Description

Balancing grand scale living with the intimate feeling of home, Residence 31A at 53 West 53 comprises 3,558 square feet, offering three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and north- and east-facing exposures. Gracious proportions and ceilings ranging up to approximately 10'9" set the awe-inspiring stage for world-renowned designer Thierry Despont's masterfully conceived interiors. Bespoke detailing typically reserved for privately commissioned homes abounds, while a rich yet soft palette of museum-quality finishes imbues each space with both modern glamour and timeless elegance.

Beyond the entry gallery, the generous living room is lined on two sides with floor-to-ceiling windows that artfully frame north- and east-facing views. The adjoining open custom kitchen by Thierry Despont for Molteni features polished statuary marble countertops and a back-lit statuary backsplash that complement back-painted glass cabinetry with polished nickel detailing and Dornbracht fixtures. The extensive suite of appliances by Miele and Sub-Zero includes a fully integrated refrigerator and freezer, five-burner cooktop with fully vented hood, integrated dishwasher, wall oven, and under-counter wine refrigerator.

The private primary suite offers north- and east-facing views; multiple closets including one walk-in; and a spacious, windowed en suite bath with radiant heated floors. Elegantly appointed in polished Noir St. Laurent marble, high-honed Verona limestone, and polished Persian golden travertine with polished nickel Dornbracht fixtures throughout, the primary bathroom features two separate custom carved vanities, a cast iron Lefroy Brooks soaking tub, freestanding shower, and private water closet with commode and bidet. Two additional bedrooms-one facing north and the other east-each offer an en suite bathroom clad in high-honed Verona limestone with polished nickel Dornbracht fixtures.

Completing the residence are a beautifully appointed powder room and a discreet utility closet with washer and vented dryer. No detail has been overlooked, from the custom interior lighting design by Thierry Despont in collaboration with Schwinghammer, to the motorized Lutron solar shades throughout with additional blackout shades in each bedroom, to the supply of humidified and filtered fresh air throughout the home.

With architecture by Pritzker Prize-winner Jean Nouvel and interiors by the legendary Thierry Despont, 53 West 53 is a true icon, rising 1,050 feet in the heart of Manhattan against the cinematic backdrop of Central Park and the surrounding cityscape. Over 30,000 square feet of extraordinary amenities and deeply personalized, five-star-hotel-level services transcend even the most discerning expectations. The building also features an on-premise partner restaurant, 53 by Altamarea Group, offering resident-only dining experiences.

The complete offering terms are in an offering plan available from Sponsor. File No. CD14-0230. Sponsor: W2005/Hines West Fifty-Third Realty, LLC, 53 West 53rd Street, Unit 38C, New York, NY 10019.
