Description

Perched high above the city on the 41st floor, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom corner residence boasts 1,638 square feet of modern elegance, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Lord Norman Foster. The triple exposure—north, east, and west—provides sweeping views of Manhattan, enhanced by the floor-to-ceiling angled windows that not only capture abundant natural light but also frame iconic city landmarks. Upon entering, you’re welcomed into a massive 31-foot-long corner Great Room, perfect for hosting gatherings of up to 50 guests. Bathed in natural light from expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, this open and airy space offers unobstructed views, including glimpses of Central Park and the East River.

The seamless flow between the living and dining areas makes it ideal for entertaining, while the panoramic cityscape serves as an impressive backdrop. Seamlessly connected is chef’s kitchen that exemplifies both function and style with custom Foster + Partners cabinetry, wire brush oak millwork, premium Gaggenau appliances, and Italian Carrara marble countertops. The thoughtfully designed split-bedroom layout provides ultimate privacy for the expansive primary suite. Custom closets lead to the spa-like 5 fixture en-suite bath, featuring a steam shower, radiant heated floors and Silver Striato travertine finishes The secondary bedroom, situated on the opposite side of the unit, features a wall of custom closets, stunning corner views and its own en-suite bathroom featuring an Apaiser countertop and a deep soaking tub.

This flexible layout provides an ideal separation of spaces, perfect for guests, a home office, or family members. The home is further enhanced by wide-plank white oak flooring, motorized window shades, and sleek ceiling track lighting, ensuring both comfort and modern sophistication throughout. Designed by the acclaimed Norman Foster, Selene’s architectural brilliance shines through, with signature floor-to-ceiling windows that offer luminous interiors and breathtaking views of New York’s iconic landmarks, including the Seagram Building and Lever House. Residents of Selene enjoy unparalleled amenities, including a 60-foot garden sanctuary pool, a spa, state-of-the-art fitness and yoga salons, a billiards lounge, conference room, and an elegant library. For fine dining, the Michelin-starred Le Jardinier, designed by AD100 recipient Joseph Dirand, is merely an elevator ride away. Public spaces, designed by the esteemed William T. Georgis, boast museum-quality art installations, including a captivating piece by celebrated artist Rachel Feinstein in the Fireside Lobby. Perfectly located just off Park Avenue on 53rd Street, this prestigious address places you as it is moments away from work in Midtown, Grand Central and the best Manhattan has to offer. Experience fine dining at Le Jardinier, The Grill, or Avra Madison, and enjoy cocktails at The Polo Bar or The Modern’s bar.

Luxury shopping on Fifth Avenue, exhibits at MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Broadway and Central Park are all just moments away, making this location and quality of life truly unbeatable.
