Description

Welcome to this absolutely extraordinary high floor, corner unit at the highly renowned Museum Tower designed by Cesar Pelli. This expansive 2,248+/- square foot two bedroom, convertible three bedroom, 2.5 bathroom boats the most epic light from the East and exceptional northern views facing Central Park. Developers don’t make them like this anymore with the massive living space and oversized bedrooms and entry foyer.

The winged bedrooms are gigantic with oversized closets, tall ceilings and light. While the apartment has not been updated, 33A has been enjoyed as a pied a terre for three decades by the same owner, so the apartment is very much in mint condition. The bathrooms are also outfitted in full marble and classically stunning. Museum Tower is a full service 24 hour doorman building with 24 hour concierge, laundry, optional housekeeping, valet service and also has a live in Building Manager.

There is also a dual level gym, media room, wine tasting room, and a gorgeous roof terrace covered with plants and greenery that overlooks the iconic MOMA. Please note the taxes listed are reflective of secondary ownership, so for primary ownership the taxes would be 17% lower and a washer/dryer can be installed. There is a 2% capital contribution paid by the buyer. Please reach out to schedule a tour.
