This duplex apartment offers the seemingly impossible: more than 3,000 square feet of private outdoor space in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Located on the 18th and 19th floors of the elegant Baccarat Hotel & Residences on West 53rd Street, this mansion-in-the-sky, asking $27,950,000, has been gut renovated with top-of-the-line everything and is wrapped by a marble-capped terrace that is surrounded by iconic cityscape. Residents have access to the five-star hotel’s amenities, including 24-hour room service, a heated pool, a fitness center, and the notable La Mer spa.
Renovated by Andrea D’Alessio, the corner home is a combination of two apartments for a total of 4,200 square feet, making it one of the largest residences in the building. The lower level is ready for all things entertainment, with sprawling living and dining spaces surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that face the showpiece terrace.
The open floor plan living room features a built-in wood and marble entertainment center and a stunning fireplace with doors that open onto the terrace on either side.
The eat-in kitchen boasts custom wood cabinets and marble-clad backsplash, countertops, and a center island. Next to the kitchen is a spacious dining area that also includes a wet bar with two wine fridges. From here, the palatial terrace is accessible, making al fresco dining a breeze.
The sun-drenched office is an ideal work-from-home set-up, with direct terrace access and views looking west and south.
The amazing outdoor space is larger than the average single-family home and features unique 360-degree views of its iconic Midtown neighbors. The terrace offers multiple lounging areas and has “enough room for a pickleball court,” according to the listing.
On the upper level, there are three-bedroom suites, all with an abundance of closet space and city views. The corner primary bedroom even has a wet bar with a wine fridge.
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the Baccarat Hotel & Residences rises 50 stories and contains a public library on the ground floor, a 9-story hotel with 114 rooms within its podium, and 60 condos on floors 18 to 49. The tower is also home to the fine dining restaurant Grand Salon, which provides room service to residents. Located across the street from the Museum of Modern Art and just blocks from Central Park, the Baccarat is surrounded by the best of New York City.
