About This Property
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.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Opening directly from the primary suite, the 503 square feet of private outdoor space gives you a terrace that doesn't require crossing the main living rooms. The listing describes unobstructed, panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline from the residence, so the outdoor space sits within a view you'll want to share.
The home has 5,724 square feet across five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, arranged in two separate wings. That split suits a household that wants privacy between the primary suite and the guest rooms. The primary suite includes a sitting area and dressing space, and the living room has wood block floors and oversized windows with motorized shades. The architecture is credited to Thierry Despont and the interiors to Annabelle Selldorf, and the building's 1931 construction gives the rooms the defined proportions that pre-war buyers often value.
The kitchen has Gaggenau and Miele appliances, Calacatta marble countertops, a kitchen island, and an eat-in layout with a dedicated breakfast area. If you host often, the island and the eat-in space let cooking and conversation happen in the same room.
The building has 33 stories and 12 private residences, with an elevator and laundry in the building. The Ritz-Carlton services the listing describes include the La Prairie Spa and Health Club, valet parking, room service, and a live-in superintendent. Because the home takes up an entire floor, the elevator vestibule leads straight into the apartment.
Central Park is about 1 minute on foot, and the 57 St station for the M is about 3 minutes away. Morton Williams supermarket is about 4 minutes on foot, and MoMA is about 8 minutes.
