Description

DUPLEX !!! Step into this one-of-a-kind, faultlessly renovated, 5,700 – square foot home. Tastefully finished with Stedila Design – giving this open duplex modern yet warm sensibility. The duplex is configured as a three bedroom but can be converted to a four bedroom.

The current plan is arranged as three bathrooms and two half-baths/powder rooms. Both floors offer expansive views of the world-famous Central Park and the Manhattan skyline to the through floor-to-ceiling windows. An entry gallery on the lower level opens into a sweeping entertainment area.

Past the great room’s decorative fireplace is an inspiring library with a full wall of mahogany shelves. This lush section flows into the dining room, and stretches alongside the remodeled kitchen, which can open up or be closed off as needed by opaque sliding TRE-Piu doors. Partially separated into full and service, the kitchen comes complete with stainless steel Viking appliances, including a six-burner stove.

The double oven sits between the full and service set-ups, and the latter boasts three large Sub-Zero wine refrigerators, a Fisher-Paykel dishwasher, and an ice maker. If that is not enough, there is a breakfast bar with an additional Sub-Zero refrigerator in the service entrance area! The lower level contains one spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, hidden in a corner beyond the living room, providing a warm sense of privacy.

Up the curved, glass staircase, the breathtaking master bedroom occupies the home’s northeast corner. North of the bedroom is where you will find a large walk in closet which can be converted to a home office, or a fourth bedroom. On this upper level sits the fabulous master bathroom, complete with a soaking tub and a separate shower, a hair sink, along with a bidet.

On the other side of the master bedroom is walk-in closet which houses custom shelving, and another full bath, complete with a concrete tub and a separate shower that doubles as a steam room and features a heated shaving mirror. A third large bedroom also factors into the upper level of this duplex and has its own en-suite bathroom. Additional tech-forward features include Somfy electric blinds throughout, as well as a Sonos and Crestron home audio system that circulates music within all the rooms.

In the laundry room, a Miele washer and dryer are complemented by a sink and further storage space. Three storage units and two wine bins are provided with this home. Museum Tower at 15 West 53rd Street is a full service, white-glove condominium building with an array of top-tier amenities.

There’s precise service, from both a 24-hour doorman and elevator attendants. And there are personal touches, from the landscaped terrace overlooking the MoMA sculpture garden to a newly renovated bi-level fitness center with sauna. There is also a wine tasting room, conference and media rooms, housekeeping services, and additional laundry facilities.

It’s a home that can nurture any vision for modern living.
