About This Home
Impeccably Renovated Home in Museum Tower - Top-of-the-Line Finishes!! Renovation took over 1 year and over $750,000!
Enter into this newly renovated, spacious one-bedroom condominium in the beautiful Museum Tower, located right next to the Museum of Modern Art on West 53rd Street in Manhattan.
Experience the pinnacle of luxury living with a top-of-the-line renovation that showcases the finest construction, finishes, and materials throughout approximately 1,187 square feet. The renovation of Residence #20E took over a year to complete, over $750,000 and reflects an extraordinary level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Nearly every element was custom made or imported from Europe, with all work completed to the highest standards.
The apartment features White Venetian plaster walls, rich dark hardwood floors that have been stained and sealed, solar and electric shades, and remotely controlled central heat and air conditioning in each room. All new electric and plumbing systems were installed during the renovation, and all walls were finished in wood-not sheetrock-for a refined, enduring feel.
The doors are soundproof and imported from Germany, with sash hinges and Valli & Valli hardware from Italy. All bathroom fixtures are by Fantini, also imported from Italy. The kitchen and bathroom floors and tile are by Ann Sacks, with matching stone finishes. The kitchen features a sleek Arclinea design with real honed marble countertops, Fisher & Paykel appliances, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator.
As you enter the grand foyer, you'll find a walk-in utility and coat closet on your right, and a stylish half bath on your left. A mirrored and shelved alcove offers the perfect spot to display your favorite accessories and conveniently store entry items. The corner southeast-facing living/dining room is bathed in natural light, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and a corner window with a glimpse of Central Park. The views offer a captivating blend of modern and old-world architecture.
The tranquil bedroom includes two generous closet areas-one custom-made by McCormick and the other designed by California Closets-each with fully finished interiors including back walls. A built-in desk provides a quiet and refined workspace. The en-suite bath features a custom vanity and a large walk-in shower, delivering a spa-like experience at home.
This triple-mint residence is a must-see, ideal as a perfect primary residence or a pied- -terre. Museum Tower is a premier condominium known for its prime location and exceptional amenities, including a full-time concierge, doorman, fitness center with a sauna, media room, laundry, valet service, bike room, roof deck, and a wine room. Pets are welcome.
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a pristine, fully renovated home in one of Manhattan's most sought-after addresses!
