Midtown condominium 53W53 was designed by Pritzker Prize laureate Jean Nouvel with interiors by Thierry Despont, so it follows that the model unit would include equally impressive design credentials: The building has just unveiled a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,410-square-foot apartment styled by AD100 firm ASH Staging, whose New York City clients include One Prospect Park West, The Four Seasons Private Residences, and 208 Delancey Street. The designer is also known for its work on chic hotels like The Siren in Detroit and Hotel Peter and Paul in New Orleans.
Like all residents at 53W53, the owners of the model unit will enjoy access to five-star amenities that include a fitness center with separate movement studio, a regulation squash court, a 65-foot lap pool with hot tub and cold plunge pool, locker rooms with saunas and steam rooms, a screening room designed by Mr. Despont, and a library.
53W53 is located right above the Museum of Modern Art, and Benefactor Membership is conferred with each residence. Its address also allows for easy access to Central Park, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, and the Theater District. In addition to the model unit, which is listed for $6.67 million, the building has listings ranging from a one-bedroom for $2.899 million to a four-bedroom duplex penthouse listed for $64.73 million.

↓ The furniture is low-scale, so as not to distract from the north and east-facing views.
↓ A pair of pocket doors leads to the custom windowed kitchen with polished statuary marble countertops, back-painted glass cabinetry, and Miele and Sub-Zero appliances.
