A MASTERPIECE IN THE SKY

At the very top of the Iconic 53 West 53, this full-floor duplex penthouse is more than a residence. It is a rarefied world above Manhattan. Rising across the 78th and 79th floors, the home stretches 7,455 sqft and commands 360-degree views that sweep from the green expanse of Central Park to the city skyline and rivers beyond. Designed by world-renowned architect Jean Nouvel, the tower itself is a landmark of bold architecture and refined living, with the penthouse as its crowning jewel.

UNIQUE RESIDENCE

Inside, Thierry Despont’s vision takes shape across soaring spaces and tailored details. Ceilings reach at 22 FT in the double-height great room, where a monumental limestone fireplace anchors walls of glass framing Central Park. The custom Molteni kitchen gleams with polished statuary marble, back-painted glass cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances by Miele and Sub-Zero. Every detail is executed with precision and quiet drama.

This residence is a sanctuary in the clouds. The primary suite, wrapped in views to the north, south, and east, offers a spa-like bathroom clad in marble, travertine, and limestone, complete with radiant-heated floors, dual vanities, steam shower, and cast iron soaking tub. 3 additional bedrooms, each with its own perspective and design integrity, offer elegance and comfort in equal measure.

Throughout the home, curated details abound: motorized Lutron shades, bespoke lighting designed in collaboration with Schwinghammer, humidified and filtered fresh air, and a private interior elevator for seamless flow between levels.

This is not just a home. It is a private estate in the sky where craftsmanship meets grandeur and every element reflects world-class design.
