MOMA MUSINGS

A rare seven room, spacious home across the street from MOMA, apartment 6FEH in Regent House is the result of a thoughtful combination of three apartments. The living / entertaining space opens with a welcoming foyer and a step-down double living room and dining room. The windowed kitchen's pantry includes a full bathroom. The bedroom wing , accessed by an elegant hallway, consists of three large bedrooms (all king-size+), each with its own en-suite full bath. Grand proportions and pre-war art-deco details enhance the character of this 2,000 sq. ft. residence.

Regent House is a pre-eminent full service co-op built in 1939 in the art-deco style. There is a common rooftop deck, garden, and storage space in the basement. The co-op recently renovated the lobby and hallways and installed new windows and HVAC units. The outstanding staff includes 24-hour doormen, a resident manager, and superintendent. Pets and pied-a-terre are welcome. 75% financing permitted. 2% flip tax.

This architecturally historic block of 54th street is anchored to the east by the University Club of NY. Mid-block is the "West 54th Street Residences Historic District", consisting of five contiguous townhouses (5,7,11,13, 15) built in 1899 -1900 by some of New York's most notable families. The adjoining Rockefeller Apartments (#17) and Regent House complement this idyllic block.
