Exploring the Luxurious Penthouse at 53 West 53rd Street


Erik Conover, in one of his captivating video tours, takes us on a journey to a world beyond our wildest dreams. Standing 76 floors above the lush greens of Central Park, this penthouse is more than just a place to live; it's a testament to luxury and opulence.


The Grand Entrance


Erik starts our tour by giving us a glimpse of the entrance to this penthouse. As he steps inside, the automatic doors swing open, and the hustle and bustle of the New York City streets are immediately silenced. It's a tranquil space, a stark contrast to the vibrant city life just outside the lobby.


The elevators, conveniently located off the main sitting area, are the gateway to this vertical sanctuary. The anticipation builds as Erik prepares to ascend to the 76th floor.



The 76th Floor


As Erik arrives on the 76th floor, he enters the private foyer, offering southern views framed perfectly by one World Trade Center. To the left, he unveils the Northern Exposure, a view that is nothing short of awe-inspiring.


The crowning feature of this penthouse is its 22-foot high ceilings in the great room. Such a double-height space is a rarity, and it's evident that this penthouse was designed for grand entertaining. The 180-degree views encompass New York City in all its splendor, from sunrises to the shimmering Atlantic Ocean on clear days.


The Great Room


Erik guides us through the great room, where the centerpiece is an 11-foot wide gas fireplace clad in limestone. It's impossible not to be drawn to this focal point, which is magnificently adorned by a massive Peter Lane art piece.


One unique feature that Erik points out is the ability to let fresh air in with just a push of a button, an unexpected delight on the 76th floor.


The Gallery Hallway


Erik then takes us down the Gallery Hallway, which connects various parts of this sprawling penthouse. The hallway boasts its own views to the east and leads us to a stylish powder room with a New York City favorite—pocket doors, a space-saving marvel.


The Dining Room and Kitchen


From the hallway, we step into the formal corner dining room with seating for ten. This corner room offers a view that is nothing short of mesmerizing. A large art piece dominates one wall, and the eastern views are captivating.


Adjoining this is the custom kitchen, where Erik highlights the polished statuary marble countertops with a waterfall edge. The backlit statuary marble backsplash complements the polished glass cabinetry with polished nickel detailing. The high ceilings and an abundance of storage make this kitchen a chef's dream.


The Southern Wing


Erik takes us into the guest bedroom, which boasts breathtaking Southern and Eastern views. The downtown skyline is visible, from the observation deck to the Hudson River. It's easy to imagine this as the perfect guest suite.


The ensuite bathroom is nothing short of exquisite, with travertine, a floating vanity, and LED lighting built into the wall.


The Lounge and Den


The penthouse features a dedicated lounge area with stunning Southern views. Erik points out a wet bar, a built-in mirror backsplash, and an office nook. He mentions a Juliet Balcony with a unique vantage point over the great room.


The den, with more captivating views of Central Park, offers a cozy space for relaxation. And, yes, an in-house elevator that adds a unique charm to this luxurious abode.


The Second Floor


Erik takes us to the second floor, where we find another guest bedroom, this time with views of lower Manhattan. It's referred to as the kid's room, and the design ensures that every morning, the little ones wake up to the most breathtaking views.


The ensuite bathroom is expansive, with travertine, a floating vanity, and thoughtfully designed storage.


Owner's Suite


The tour continues to the owner's suite, a vast bedroom boasting magnificent North-facing views of Central Park. This room is split in two, showcasing the design's grandeur.


The owner's bathroom is an absolute showstopper, with travertine, limestone, and polished marble. The walk-in steam shower, floating vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in closet exemplify luxury and functionality at its finest.


Nighttime Elegance


Erik concludes the tour with an invitation to explore the penthouse at night, a prospect that holds promises of a different kind of magic.
