This rarely available prewar cooperative residence is in the renowned Millan House constructed by the Rockefeller family in 1930. You enter this 5 room oasis through a generously proportioned central foyer with French doors and travertine floor into an expansive south facing living room. There is a beautiful carved marble mantle and an Empire style mirror over the wood burning fireplace, parquet of Versailles flooring, floor to ceiling bookcases along the entire wall with hidden thru wall air conditioner. The multi paned casement windows have been scraped to expose their original metal throughout the apartment and add an old world feel in contrast to the many modern amenities. Perfect for entertaining, you enter the adjoining dining room which is large enough to seat 8-10 people around a circular table. There is a thru wall air conditioner, bookcases flanking the doorway as well as north facing casement windows overlooking the central garden. Another left off the central foyer and you enter the master suite with a thru wall air conditioner, a large walk-in closet, 2 additional wall closets and an en suite bathroom. The black and white bath tiles accent the French style sink, deep tub and medicine cabinet. This design style is prevalent throughout the apartment and reaches a pinnacle in the gorgeous cook's kitchen. You can enter from the right side of the central foyer into the pantry or from the dining room. The pantry and kitchen have a classic black and white tiled floor and black honed granite on the counters and under the wall of casement windows. There are top of the line appliances with a Viking stove, Subzero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, washer and dryer which circle the kitchen allowing plenty of work space. Storage is abundant and there is even a built in desk with shelving and file drawers. Finally, there is a second bedroom with a thru wall air conditioner and a second bathroom with a stall shower. The ceilings are close to 10 feet and there is only one other apartment on the floor. Views from the living room and bedroom facing south are onto the architecturally significant red brick Park Avenue Armory which is quite private as no windows in the Armory face the apartment. Recently, this alternative arts center received a 65 million dollar gift to enhance their programming and make it unlike anything else in New York City The Millan House was designed by the renowned architect, Andrew J. Thomas, for John D. Rockefeller, Jr. It is a classic full service, white glove building with one of the prettiest lobbies in all of New York City which is enhanced by an Italianate garden courtyard and an antique circular fountain. Overlooking the central garden from the lobby, one can view all the way to 68th street and beyond. The garden was recently redone, the fountain and terraces renewed and all the plantings were all replaced. Even the building's exterior is unique as it is adorned with fantastic carved creatures! There are 24 hour doormen and a live in superintendent. Some of the recent building upgrades include new passenger elevators, new roof and newly repointed façade and painted exterior window casings. The building allows pied-a-terres, pets and a private large storage unit transfers with the apartment.
