The Grand Penthouse Residence at the Museum Tower

Commanding the entire 51st and 52nd floors above the Museum of Modern Art, this extraordinary duplex residence represents one of the most significant homes ever offered in Midtown Manhattan. Encompassing approximately 14,000 square feet of interior space and more than 2,000 square feet of private terraces, the residence captures breathtaking panoramic views in every direction-from Central Park and the Hudson River to the East River and the dazzling skyline of Midtown and Downtown.

Designed by the world-renowned architect César Pelli, the Museum Tower is a celebrated architectural landmark and one of New York's premier white-glove condominiums. Rising 52 stories directly above the Museum of Modern Art, its sophisticated glass facade of warm gray panels reflects the perfect union of art, culture, and modern design.

A Mansion in the Sky

Spanning the full north and south exposures, this palatial duplex is a masterpiece of proportion, volume, and light. A dramatic double-height foyer with an imposing circular staircase introduces the residence, leading to an enfilade of grand entertaining rooms measuring nearly 100 feet in length. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame mesmerizing views of the Manhattan skyline, Central Park, and beyond, while multiple setback terraces-totaling over 2,000 square feet-invite outdoor dining and entertaining above the city.

Throughout, custom architectural details and fine finishes reflect an uncompromising commitment to quality. The main entertaining floor includes a magnificent living room with wood-burning fireplace, library paneled in antique English pine, formal dining gallery, and corner study, each bathed in natural light and offering seamless access to the terraces. The chef's kitchen, equipped with a professional-grade Wolf range, dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, and extensive storage, opens to a breakfast area and service corridor with butler's pantry, staff suite, and laundry facilities.

Private Quarters Above

The upper level serves as a tranquil retreat. The primary suite encompasses a grand corner bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace, dual marble baths, three dressing rooms, a private gym, and an adjoining study. Multiple additional bedrooms-each with ensuite baths, abundant closets, and spectacular park or skyline views-offer luxurious comfort for family and guests. In total, the combined residence provides seven to eight bedrooms, ten baths, and a versatile layout that allows for both grand entertaining and private living.

A Tower of Art and Service

The Museum Tower offers an unparalleled standard of service with a staff of more than 50, including doormen, concierge, valets, and elevator attendants. Residents enjoy exclusive access to a state-of-the-art fitness center with sauna, steam, and meditation rooms; a screening and conference suite; temperature-controlled wine storage; private storage; and a landscaped roof terrace overlooking the MoMA gardens. Optional maid, laundry, and valet services are available.

Ideally situated in the heart of Midtown-steps from Central Park, Fifth Avenue, and the city's finest restaurants and cultural institutions-this grand duplex represents the pinnacle of modern Manhattan luxury.

Showings by appointment only.
