Property Description

This modern jewel box apartment has been newly renovated to museum standards and is now being offered for sale in pristine, never been lived in, condition. Located on the 53rd floor, this exceptional residence is perched high above Midtown Manhattan with open city views to the south and east, and river views to the west. New casement windows have been installed in each room, enhancing the spectacular panorama. Window seating has been incorporated throughout, with a built-in daybed in the primary bedroom, a banquette in the dining area, and upholstered bench in the second bedroom. Following a full gut renovation, the apartment layout has been transformed into an open plan concept, moving natural light through the unit, and providing comfortable circulation throughout the home. The design allows for two bedroom suites ideally located on opposite sides of the apartment. The primary bedroom showcases built-in casework fabricated from hand-selected beech wood, with a wall-to-wall headboard, touch-open cabinets, and floating nightstands with hidden compartments to conceal outlets and plugs. Each bedroom has its own spa-like bathroom en suite, featuring shower toilets with heated washlet seats, floating vanities with integrated Corian sinks, custom mirrors with linear LED lighting, showers clad in Bianco Dolomite white marble mosaic, acid-etched glass shower doors, heated stone floors, and Danish plumbing fixtures from Vola. The primary bathroom boasts a deep custom-designed Corian soaking tub fitted with a hand shower. A separate powder room is located at the rear of the apartment. Clean lines and crisp detailing are found throughout the space, reflecting the highest standards of modern design and construction. Walls appear to be lit from within, thanks to illuminated niches and recessed light coves, which cast the rooms in a soft ambient glow. Specialty door hardware, shadow gaps, and flush outlets/switches complete this fine architectural specimen. The interior finishes are luxurious but purposefully restrained in order to affect a calm and contemplative environment. Matte limestone floors create a stone carpet underfoot, with steamed European beech woodwork and honed Corian surfaces rounding out this elegant material palette. The custom-designed kitchen conceals a full appliance package by Miele, all hidden behind matte lacquered panels. The Miele refrigerator door offers a handle-free, touch to open function, while the Miele convection oven features a white glass door. The Miele induction cooktop is beautifully designed and makes cleanup easy. The kitchen sink is integrated into the Corian countertops and is fitted with a garbage disposal. A full-height pantry has interior outlets for concealing countertop appliances. There is a Miele washer and dryer with pedestal drawer and space for hang-drying clothing in a designated laundry area within the apartment. There is generous storage with multiple storage closets throughout the residence. CitySpire is a luxury condominium with a dramatic double-height lobby, upgraded hallways, renovated gym and pool facilities, and full-time staff. A parking garage is located on premise with access from within the building. Pets and pied-a-terres are allowed. The building is excellently located just steps from Central Park, Carnegie Hall, the Museum of Modern Art, Fifth Avenue, and Columbus Circle. This masterful work of interior architecture should be viewed in person to fully appreciate the extensive detailing and scope of design work. Please contact broker to schedule a private tour.
