About This Property

Artful Modern Living with Empire State Building ViewsA home for those who appreciate architecture as an art form, Residence 21D-South brings together distinctive stonework, crisp white millwork, and the changing light of the Manhattan skyline. Set on the 21st floor of The Bryant, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect David Chipperfield, this approximately 1,067-square-foot corner one-bedroom pairs Empire State Building views with a beautifully composed setting for city living.Throughout the residence, white lacquer cabinetry reads as part of the architecture. Generous storage is concealed behind integr.ated wall cabinetry, and even the bedroom door blends discreetly into the surrounding surfaces. The building's signature marble terrazzo gives texture and definition to the window surrounds and floor borders, while oak herringbone floors add a natural warmth to the palette. The simplicity of the interior creates an inviting backdrop for art, thoughtfully chosen furniture, and personal collections.Twelve floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the home capture southern and eastern light, while 9-foot-6-inch ceilings give the corner living and dining room a generous sense of scale. Vitrocsa sliding glass doors and graceful Juliet balconies bring a touch of Parisian romance to the home's modern lines.The separate, windowed kitchen continues the palette of white and stone with Calacatta Gold marble countertops and backsplash, custom lacquer cabinetry, integra.ted Gaggenau appliances, and a fully vented range hood.Behind its concealed door, the south-facing bedroom enjoys Empire State Building views and custom closets. The en-suite bath features Statuarietto marble, terrazzo floors, a marble-topped vanity, and a glass-enclosed wet room with a rain shower and deep soaking tub. Motorized shades, central air conditioning, and an in-unit washer and dryer complete the home.The Bryant offers a private residential lobby attended 24 hours a day, a lobby lounge, and a fitness center with sauna. Residents also have access to the sixth-floor club lounge, with a fireplace, bar, and terrace overlooking Bryant Park.Here, the appeal of modern Manhattan living takes a tangible form: sunlight across stone and oak by day, the elegance of Juliet balconies, and the illuminated Empire State Building as the evening backdrop. Above the pace of Midtown, the home offers a sense of calm and privacy, with the city's energy close at hand.Just outside, Bryant Park becomes an extension of daily life. Warmer months bring outdoor films, drawing and art workshops, yoga, and open-air reading; winter brings the lights of Winter Village and its ice-skating rink. The New York Public Library's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building is across the street, Whole Foods Market is a short stroll away, and Fifth Avenue's shops and restaurants are close by. Grand Central and Times Square are both within wa.lking distance, with nearby stations offering access to the A/C/E, B/D/F/M, N/Q/R/W, 1/2/3, 4/5/6, 7, and S lines.An artful private retreat, with the possibilities of New York at your doorstep.
