Description

Located in the heart of one of the most desirable and closely watched neighborhoods in the world, this magnificent 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence has been lavishly bedecked with a bevy of luxurious appointments befitting a home at the gateway to Billionaire's Row. High ceilings, intricate crown moldings, a wood-burning fireplace and glittering French doors recall the glamour and elegance of 1920s Manhattan, and a host of top-of-the-line fixtures and appliances ensure the comfort and convenience offered by the most modern neighboring skyscrapers. The rarest slabs of specimen stone adorn the newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms, lending those spaces an air of opulence befitting a world class residence.

40 West 55th Street is a fully renovated condominium designed in 1924 by Rosario Candela, Jazz Age New York's pre-eminent architect of luxury apartment buildings, including 740 Park Avenue. This white-glove, full-service building offers residents a full-time doorman, storage, central laundry and only four residences per floor. Pets and pieds-a-terre are welcome.
