A Mid-Century Gem at Executive Towers
With luminous picture windows, a gracious layout, and timeless mid-century proportions, Residence 12V at the Executive Towers offers an elegant blend of function and light. Designed by master architect Philip Birnbaum and completed in 1963, the building stands as a landmark of modern living—seamlessly uniting architectural pedigree with everyday comfort.
A welcoming entry opens into a generous foyer, where a large triple closet adds immediate convenience. From here, the expansive living room unfolds, anchored by an east-facing picture window—an iconic hallmark of the building’s design. Bathed in natural light, this inviting space offers serene open views by day and sparkling tranquility by night.
The windowed kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated while retaining a sense of character. Facing south, it features a water line to the refrigerator for an automatic ice maker, a farmhouse sink, a paneled Bosch dishwasher that blends seamlessly with the cabinetry, and a separate gas cooktop and wall oven. There is also space for a café table or breakfast bar, making it both stylish and functional.
The spacious primary suite enjoys southern exposures and a large, deep closet, creating a true retreat. The second bedroom, set on the corner with both south and east exposures, is a cozy, light-filled sanctuary. The renovated windowed bathroom preserves its mid-century heritage with the original cast-iron bathtub/shower and original dual medicine cabinets with built-in hamper, blending vintage charm with modern updates.
Original copper doorknobs and closet door pulls remain throughout the apartment, preserving authentic mid-century detail. Ample closets and storage spaces further enhance the practicality of the home.
Monthly maintenance is exceptionally low and includes all utilities—even central air conditioning.
