Set high on the 26th floor of the iconic Robert A.M. building on 15 Central Park West, this chic Manhattan residence reflects the designer’s simplicity and wabi-sabi aesthetics. 

The 2367 square foot residence features white oak flooring throughout, 11 foot soaring ceilings, and Juliette balconies looking out over Manhattan's famed green space. 

The Central Park views are best from the sumptuous master suite with a walk-in closet and 2 additional closets, complete with a Calcutta marble-lined bathroom featuring double vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and a soaking tub. 

The residence features custom mouldings, brass mouldings and pocket doors that create flow and harmony throughout the spaces. 

One of the coolest design features are the shelving units dividing the library and living room, which function as a secret swing door to connect the spaces. 

The 2 bedroom apartment includes a state-of-the-art Eat-in Chef’s kitchen, and condominium amenities include catering and in-room dining available to be delivered to your home. 

The building also offers a private dining room overlooking the garden, a screening room, gaming room, business centre with conference rooms, and a 14,000 square foot gym, with a spa and swimming pool.
