The king-size primary suite boasts luxurious walk-in closets and a lovely en-suite bathroom with couples' vanities, tiled floors, and a step-in shower. The second and third bedrooms are spacious and bright and have easy access to large hall closets and two full bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. Either bedroom can be used as a home office, media room, or den.

Museum Tower is a sought-after full-service condominium designed by legendary architect Cesar Pelli.
