Property Description
Rising above the Museum of Modern Art, Museum Tower remains one of Midtown’s most distinctive luxury residences. Apartment 30BC carries the unmistakable charm of a rare find: grand proportions, enviable light and views, refined details, and a natural, intuitive flow from room to room. It’s formal entry hall is wrapped in exquisite neoclassical murals by Italian craftsmen and geometric patterned hardwood floors; a powder room, coat closet, and mirrored bar are conveniently concealed within the walls. From the foyer, the home unfolds into an expansive corner living room of luminous exposures. Here, sleek urban architecture meets Turner-esque skies that shift from morning silver to evening rose. The living room’s scale and arrangement suggest the drama of Tolstoy and the romance of Flaubert. In the southeast corner, floor-to-ceiling windows create a true “wow” moment, framing the architectural corridor of 53rd Street and the MoMA sculpture garden below. Mirrored French doors lead to the “Gustavian” room, a library and office distinguished by arched doors, southern light, and a tranquil palette of soft blues. Outfitted with discreet storage closets and an ensuite bath, it offers a rare view of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in winter. North of the living room, an ample, soundproofed dining room holds the city in constant, shifting view. Candlelit dinners, lively gatherings, and celebrations all find a natural stage here. Custom overhead lighting enhances artwork and allows the mood to be tailored to the moment. The windowed eat-in kitchen pairs chic black lacquered cabinetry with ample storage and space for morning coffee beside the sunrise. The home’s private bedroom wing holds both the primary and secondary suites which are connected through a soundproofed and handsomely outfitted back hallway with a hidden door. Each is bathed in warm southern light and features its own dressing area, generous walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom. Museum Tower itself is a white-glove condominium and architectural masterpiece designed by César Pelli. Its modernist 1980s architecture remains both elegant and timeless, defined by its proportions, façade, and a seamless integration with MoMA’s campus. Conceived and developed alongside the museum, the building rises directly above the galleries and shares a private residents’ lobby with MoMA. The prestige of living atop one of the world’s foremost art institutions is unmatched in New York City. Premium hotel-level services include a 24-hour doorman, elevator attendant, resident manager, concierge, and access to the Philip Johnston Terrace overlooking MoMA’s gardens. Amenities span a state-of-the-art fitness center with pilates, sauna, steam, and meditation rooms, as well as a media, conference, and tech room. Valet and housekeeping services are available, along with private storage, temperature-controlled wine storage, and bicycle storage. A capital contribution equal to 2% of the purchase price is payable by the buyer.
