Owning the entire 56th floor in a five-star hotel tower is a dream come true. Residence 56 at the Waldorf Astoria Residences is exactly that: nearly 5,000 square feet on a single level. The entire floor is yours, with three bedrooms, three full baths, two half baths, and a private elevator lobby that opens directly into your home! This doesn’t feel like a condo at all. It feels like a spacious home in the sky, with extremely high ceilings and windows in every direction. You can see every part of the city from this vantage point, taking in the sunrise, the sunset, storms rolling in, and beautiful cloud formations floating by at eye level. It’s an inspirational setting.
Access sets the tone. Two fast elevators open into your private well-appointed elevator lobby and whisk you directly down to the fully secured garage, where four private parking spaces and additional storage wait underground. It is a level of arrival and privacy that a full-floor plan makes possible and that almost nothing else in Buckhead can replicate.
The interior was custom built out by Jim Weinberg, and the work shows in the millwork, the draperies, and the finishes in every room. The great room is oversized under 12-foot ceilings, and at the push of a button a giant screen and projector drop from the ceiling while the motorized shades and drapery draw quietly closed, turning the space into a private theater. The kitchen was built for cooking and for company, with custom cabinetry, quartzite counters, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf appliances, four wine coolers, a stone fireplace, and a walkout balcony off to one side. The primary suite occupies its own wing: a sitting area and fireplace in the bedroom, custom closets, a bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub and an oversized walk-in shower, and a balcony of its own.
The building, completed in 2008 and designed by Richard Stern, was conceived as a hotel and residential tower from the start, and the residences were laid out with the proportions of a house rather than the compromises of a typical high-rise.
Life here is fully serviced. You will have a 24-hour concierge, valet parking for you and your guests, a fitness center, an indoor lap pool, Spa 29, dining and entertaining rooms, package handling and dry cleaning, all in a building at the center of Buckhead’s business and retail district.
All of this is offered at an exceptional value. Once it’s gone, you may never see another one like it again!
