Rebecca Robertson Model Residence at 53 West 53

Residence 65 is a 6,448 square foot, 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home located on the 65th floor of 53 West 53 and priced at $46,680,000. 53 West 53 is a gracefully tapered, 1,050-foot-high residential condominium tower designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel with interior architecture by Thierry Despont. The building is located above MoMA and has three new Museum of Modern Art gallery levels incorporated into its base.

Encompassing the entirety of the 65th floor, one of the home’s most stunning features is its breathtaking 360-degree views of Central Park, the Hudson River, the East River and the downtown Manhattan skyline. This massive home offers private, direct high-speed elevator access into the residence. Stepping off the elevator, residents are greeted with a gracious private entry hall featuring oversized walnut entry doors with custom hardware by E.R. Butler & Co. The expansive entertaining area and living room are enveloped in floor-to-ceiling windows that provide panoramic views of Central Park and the New York skyline. Adjacent to the living room is a dining area, as well as a separate wing of the home that includes a large scale eat-in kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry by Molteni, statuary marble countertops and backlit backsplash, and a complete suite of appliances by Miele and Sub-Zero. The living room, dining area and eat-in kitchen all have multiple exposures and share stunning views of Central Park.

The home is anchored by a corner primary bedroom suite that features a walk-in closet and oversized dressing room. Additionally, the residence includes three generous secondary bedrooms. The spacious primary bath is a private, spa-like sanctuary, perfect for relaxing and features heated Verona limestone slab floors and baseboard and Noir St. Laurent marble and Peruvian golden travertine feature walls. The space includes a Lefroy Brooks cast iron soaking tub, custom polished nickel automated mirror and a steam shower. The home also includes 3.5 additional bathrooms.

Rebecca Robertson's approach to the design of the home was to create a feeling of refined elegance and privacy. She juxtaposed primitive and organic pieces and textures against sleek modern designs to make the home feel curated, not just decorated. She also features artworks throughout that pay homage to the art in MoMA's permanent collection.
