From famous filming locations to Billionaire’s Row penthouses, there are plenty of coveted apartment buildings in New York City. The latest to hit the market? Giancarlo Giammetti’s 54th-floor penthouse in One Beacon Court, a spectacular residential tower just a stone’s throw from Central Park.

Proudly occupying the front corner of the building, Giametti’s apartment is complete with 40 floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views of New York’s skyline. From the dramatic gallery hallway, there’s masses of open-plan entertaining space to explore: a huge living room/library, a casual dining area, and a formal dining room, to be exact. There’s also an additional breakfast room, which sits beside the sleek kitchen.

Across the hall, you’ll find two guest bedroom suites – both featuring spacious walk-in wardrobes and lavish bathrooms – alongside a powder room and laundry room. In the cavernous principal suite, meanwhile, you can expect a custom-designed dressing room and a spa-like bathroom, plus more towering windows commanding magnificient views of Central Park. (Oh, and some rather impressive leopard print carpet. It is a fashion designer’s abode, after all.)

Of course, a home this luxurious is guaranteed to sit within an equally luxurious building, and One Beacon Court doesn’t disappoint: just check out the private entertainment suite, business lounge, and children’s playroom, or head to the state-of-the-art fitness centre on the 21st floor.
