Gracious proportions and ceilings ranging up to approximately 10'9" set the awe-inspiring stage for world-renowned designer, Thierry Despont, to craft singular spaces in the sky with many custom elements typically reserved for primarily commissioned homes. The rich yet soft palette of museum-quality finishes imbues each space with boldness and elegance. Beyond the formal entry gallery, the generous living room is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows that artfully frame south-facing views. An adjacent pair of dramatic pocket doors opens to reveal the custom kitchen by Thierry Despont for Molteni, where polished statuary marble countertops and a back-lit statuary marble backsplash 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 primary suite offers south- and west-facing views; multiple closets including one walk-in; and spa-like ensuite bathroom that blends tradition and originality. 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 vanities with custom Thierry Despont-designed polished nickel automated mirrors, a cast iron Lefroy Brooks soaking tub, freestanding shower, radiant heated floors, and private water closet. Two additional bedrooms-one facing north and the other south-each offer an en suite bathroom clad in high-honed Verona limestone with polished nickel Dornbracht fixtures. Completing the residence is 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 designed 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 visionary design by Pritzker Prize-winner Jean Nouvel, 53 West 53 is a sculptural icon, rising 1,050 feet in the heart of Manhattan against the cinematic backdrop of Central Park and the surrounding cityscape. 53 West 53 is designed to be responsive to residents in every way, with over 30,000 square feet of amenities and five-star hotel-level service that bring an unprecedented level of access and refinement to the residential experience. The building also features an on-premise partner restaurant, 53, by Altamarea Group, offering exclusive 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.
