Rare Opportunitу at 53 Wеst 53 | Cuѕtomіzаblе Luxury Half‐Flοοr Rеsіdence This exceptional half-floor residence at the iconic 53 West 53 presents a rare and remarkable opportunity. Spanning over 4,500 square feet, this expansive home is fully customizable as a three-, four-, or five-bedroom residence, offering unmatched flexibility for discerning buyers. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel with interiors by Thierry Despont, the residence is a true showcase of refined detail, elegant craftsmanship, and sophisticated design. With panoramic city views from three exposures, this home delivers stunning vistas and an elevated living experience. Currently configured as a single sprawling residence encompassing over 4,500 square feet, the possibilities for personalization are boundless. The layout includes two grand primary suites, a spacious kitchen in the main section, and a smaller kitchenette perfectly suited for an additional wing. The kitchen is a masterpiece by Molteni, curated by Despont, featuring polished statuary marble countertops, a striking illuminated backsplash, and sleek high-gloss glass cabinetry accented with polished nickel. Top-of-the-line Miele and Sub-Zero appliances include a vented five-burner cooktop, integrated refrigerator/freezer, wall oven, dishwasher, and wine cooler — seamlessly blending elegance with performance. Both primary suites offer generous walk-in closets and spa-inspired en suite bathrooms clad in an exquisite mix of polished Noir St. Laurent marble, honed Verona limestone, and warm golden Persian travertine. These luxurious baths feature radiant heated floors, dual vanities, a deep soaking tub by Lefroy Brooks, a separate glass-enclosed shower, and a private water closet. The three (or four, if preferred) secondary bedrooms each come with their own en suite bathrooms, appointed with refined limestone finishes and gleaming Dornbracht fixtures. Additional highlights include a beautifully designed powder room, a utility closet with vented washer and dryer, and state-of-the-art features such as motorized Lutron shades with blackout options in the bedrooms, bespoke lighting by Despont and Schwinghammer, and continuous circulation of humidified, filtered air. Set within the iconic 53 West 53 tower this luxury residence offers access to an extraordinary suite of services and amenities that redefine elevated living. Located just five blocks from Central Park in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, 53 West 53 provides over 30,000 square feet of world-class offerings designed for wellness, leisure, and culture. Amenities include a cutting-edge fitness center curated by The Wright Fit, complete with sauna, steam, and massage rooms, as well as a squash court, golf simulator, 65-foot lap pool, whirlpool, and cold plunge. Additional features include a children’s playroom, a screening room, wine tasting room, and a private dining room for entertaining. Residents also enjoy exclusive access to 53 by Altamarea Group, the building’s signature restaurant offering refined dining experiences reserved solely for residents. Originally two separate residences, this offering was combined into a single tax lot at closing to create an expansive half-floor home of over 4,500 square feet. The property can be decoupled into two independent units again, following the required legal and building procedures. This provides buyers with a rare level of flexibility — to enjoy it as one sprawling residence or to reconfigure into two distinct homes. Price available upon request.
