Description

Offered as an impeccably furnished rental, this loft-like one bedroom apartment is bathed in light with endless views from the 48th floor of the iconic Olympic Tower. Replete with two full bathrooms and abundant storage concealed throughout, 48B offers the discerning dweller equal parts design and function. Curated of natural textiles of sand colored linen and woods, this home imparts a Zen-like quality each time entered.

Complete with the finest appliances; Gaggenau, Wolf and Miele, plus everything needed to host intimate gatherings while basking in the mesmerizing view of Central Park and beyond. Originally conceived by Aristotle Onasis in 1974, Olympic Tower is widely considered one of the finest full-service condominium buildings in New York City and has been home to countless luminaries from all corners of the globe. The building’s 40 person staff is remarkable for its attentiveness and discretion and includes a 24-hour multi-lingual doorman, concierge and elevator attendant. Other building features include a fully equipped gym with park views, a bicycle storage room and valet parking.

The building’s location on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 51st Street is perhaps its greatest attribute. Positioned directly across from St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Rockefeller Center, it is at the epicenter of New York City’s retail, restaurant and cultural worlds. Available immediately for a 1-year term. Sorry, no pets. *Represents current apartment configuration, which may not conform to official legal documentation.
