138 E 50th Street #27C

Apartment 27C — a Two-Bedroom Two-Bath Sanctuary at The Centrale, Featuring Champalimaud’s Celebrated Ultraluxe Interior Design In the same neighborhood as the Waldorf-Astoria, The Centrale was designed by distinguished architects Pelli Clarke Pelli, with interior design by Champalimaud, highly regarded for their work in hospitality, with The Dorchester, Beverly Hills Hotel, and The Carlyle to their credit. You can only imagine what they brought to their first residential project. The Centrale, up and running for several years now, has the refined atmosphere of a luxurious boutique hotel, albeit a very tall one, reaching 71 stories. The building has many special features, such as a highly unusual and useful block-through porte cochere and elevated outdoor garden terrace, along with beautiful lounges with soaring ceilings, a catering kitchen, dining room, and a spectacular 75-foot lap pool and cutting-edge gym. Apt 27C is the only 2BR/2Bth currently available as one of the first resales in the building. In immaculate, triple mint-condition, the owner has added motorized shades on some of the windows, and built out the closets. There are only two other apartments on the 27th floor, adding to a feeling of exclusivity. 27C has a very pleasing layout, opening into a proper entry foyer with a double closet and excellent wall space for art. The Great Room has open city views South and East, while the two bedrooms face North. The open kitchen features white oak millwork, a good-looking suite of Gaggenau appliances, Subzero fridge, and a wide, imposing marble waterfall island counter. The apartment is ultra-quiet and filled with soft natural light throughout the day, The primary bedroom has two exposures north and east, an outfitted walk-in closet, a second custom-designed closet, and remote-controlled blinds. The en-suite primary bath is marble, and has an Art Deco flair. Enjoy radiant-heated floors, custom vanities, double sinks, soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. The cozy secondary bedroom faces north and has its own spacious walk-in closet. The second bathroom is also custom marble, with a large shower. It also serves as a powder room. Along with Nest thermostats, there is a Bosch W/D tucked away in it’s own hallway closet. As an added bonus, an ever-useful, private storage unit transfers with the sale.
