Commanding the entire southern exposure of the 51st and 52nd floors, this grand duplex is a true mansion in the sky, showcasing breathtaking panoramic vistas of the city-stretching east, south, and west-with 1,152 square feet of wraparound terraces on the lower level. The interiors were meticulously custom-designed to blend modern refinement with classical detail, creating a residence of rare balance, scale, and serenity.
A Grand First Impression
A dramatic wrought-iron and bronze semi-circular staircase, inspired by an 18th-century Parisian hôtel particulier, serves as the centerpiece of the home's grand design. The seventy-five-foot gallery, paved in the same limestone selected by I.M. Pei for the Louvre Pyramid, leads to an impressive enfilade of three sun-filled reception rooms, all graced with sweeping skyline views.
The library, enveloped in antique English pine paneling sourced from Crowther of Syon Lodge, offers both gravitas and warmth, complete with a wood-burning fireplace. Adjacent, a corner study opens directly to the east terrace, while a luminous living room-also with a fireplace-captures sunset views and access to the west terrace. An elegant dining gallery and a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen flow seamlessly to the west-facing terrace, creating an ideal setting for sophisticated entertaining.
Completing this level are three powder rooms, including an extraordinary Egyptian-inspired bath, a butler's pantry, staff kitchen, laundry, and staff suite with ensuite bath.
Private Quarters Above
The upper level houses the primary suite, a secluded sanctuary featuring two luxurious primary baths, a gym, and abundant closet space. The primary bedroom and adjoining corner study each enjoy a wood-burning fireplace and captivating skyline views. Four additional bedrooms, each with ensuite baths and generous closets, complete the upper floor, all bathed in natural light and commanding stunning vistas.
A Tower of Culture and Service
As part of the prestigious MoMA complex, the Museum Tower redefines white-glove condominium living. Residents enjoy a 24-hour staff including doormen, concierge, valets, and elevator attendants, alongside an array of amenities: a fitness center with sauna, steam, and meditation rooms; a screening and conference suite; temperature-controlled wine storage; and a beautifully landscaped roof terrace overlooking MoMA's sculpture gardens. Housekeeping and laundry services are also available.
