Description

An art lover’s dream in Midtown! Enjoy the light & luxurious of this impeccably-renovated 1 bedroom 1.5 bath home in award-winning Museum Tower. Part of a redesign of The Museum of Modern Art, and conceived by renowned architect Cesar Pelli, the white-glove condominium represents art at its best, with adjacency to MoMA and distinguished works throughout the lobby, common spaces & halls that speak to a world of culture. Acclaimed American architect Phillip Johnson, designed the building’s terrace overlooking the MoMA Sculpture Garden; and the famous Christie’s auction house at Rockefeller Center is just minutes away.

The apartment is itself a work of modern art with its fine design & custom elements.

Custom-stained hardwood floors add warmth & style; plus there’s lots of wall space for displaying your favorite paintings, drawings & photographs. Sunlight pours into the generous southwest corner apartment through oversized windows showcasing striking city views. Great for entertaining, the large living room features custom stained rift-cut white oak millwork cabinetry & a chandelier by Lindsey Adelman above the dining area.

The flow continues to the top-of-the-line eat-in kitchen brightened by windows facing the MoMA roof garden. The chef will delight in the custom designed & fabricated Allmilmo cabinetry imported from Germany, Luce de Luna quartzite marble countertops, and premium appliances by Miele & Liebherr.

The well-appointed powder room boasts custom Corian cabinets & a statuary white slab marble top. Topping the allure is your divine primary bedroom featuring custom stained rift white oak millwork & a huge custom-outfitted closet for personal belongings.

Pocket doors provide entry to the primary bedroom & spa-like primary bath wrapped in travertine marble walls, with travertine slab & tile accents, Corian cabinets & a floating dual-sink vanity.
