At the Legendary Museum Tower

Occupying the northern expanse of the 51st and 52nd floors, this remarkable duplex residence commands sweeping, cinematic views of Central Park, the Hudson River, the George Washington Bridge, and the glittering Midtown skyline-from every room. Designed by the celebrated architect César Pelli, the Museum Tower stands as an iconic, award-winning, full-service condominium adjoining the Museum of Modern Art-one of Manhattan's most distinguished addresses.

Spanning approximately 5, 000 square feet, this two-level home offers grandly proportioned living and entertaining spaces. A dramatic double-height foyer and an elegant circular staircase introduce the main level, leading to a 50-foot-long living room whose floor-to-ceiling windows perfectly frame the city's most breathtaking vistas. The space is anchored by a handsome wood-burning fireplace and rich wood paneling, while two setback terraces-one at each end of the room-total nearly 800 square feet and create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

The chef's kitchen, facing east, is equipped for the most discerning cook, featuring a professional-grade Wolf range, dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, abundant counter space, and exceptional storage. A guest powder room, staff suite with ensuite bath, a butler's pantry, laundry area, and a convenient dumbwaiter complete this level.

Upstairs, the private quarters include three spacious bedrooms, one of which is currently configured as a library. The primary suite is a luxurious retreat with two full baths, three walk-in closets, and a generous dressing area. Two additional bedrooms each feature ensuite baths, ample closet space, and mesmerizing views of either Central Park or the Midtown skyline. Two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and character to the upper floor.

Residents of the Museum Tower enjoy an unmatched standard of service, with a professional staff of over 50 offering white-glove amenities including optional maid, laundry, and valet services. The building features one of the finest private fitness centers in the city, a media and conference room, temperature-controlled wine storage, private storage rooms, and a beautifully landscaped roof terrace overlooking MoMA's sculpture gardens.

Centrally located in the heart of Midtown, steps from Central Park, Fifth Avenue shopping, and the city's premier dining and cultural institutions, The Museum Tower embodies the pinnacle of sophisticated Manhattan living-and this extraordinary duplex stands as its crown jewel.
