About This Home
Sky-High Elegance Overlooking Central Park
Perched on the 46th floor of César Pelli's celebrated Museum Tower, this grand 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath, 3,452-square-foot residence pairs architectural pedigree with cinematic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Designed by one of the masters of modern architecture, Museum Tower remains a benchmark of refined urban living.
Expansive picture windows bathe the home in natural light by day and showcase the city's sparkling skyline by night. A dramatic 37-foot corner living and dining room anchors the residence, with north and east exposures framing sweeping park and skyline vistas. The beautifully renovated kitchen balances elegance and functionality with custom cabinetry and premium appliances.
The private bedroom wing offers a tranquil retreat. The corner primary suite features park views, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired marble bath with a soaking tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a double vanity. A second north-facing bedroom or library also overlooks the park and includes an en-suite bath, while a third bedroom with bright eastern light and city views features its own en-suite bath. A powder room, media/den area, wet bar, laundry room, and updated HVAC systems complete this thoughtfully designed home. The apartment transfers with two private storage rooms.
Residents of Museum Tower enjoy white-glove amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, concierge, elevator attendants, state-of-the-art fitness center, conference and media rooms, and a landscaped roof terrace overlooking MoMA's sculpture garden. Optional services include housekeeping, laundry, and valet. Pets are welcome, and there is a 2% capital contribution, paid by the purchaser.
