100 E 53rd Street #5C

By Appointment Only.

Selene, located at 100 East 53rd Street, offers graciously scaled residences and sophisticated design by Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Norman Foster with interiors in collaboration with AD100 recipient William T. Georgis. The meticulously refined residences reflect a level of craftsmanship rarely evidenced in new development. Located between Lexington and Park Avenues, Selene is adjacent to the iconic Seagram Building and at the epicenter of luxury couture ateliers, midtown’s famed culinary destinations, and high-end residential towers.

Enter through a set of stately oak doors into Residence 5C, an extravagant 4,141 SF two primary bedrooms plus study, two-and-a-half bath, part of a limited Modern Loft Collection of gallery-like residences sited in the podium of the building. This unique home showcases architectural concrete finishes with generous space for art, while maximizing city views with floor to ceiling windows; a rare opportunity for a Downtown loft lifestyle in Midtown.

Both primary bedrooms feature an expansive dressing area and a luxurious spa-inspired en suite bathroom adorned with radiant heated concrete floors, a white oak vanity with Silver Striato travertine slab countertop and integrated sink, recessed medicine cabinets with LED lighting, glass-enclosed steam shower, freestanding custom Apaiser bathtub and water closet with Toto Neorest toilet, complemented with Aquabrass fixtures throughout.

The Foster + Partners-designed open chef’s kitchen features white oak cabinetry with integrated pulls and bronze detailing, cabinet-fronted Gaggenau stainless steel appliances, and brushed stainless steel knife edge countertop and backsplash with embedded ventilation and LED lighting – a true culinary delight that allows for seamless entertaining.

The exquisite powder rooms feature honed Agora Black Turkish marble countertops with integrated sinks and Aquabrass fittings in polished nickel.

Inspired by its neighboring Modernist masterpieces, the 63-story Selene is composed as a timeless contemporary landmark standing alongside the iconic Seagram Building and Lever House. Its signature glass facade enhances the residences with cascading natural light.

With a distinct service program focused on self-care and wellness and four floors of purposeful and impressively designed amenity salons, Selene sets itself apart. Every lifestyle offering is thoughtfully considered and composed to rejuvenate and relax. Public spaces designed by AD100 recipient William T. Georgis are appointed with a museum quality art collection, anchored by an installation in the Fireside Lobby by celebrated artist Rachel Feinstein. Amenity spaces span four floors and are naturally lit by floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The 60-foot-long garden sanctuary swimming pool is surrounded by an arbor of trees. The enfilade of wellness spaces and lounges including The Spa, Fitness and Yoga Salons, Billiards Lounge, Conference Room and Library are finished with slatted oak and smokey granite. The Michelin-starred Le Jardinier restaurant-helmed by Chef Alain Verzeroli and the first New York City restaurant designed by AD100 recipient Joseph Dirand-is just an elevator ride away.
