The building itself is a modern icon, designed by architect César Pelli, and this 3,700 square-foot penthouse on the 54th floor of One Beacon Court at 151 East 58th Street is the picture of classically modern Manhattan glamor. Asking $17,500,000, the condo’s seller is Giancarlo Giammetti, co-founder, with Valentino Garavani, of fashion house Valentino. Interiors are the work of noted interior designer Jacques Grange; the dazzling cityscapes visible from every window are 100 percent New York City.
According to WSJ, Giammetti purchased the corner unit in 2010 for $18.5 million. The seemingly endless collection of graciously-sized rooms begins with a classic entry gallery. A 20-foot-by-30-foot corner living room is the best spot in the home to enjoy panoramic views. In all, there are 40 floor-to-ceiling windows, amounting to a glass-walled aerie from which to experience the city as day turns to night. The stylish renovation also added the latest in home tech, including lighting, motorized window shades, and a sound system.
The open great room also contains a dining room and library, adding up to 77 linear feet of entertaining space. A sleek Poggenpohl kitchen serves the space with top-of-the-line appliances. A double breakfast room assures that casual dining is seen to, as well (view included). A laundry room provides seamless convenience.
The primary bedroom suite has Central Park views from every window. A suitably fashionable custom dressing room is lined with closets and shelves–and some sexy leopard-patterned carpeting. In a second wing are two more bedrooms with ensuite baths.
One Beacon Court is known for its private circular motor court. In addition, amenities include a 21st-floor fitness center with skyline views, a children’s playroom, a private entertainment suite, a business lounge, a full-time doorman and concierge, and valet parking.
