    What's special

    You will simply love coming home to your new 1-bedroom apartment at fabulous Tower 53! Facing West, Apartment 16F's large, sound-isolating windows let in gorgeous afternoon sunlight and then become a veritable light show when Midtown Manhattan lights up after dark. Inside, the apartment is spacious (nearly 750 sq ft.) and gracious, with a recently updated open kitchen bedecked with a new dishwasher and sink with Hansgrohe fixtures, a new Blomberg refrigerator, vented range hood, and delightful pendant lighting. The bath, which has recently been renovated, is expansive in size and boasts Kohler and Grohe fixtures. The bedroom is large enough to comfortably accommodate a king-sized bed and has two large closets with handy built-ins, which, in addition to the unit's two additional closets, adds up to an impressive amount of storage space. Located only one block away from the venerable Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and just steps away from Central Park and Carnegie Hall. The B/D/E subway lines are just outside of the main entrance, the N/R/Q are two streets north and the 1 train is 3 streets south. Tower 53 is a stone's throw from four super markets, including Whole Foods and the shops at Columbus Circle's Time Warner Center. This white-glove condo building welcomes you and your guests with an enchantingly cozy lobby, 24-hour doormen, live-in super, and a stunning roof deck with Central Park views.
