( 4UMF NEWS ) Country’s Most Expensive Apartment Up For Sale:
The most-expensive apartment in the country — a triplex, wrap-around penthouse on W. 56th Street — can now be yours for just $100 million.
Raphael De Niro, the son of actor Robert De Niro, has the exclusive listing on the 73rd through 76th floor aerie atop CitySpire — the deluxe apartment in the sky owned by Long Island real estate developer Steven Klar.
The 8,000-square-foot octagon-shaped unit is a “one-of-a-kind gem [that] ranks amongst the most elite homes in America,” according to the Prudential Douglas Elliman listing.
The apartment isn’t for everyone — and not because of the nine-figure price tag.
Architect Juan Pablo Moyneux took the original raw space and created an aristocratic interior with inlaid marble floors, stately columns, gold draperies and candeliers.
Other features include:
– a private, three-story elevator.
– A wrap-around terrace on all three floors that offers 360-degree views of the city. It’s believed to be the highest outdoor space in any city residence.
– A dining room that can seat 20.
– A silver closet.
– A wine room that can hold more than 1,000 bottles.
Oh, and there’s even a separate apartment one floor below — you know, for the help.
Klar bought the property in 1993 for $4.5 million and then spent about as much to renovate it to his tastes. He made his riches building thousands of homes on Long Island.
