Description

A unique opportunity to combine Apartments 7A and 7F at the landmarked 1936 Rockefeller Apartments at 24 West 55th Street. Together they will comprise an expansive two or three bedroom, two full bathroom residence with four multi-paned new casement windows facing south over the verdant greenery of the building's historic gardens. Stretching from east to west, the proposed combination will offer the opportunity to create a luxuriously sized primary suite with the potential for a home office, gym and dressing room. Attractive elements include original hardwood floors, two decorative fireplaces, new thru-the-wall hvac systems and original hardware. These apartments are also listed separately and may be purchased as one bedroom properties.

Considered one of the finest residential examples of 1930's International Style residential architecture in New York, The Rockefeller Apartments at 24 West 55th Street and 17 West 54th Street are two sister buildings joined by a newly restored gracious and lush green garden with a reflecting pool, gravel courtyard and midcentury-style design elements. Residents are able to enter the cooperative from either 54th or 55th Street, both of which are serviced by a full time doorman. Critically praised by architectural critics, the buildings were developed by Nelson Rockefeller in 1936 with architects Wallace K. Harrison J. and Andre Fouilhoux and are known for their distinctive features such as curved casement windows and a warm limestone color. Shareholders enjoy 24 hour doormen, porter staff, live-in superintendent, laundry room, courtyard garden and storage (as available). 75% financing is permitted. Foreign, pied-a-terre ownership and pets are okay. Fifth Avenue shopping, restaurants, The Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Broadway entertainment, and all forms of major transportation are nearby. There is a 2% flip tax.
