Olympic Tower at 641 Fifth Ave. #42C

New video tour just added

This modern jewel box apartment has been newly renovated to museum standards and is now being offered for sale in pristine, never been lived in, condition. The apartment can be sold fully furnished.

Located on the 42nd floor of the famous Olympic Tower condominium, this exceptional residence is perched high above Midtown Manhattan with spectacular views of Central Park and the panoramic city skyline. For buyers unfamiliar with the building, see recent Curbed article “How Olympic Tower Begat Condomania.”

Following a full gut renovation, the layout has been transformed into a two bedroom, two bath apartment. The primary bedroom features an extensive walk in closet and spa-like en suite bathroom. Both the primary and secondary bathrooms feature shower toilets with heated washlet seats, floating vanities with integrated sinks, custom mirrors with linear LED lighting, showers clad in Japanese finger tiles, acid-etched glass shower doors, and Danish plumbing fixtures from Vola.

Clean lines and crisp detailing are found throughout the space, reflecting the highest standards of modern design and construction. Walls appear to be lit from within, thanks to illuminated niches and recessed light coves, which cast the rooms in a soft ambient glow. White glass doors from Rimadesio, shadow gaps, and flush outlets/switches complete this fine architectural specimen. The interior finishes are luxurious but purposefully restrained in order to affect a calm and contemplative environment. Honed granite floors are heated throughout the space to create a warm stone carpet underfoot, with custom steamed European beech woodwork and matte Corian surfaces rounding out this elegant material palette.

The Bulthaup kitchen conceals appliances by Miele, including washer and dryer within the apartment, all hidden behind custom cabinet panels. The kitchen sink is integrated into the Corian countertop with a flush drain detail. There is generous storage with multiple storage closets throughout the residence.

Olympic Tower is an internationally celebrated luxury condominium with a dramatic double-height lobby, renovated hallways, fitness room and concierge-style staff. The building is located on Fifth Avenue just steps from Central Park and directly across from Saint Patrick’s Cathedral.

This masterful work of interior architecture should be viewed in person to fully appreciate the extensive detailing and scope of design work. Please contact broker to schedule a private tour.
