Description

Commanding unobstructed, panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline, Residence 29 at 50 Central Park South is a rare five-bedroom home occupying an entire floor of the Ritz-Carlton. One of just twelve private residences in the building, it offers 5,724 square feet of interior living space and 503 square feet of private outdoor space.

A remarkable collaboration between internationally renowned architect Annabelle Selldorf and acclaimed designer Thierry Despont, the home reflects the vision of two of the most influential names in architecture and design. Celebrated for his work on the Ritz Paris and 220 Central Park South, Despont's distinguished design legacy is complemented by Selldorf's timeless architectural aesthetic. Originally designed by Emery Roth in 1930 as the Hotel St. Moritz, the landmark building was reimagined as the Ritz-Carlton in 2002, establishing one of Manhattan's most prestigious residential addresses.

A private elevator vestibule leads to an elegant entry gallery, ideally suited for displaying an art collection, before opening to the expansive living and entertaining spaces. Beautiful wood block floors add warmth and character to the main living room, where oversized windows with motorized shades showcase Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. An adjoining formal dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining, while the beautifully appointed kitchen features sleek cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops, Gaggenau and Miele appliances, and a dedicated breakfast area. Two terraces overlooking Central Park offer coveted outdoor living and dining spaces.

Thoughtfully conceived for privacy and functionality, the home features an exceptional floor plan with five bedrooms arranged across two separate wings. The expansive primary suite offers a serene retreat, complete with a sitting area, dressing space, and direct access to a terrace with breathtaking views. Additional bedrooms provide generously proportioned accommodations for family and guests, with the versatility to create an office or other personalized spaces.

Perfectly positioned along Central Park South, Residence 29 places the very best of Manhattan at its doorstep, from the iconic landscapes of Central Park to the luxury boutiques of Fifth Avenue, world-class dining, cultural institutions, and renowned entertainment destinations. Residents enjoy access to the world-class services and amenities of the Ritz-Carlton, including the La Prairie Spa and Health Club, Contour Bar and Lounge, room service dining, valet parking, and a live-in superintendent.
