Description
The East 54 Candela
Address. Pedigree. Lifestyle.
Welcome to The East 54 Candela - a sprawling FOUR BEDROOM, FIVE BATH residence with a PRIVATE BALCONY, designed within one of Midtown East's rare ROSARIO CANDELA buildings. On a block that once pulsed with the glamour of El Morocco and jazz legends at Jimmy Weston's, this residence blends historic cultural energy with modern design sophistication. The East 54 Candela offers Rosario Candela's sense of proportion, reinterpreted through a MID-CENTURY lens.
This ONE-OF-A-KIND RESIDENCE was created from the seamless combination of three apartments, resulting in a home of EXTRAORDINARY SCALE AND FLEXIBILITY. Spanning multiple wings, it provides DISTINCT SPACES FOR ENTERTAINING, PRIVATE RETREAT, AND WORK-a rare commodity in Manhattan. The home is further elevated by TRIPLE EXPOSURES (East, South, West) and LANDMARK VIEWS, including the CHRYSLER BUILDING, CITIGROUP CENTER TOWER, and the LIPSTICK BUILDING, a daily reminder of Manhattan's iconic skyline.
At the heart of the residence is a generously sized kitchen and dining area that flows into an expansive living room and den, an arrangement ideal for both GRAND ENTERTAINING and intimate gatherings. A PRIVATE BALCONY-complete with CANOPY, and AUTOMATED IRRIGATION and LIGHTING-extends this lifestyle outdoors, creating a rare city oasis with room for lounging and cultivating greenery.
Three of the four bedrooms feature EN-SUITE BATHS, with a fifth full bathroom providing additional flexibility. The office-equipped with custom built-ins-can also serve as a bedroom or guest space.
Beneath its elegance, the home integrates MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE, ensuring effortless comfort and connectivity: Cat-6 wiring with a professional-grade Unifi network, 4K security cameras, meshed Wi-Fi, Insteon lighting automation, Somfy motorized blinds, and two central AC systems divided into eight zones.
Positioned on East 54th Street, The East 54 Candela balances MIDTOWN CONVENIENCE with timeless pedigree. Central Park, subway, fine dining, premier offices, and schools are all within easy reach.
With its ARCHITECTURAL PEDIGREE, PRIVATE OUTDOOR TERRACE, EXPANSIVE LAYOUT, and TECHNOLOGICAL INTEGRATION, this is the ONLY RESIDENCE OF ITS KIND within this Rosario Candela building. Opportunities of this caliber are rare. The East 54 Candela is more than a residence-it is a statement of address, pedigree, and lifestyle at the very center of Manhattan.
