The gracious living room is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Recessed lighting, refined moldings, and distinctive bay windows create architectural character and warmth. A custom ventless fireplace serves as an inviting focal point, while four integrated ceiling speakers and a built-in Sonos sound system deliver an elevated audio experience. Motorized blackout shades and additional blackout coverings at the bay windows allow the space to comfortably accommodate overnight guests.

The marble-clad bathroom offers a spa-like retreat, highlighted by a sculptural vanity designed by award-winning designer Rodolfo Agrella, complemented by thoughtfully placed mirrors and flattering lighting that create a timeless, boutique-hotel aesthetic.

The serene bedroom is framed by elegant architectural moldings and offers two generous closets for exceptional storage. Motorized blackout shades create the perfect environment for restful, uninterrupted sleep.

Perfectly positioned just five blocks from Central Park and moments from the Museum of Modern Art, Fifth Avenue shopping, Broadway theaters, and some of Manhattan’s finest restaurants, this residence places world-class culture, dining, and entertainment at your doorstep.

The Rockefeller Apartments have long been home to notable residents, including publisher Eltinge F. Warner and playwright Benjamin M. Kaye, and continue to attract those who appreciate exceptional architecture, design, and an unmatched Midtown location.

Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, an elegant pied-à-terre, or a timeless New York investment, this remarkable home offers an opportunity to own a piece of Manhattan’s architectural legacy.

Your city. Your masterpiece.
