20 West 53rd Street, PH

Rarely do you get an opportunity like this one! The FIRST resale of this spectacular and ONLY duplex Penthouse atop the Baccarat Hotel & Residences. When you step off the elevator on the 48th floor, you are met with your own private hallway, replete with a Baccarat chandelier. As you enter this spectacular 5 bedroom, 5 bath, plus powder room residence, the double entry doors welcome you to an elegant gallery, where the piece de resistance of the room is a chic glass and marble floating staircase. With almost 7,400 square feet of interior space and soaring 14-foot ceilings, the abounding walls of glass beckon you forward to admire 360-degree, panoramic views - north over Central Park to the George Washington Bridge and beyond, and south past the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings to the World Trade Center. When entertaining guests in this lavish space, you can seamlessly transition them outside, onto the stunning 550 square-foot loggia where one can float over NYC while dining al fresco.

Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Tony Ingrao, the interior offers the ultimate in luxury and quality, including solid six-inch wide ebony stained white oak floors and contemporary detail throughout. A corner living room, formal dining room and eat-in kitchen provide for effortless entertaining on a grand scale.

The incredible Siematic, eat-in windowed kitchen, where the most discerning chef would be amazed at the perfect workmanship, as well as the abundance of Ebonized walnut and nickel frame cabinetry, amalgamates with built-in Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, and wine cooler. This kitchen provides expansive space for any culinary endeavor. The spacious center island and marble counter-tops boast a lavish finish. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a butler's pantry, plus full-size washing machine and dryer.

Four bedrooms with en-suite baths, plus a master bedroom suite will leave you in awe. An apartment within itself, the jaw-dropping master bedroom space offers 1,150 square feet, highlighted by a separate seating area, double dressing rooms and a magnificent spa-like white-honed marble bathroom of almost 400 square feet, which includes two separate stall showers, as well as a double vanity. Unwind from a long day in the sumptuous, freestanding soaking tub, topped off with gorgeous, picturesque views from floor-to-ceiling windows.

The bathrooms are fully clad in Siberian polished marble and the powder room includes frosted, mirrored glass panel walls, Lido white honed marble floors, and custom vanity with Lucite base and hammered nickel sink.
