About this home

Deliberately conceived as a Terrace Level "penthouse" and distinguished as being uniquely one of over 70 different floor plans, MERIDIAN 501 presents a rarefied opportunity to immediately enjoy a just-completed dramatic remodel that offers a totally unexpected urban oasis. Impeccably crafted, sleek, modern bespoke interiors are both timeless and thoughtfully designed. Gleaming marble floors, polished cabinetry, top-of-the-line fixtures and appliances, abundant storage, high ceilings, and wraparound luminous interiors with walls of glass and sliding doors complement the inviting, spacious living and entertaining areas. Located on the 5th floor, offering privacy and the luxury of space are the primary suite and second bedroom en suite. For the ultimate in convenience, there is the clever kitchenette with a sink, dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and generous space for the cappuccino maker to start your day or nightcap refreshments as you wish. Unexpected are the luminous interiors that seamlessly flow to the outdoors. Each bedroom hosts an expansive open terrace overlooking the well-maintained European-styled formal gardens and the host of other inviting resort-style amenities just steps away on the 2/3-acre outdoor plaza. Gracious entertaining and design options abound on the 4th floor Plaza level with two entrances, walls for art and personal treasures, a grand-scaled kitchen for the serious gourmet chef, a flexible separate dining/library/den space, and more. The coveted wraparound courtyard offers a continuous alfresco living experience to make your own.
