Discover a truly remarkable residence in the heart of Midtown Manhattan with this expansive two-bedroom, three-bathroom duplex, perfectly positioned across from the Museum of Modern Art and surrounded by iconic New York landmarks such as Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Radio City Music Hall. 25 West 54th Street is truly in the heart of the heart of this great City. In this home, you will enjoy the ultimate New York lifestyle with unrivaled access to the finest Fifth Avenue shopping (where you can enjoy everything from a sweet breakfast at Tiffany's to cozy cocktails at Saks), Michelin-starred restaurants, casual eateries, and all kinds of fine and performing arts offerings just moments from your door. Should you crave the outdoors, Central Park is only blocks away, ready to provide its tranquil greenery and countless recreational activities. This exceptional property boasts nearly 2,000 square feet of luxurious indoor and outdoor living space, making it a true urban oasis. Created in 2016 through the creative merging of two apartments (11E and 12F), this home is a testament to thoughtful design and elegance. On the lower level, you will find two lovely terraces. The smaller terrace overlooks the serene Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, while the expansive terrace-running a stunning 34 feet -offers beautiful views of the Midtown skyline to the south, west, and north. This amount of outdoor space on this level in this central location is a true rarity, providing intrinsic value to this already valuable home. Flooded with natural light, this duplex features masses of oversized windows and two sets of French doors that lead seamlessly to the terrace. The voluminous living and dining area, coupled with an open, windowed kitchen that may be sleekly closed off with its sliding glass doors, creates an inviting atmosphere for living and entertaining. The extraordinary amount of open space was created by removing walls from the original five rooms to create a home that speaks to modern sensibilities and needs. The home's flow is enhanced with the clever use of shoji doors, some crafted from glass and others from bamboo, which add to its aesthetic appeal while providing ample storage. One set opens to reveal a full washer and dryer area with storage space. Ascend the spiral staircase to discover a massive studio with a full bath on the building's penthouse level, currently utilized as an office. This versatile space invites every use you can imagine. You can easily keep it as an office or transform it into a magnificent primary suite with an ensuite bath, a very private and invitingly grand guest room, or even a sophisticated library or screening room. The possibilities are endless. In summary, this home offers the perfect combination of turn-key gracious living on the primary level and the option to create an upper floor that perfectly suits your needs.
