Description

Welcome to Residence 15E, a masterfully renovated, expansive turn-key one-bedroom condominium that offers exceptional scale, refined proportions, and a flexible layout designed for sophisticated living. This spacious apartment offers a flexible layout, where the vast living room can be effortlessly converted to create a second bedroom or private home office. Set within the iconic Museum Tower, one of New York City’s most distinguished full-service condominiums, this residence exudes quiet tasteful and modern elegance. Immediately adjacent to the Museum of Modern Art, the building lives up to its name, blending timeless architectural design with contemporary luxury. Upon entering the apartment, a gracious foyer sets a tone of quiet distinction, leading into a magnificent square-shaped living room nearly 22 by 19 feet, with soaring ceilings and dramatic proportions. The living space is framed by a wall of windows spanning 20 feet, half of which are floor-to-ceiling, bathing the interior in natural light and framing captivating views of Midtown’s architectural skyline. The stunning walnut herringbone flooring throughout further enhances the home’s mid-century modern character. The windowed galley kitchen is both sleek and functional, featuring Carrara marble countertops, terracotta tile flooring, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a Liebherr refrigerator, wall-mounted oven, and separate cooktop. The oversized primary suite is a serene retreat, privately located down a gallery-style hallway. It comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed and offers abundant storage, including a walk-in closet and a secondary wardrobe. The en-suite bathroom is appointed with travertine stone finishes, a floating vanity, chrome fixtures, a deep soaking tub, offering a spa-like experience in the comfort of home. Additional highlights include a stylish powder room clad in travertine, oversized closets throughout, and the potential to install an in-unit washer/dryer. The apartment is pet-friendly, and Museum Tower permits washer/dryers within units. Building amenities are second to none: a state-of-the-art fitness center with sauna, media and entertaining room, a wine-tasting lounge, and a beautifully landscaped roof terrace overlooking MoMA’s renowned sculpture garden. Additional services include valet, laundry, and optional housekeeping. A live-in resident manager ensures personalized attention at every level. Located in the vibrant heart of Midtown, Museum Tower places you mere steps from Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall, and New York’s premier shopping, dining, and cultural destinations.
