Description

Floating atop New York’s iconic skyline and comprising the entire 66th floor of 53 West 53, this exquisite residence offers majestic scale with four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and north-, south-, east-, and west-facing exposures. Gracious proportions and ceilings ranging up to approximately 11 feet set the awe-inspiring stage for world-renowned designer, Thierry Despont, to craft residences with many custom elements typically reserved for privately commissioned homes. These museum-quality finishes coalesce with expressive architecture by Pritzker Prize-winner Jean Nouvel to create singular spaces of unsurpassed grandeur and elegance in both scale and proportion.

With direct elevator access, the home opens upon a sprawling gallery that separates living and entertainment spaces from the private bedroom wing.

To the north, a spectacular living room is surrounded by three walls of floor-to-ceiling windows that artfully frame north-, west-, and east-facing views that dazzle at every moment, day or night. The space flows into the massive eat-in kitchen designed by Thierry Despont for Molteni and offering north- and east-facing views. Anchored by an oversized center island, the kitchen features polished statuary marble countertops and a back-lit statuary marble backsplash that complement back-painted glass cabinetry with polished nickel detailing and Dornbracht fixtures.

The extensive suite of appliances by Miele and Sub-Zero includes two fully integrated refrigerators and freezers, a six-burner cooktop with fully vented hood, two integrated dishwashers, double wall oven, speed oven, steam oven, dual under-counter wine refrigerators, and an integrated coffee maker.

The corner primary suite is a study in grandeur, featuring a bedroom wrapped in three walls of glass to the north, south, and west, multiple closets including an oversized walk-in and a windowed dressing room, and spa-like ensuite bathroom that blends tradition and originality. Elegantly appointed in polished Noir St. Laurent marble, high-honed Verona limestone, and polished Persian golden travertine with polished nickel Dornbracht fixtures throughout, the primary bathroom features two separate custom carved vanities with custom Thierry Despont-designed polished nickel automated mirrors, a cast iron Lefroy Brooks soaking tub, freestanding steam shower, radiant heated floors, private water closet with commode and bidet, and a large linen closet. Three additional bedrooms each offer an en suite bathroom clad in high-honed Verona limestone with polished nickel Dornbracht fixtures.

Bedroom Two features bright south- and east-facing views, while bedrooms Three and Four enjoy easterly light. Completing the residence are a beautifully appointed powder room, a discreet utility room with side-by-side washer and vented dryer, and a separate service entrance for the ultimate in privacy. No detail has been overlooked, from the custom interior lighting design by Thierry Despont in collaboration with Schwinghammer, to the motorized Lutron solar shades throughout with additional blackout shades in each bedroom, to the supply of humidified and filtered fresh air throughout the home.

53 West 53 is a sculptural icon, rising 1,050 feet in the heart of Manhattan against the cinematic backdrop of Central Park and the surrounding cityscape.

Designed to be responsive to residents in every way, 53 West 53 offers 30,000 square feet of amenities and five-star hotel-level service, bringing an unprecedented level of access and refinement to the residential experience. The building also features an on-premise partner restaurant, 53 by Altamarea Group, with exclusive resident-only dining experiences.
