NYC ULTRA Luxury Penthouse: 360° Skyline & Central Park Views

Imagine watching Central Park’s seasons change from 1,050 feet in the air, with the Hudson’s sunsets, the East River’s morning light, and Manhattan’s towers all playing across your windows like a private time-lapse of the city. This duplex penthouse at Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street is less an apartment and more a curated observatory of New York’s cultural and architectural life.
​
On the lower level, the double-height great room delivers a moment that even seasoned New Yorkers do not forget. A monumental limestone fireplace grounds the space, while three sides of floor-to-ceiling glass pull Central Park directly into the room, from autumn foliage to winter snow to spring cherry blossoms. An airy gallery leads to a corner formal dining room positioned to capture different angles of park and skyline, making every dinner feel like a private event. The Molteni kitchen, with backlit statuary marble and back-painted glass cabinetry, hides a full Miele and Sub-Zero suite behind artful finishes so the space reads as design first, appliance second.
​
Upstairs, the 79th-floor primary suite reads like a five-star spa with its own skybox. Three-direction exposures wrap the bedroom in city and river views, while the ensuite bath layers Noir St. Laurent marble, Verona limestone, and Persian golden travertine around a Lefroy Brooks soaking tub and steam shower. Two additional bedrooms with windowed ensuites, a private elevator, service entrance, and meticulously planned utility spaces keep the vertical mansion running effortlessly.
​
Outside your door, MoMA sits directly across the street, with Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Broadway, Fifth Avenue flagships, 57th Street galleries, and Central Park’s 843 acres all within an easy walk. Custom lighting by Schwinghammer, Lutron solar and blackout shades, and humidified, filtered fresh air make the interior as considered as the address—creating a sanctuary for collectors, culture lovers, and anyone who wants Manhattan on display rather than just outside the window.
