The Waldorf Astoria has long stood as Manhattan’s most storied address, where legends were born and history was made. In 1955, Marilyn Monroe called the Waldorf Astoria Towers home during a transformative period in her life as she reinvented herself as both an actress and cultural icon. The hotel’s walls have witnessed the footsteps of presidents, world leaders, and entertainment royalty, from Cole Porter and Frank Sinatra to countless dignitaries who shaped the 20th century. Today, this legendary legacy continues through the Waldorf Astoria Residences New York, offering an unprecedented opportunity to own a piece of this historic Manhattan landmark for the first time ever.
Among the exclusive residential offerings stands Residence #2702, a remarkable four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home listed at $15,000,000. This exceptional residence distinguishes itself with a rare 1,303-square-foot private terrace overlooking Park Avenue and 49th Street, one of only three units in the entire building to feature such an extraordinary outdoor space. The expansive terrace creates an unparalleled setting for summer dining, sophisticated entertaining, and quiet moments of reflection high above the bustling streets of Midtown Manhattan.
Internationally acclaimed designer Jean-Louis Deniot has masterfully crafted each residence to blend modern comfort with timeless elegance. The grand marble entry foyer, adorned with brass inlays, sets an immediate tone of sophistication that flows throughout the home. Herringbone floors and ceiling coves create architectural interest, while oversized custom-paneled doors and spacious walk-in closets demonstrate attention to both form and function. Modern conveniences include a dedicated Concierge Closet and keyless entry system, seamlessly integrating contemporary technology with classic luxury.
