Description

Rising above the Museum of Modern Art, Penthouse BC at the celebrated Museum Tower offers over 9,200 square feet of exquisitely detailed living space wrapped in light and unparalleled skyline views. Envisioned by the renowned architect César Pelli, this modern masterpiece crowns one of Manhattan's most distinguished full-service condominiums, known for its warm gray glass facade and timeless, architectural sophistication.

Commanding the entire southern exposure of the 51st and 52nd floors, this grand duplex is a true mansion in the sky, showcasing breathtaking panoramic vistas of the city-stretching east, south, and west-with 1,152 square feet of wraparound terraces on the lower level. The interiors were meticulously custom-designed to blend modern refinement with classical detail, creating a residence of rare balance, scale, and serenity.

A Grand First Impression

A dramatic wrought-iron and bronze semi-circular staircase, inspired by an 18th-century Parisian hôtel particulier, serves as the centerpiece of the home's grand design. The seventy-five-foot gallery, paved in the same limestone selected by I.M. Pei for the Louvre Pyramid, leads to an impressive enfilade of three sun-filled reception rooms, all graced with sweeping skyline views.

The library, enveloped in antique English pine paneling sourced from Crowther of Syon Lodge, offers both gravitas and warmth, complete with a wood-burning fireplace. Adjacent, a corner study opens directly to the east terrace, while a luminous living room-also with a fireplace-captures sunset views and access to the west terrace. An elegant dining gallery and a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen flow seamlessly to the west-facing terrace, creating an ideal setting for sophisticated entertaining.

Completing this level are three powder rooms, including an extraordinary Egyptian-inspired bath, a butler's pantry, staff kitchen, laundry, and staff suite with ensuite bath.

Private Quarters Above

The upper level houses the primary suite, a secluded sanctuary featuring two luxurious primary baths, a gym, and abundant closet space. The primary bedroom and adjoining corner study each enjoy a wood-burning fireplace and captivating skyline views. Four additional bedrooms, each with ensuite baths and generous closets, complete the upper floor, all bathed in natural light and commanding stunning vistas.

A Tower of Culture and Service

As part of the prestigious MoMA complex, the Museum Tower redefines white-glove condominium living. Residents enjoy a 24-hour staff including doormen, concierge, valets, and elevator attendants, alongside an array of amenities: a fitness center with sauna, steam, and meditation rooms; a screening and conference suite; temperature-controlled wine storage; and a beautifully landscaped roof terrace overlooking MoMA's sculpture gardens. Housekeeping and laundry services are also available.

Corporate ownership, pets, and financing are permitted. A 2% transfer tax, payable by the purchaser, applies.

Penthouse BC may be acquired individually or in combination with Penthouse A, offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of New York's most extraordinary residences.
