Description

High up in Tower 53, this newly renovated, south-facing apartment is the quintessential midtown home. Classically laid out with an open area large enough for both a living and dining space, a spacious bedroom, and a separate kitchen, this is the perfect space to entertain, unwind, and live. 

Recently retouched with luxurious quality finishes throughout, this apartment is designed with indulgence and comfort in mind. A beautiful modern bath features an advanced shower system, Porcelanosa tiles, and Kohler fixtures. An updated kitchen dazzles with new cabinetry, stainless steels appliances, gorgeous tiles, and powerful ventilation to redirect food odors outside. Additionally, with electric and heating included in the monthly costs, residents can enjoy unlimited heating, air conditioning and electric use throughout the year!

A post-war, full-service condominium, prestigious Tower 53 offers all the essential amenities for luxurious and convenient living in Midtown. Centrally located among iconic skyscrapers and between world-renowned Times Square and Columbus Cirlce, home is just steps away from the finest restaurants, theaters, and major attractions in one of the most dynamic neighborhoods of New York. B, D, and E trains are conveniently at outside the building's doorstep for easy commute to anywhere in the city.
