Combining superb sophistication and craftsmanship with the intimate feeling of home, Residence 54A at 53 West 53 comprises 3,867 square feet, offering three bedrooms and a windowed study, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and north-, 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 singular spaces in the sky with many custom elements typically reserved for primarily commissioned homes. The rich yet soft palette of museum-quality finishes imbues each space with boldness and elegance.
The formal entry gallery gives way to the generous corner living room, lined on two sides with floor-to-ceiling windows that artfully frame east-, west-, and breathtaking north-facing views of Central Park. An adjacent pair of pocket doors opens to reveal the windowed custom kitchen with dramatic center island by Thierry Despont for Molteni, where polished statuary marble countertops and a back-lit statuary marble backsplash complement back-painted glass cabinetry with polished nickel detailing and Dornbracht fixtures. The extensive suite of appliances by Miele and Sub-Zero includes a fully integrated refrigerator and freezer, five-burner cooktop with fully vented hood, integrated dishwasher, wall oven, steam oven, speed oven, under-counter wine refrigerator, and integrated coffee maker.
In the bedroom wing, an airy gallery leads past the windowed study to the primary suite, offering north- and east-facing views; a walk-in closet; 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 shower, radiant heated floors, private water closet with commode and bidet, and a large linen closet. Two additional bedrooms with east-facing views each offer an en suite bathroom clad in high-honed Verona limestone with polished nickel Dornbracht fixtures. Completing the residence are a beautifully appointed powder room and a discreet utility closet with side-by-side washer and vented dryer. 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.
With visionary design by Pritzker Prize-winner Jean Nouvel and interiors by the legendary Thierry Despont, 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. 53 West 53 is designed to be responsive to residents in every way, with over 30,000 square feet of amenities and five-star hotel-level service that bring an unprecedented level of access and refinement to the residential experience. The building also features an on-premise partner restaurant, 53 by Altamarea Group, offering resident-only dining experiences.
