Welcome to Residence #21E at 53 West 53rd Street, a high floor 1 bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home where grand scale meets intimate living.
The entry foyer leads you to the sprawling, light-filled 23′ Living Room/ Dining Room that features south-facing, floor-to-ceiling windows. A thoughtfully designed, and well-equipped kitchen houses a suite of Miele appliances and is generously outfitted with custom back-painted glass cabinetry by Molteni. A powder room is situated between the living space and the sleeping quarters.
The large primary suite faces south, is flooded with light and has a large walk-in closet. The room is adjoined by a spa-like master bathroom that is clad in Noir St. Laurent marble and Verona limestone and has radiant heated floors.
With architecture by Pritzker Prize-winner Jean Nouvel and interiors by the legendary Thierry Despont, 53W53 is a true oasis, soaring 1,050 feet high in the heart of Manhattan, perched proudly above the Museum of Modern Art. This white-glove condominium offers doorman, concierge and porter services and houses 30,000 square feet of extraordinary amenities with five-star-hotel-level services that transcend even the most discerning expectations.
