721 Fifth Avenue #54J

Rarely does the opportunity arise to purchase a masterpiece of concept & design as is represented in Apt. 54J, a 1,923 sq. ft. two bedroom with two baths. Positioned on the premier corner in the upper reaches of Trump Tower, Apt. 54J has been reimagined in the grand and opulent style of the French Empire. Some of the features to be highlighted are:

-Gold leaf application on the foyer and gallery domed ceilings;
-Spectacular woodworking in the foyer, gallery and den/second bedroom which has been crafted of solid, old-growth mahogany, almost impossible to find today, and French polished with 45 coats of lacquer;
-A cast balustrade on all windows enhancing both the interior design and the views beyond;
-Spectacular castings and faux painting throughout the apartment, all with the magnificent backdrop of Central Park and the City.
-French patterned carpets, not produced in over 100 years, which have been recreated by a British carpet manufacturer;
-Heated floors in pearl blue granite in the primary bathroom, carved in a mosaic style with petite silver tile inlays.

One enters the circular foyer onto a white marble floor with a black marble frame, surrounded by rich mahogany cabinetry with wainscoting, hidden closets and two nooks for art or seating, lit overhead from a gold leaf domed ceiling. The cabinetry extends into the gallery over harlequin black and white marble floors and under an arched gold-leaf ceiling leading to the magnificent corner living room.

The expansive living room with three exposures is the perfect setting for luxurious living or entertaining. Corinthian columns of faux malachite and gilt grace the perimeter of the room and frame the oversized windows, accented by the balustrade. A black marble decorative fireplace beneath a magnificent gilt mirror is the centerpiece for one side of the room with a wall of built-in bookshelves, display shelves and concealed storage on the other. Panoramic views north to the full length of Central Park, west and south down Fifth Avenue to the City complete this breathtaking setting.

Off of the gallery is the second bedroom, currently configured as a den, which, as presented, compliments and expands the living and entertaining area. This space has been brilliantly designed to readily transform into a second bedroom if and when preferable. The corner room is paneled in the same rich mahogany as the gallery. The cabinetry has been engineered to conceal three large customized closets and doors, which can be closed for privacy. Also behind a beautiful mahogany door is an en-suite marble bathroom which completes this room. Views to the south and west include the historic Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church and the grand Peninsula Hotel.

Across the gallery is the spacious, L-shaped kitchen. Rich, warm wood cabinets providing plenty of storage space, high-end appliances and sage granite countertops, backsplashes and floors, hand-etched and accented with a gold inlay around the perimeter, carry forth the attention to detail and caliber of finish found throughout the apartment. The kitchen extends to the right leading to a laundry room with a stacked washer/dryer, a large stainless steel utility sink and plenty of additional cupboard space.

The exquisite primary bedroom suite faces north with extraordinary views of Central Park. Decorated in French blue, dark woods, and silver accents, the walls are covered in silk, custom crown moldings adorn the walls and ceiling, the plush carpet has been beautifully replicated, and the furniture, each a work of art, has been chosen or created to complement and enhance this extraordinary, serene setting. The sizable en-suite bathroom features a large window overlooking the Park, pearl blue granite and white marble shower, pearl blue granite countertops, wall accents and heated floors carved in a mosaic style with petite silver tile inlays. A private lavatory includes a sink, toilet and bidet.
