Sanford “Sandy” Weill, chief executive (and former chairman) of Citigroup, and wife Joan have put their magnificent NYC penthouse on the market. The mansion-esque residence has much to offer, but is it worth $88 mil?<\/p>\n
The Stats: The one-level penthouse is located in NYC\u2019s 15 Central Park West. Spanning 6,744 square feet, with four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two half baths, it is listed for $88,000,000.<\/p>\n
The History: The Weills purchased the penthouse in August of 2007, spending between $43,687,750 and $42,405,000. For a private home in Manhattan, this sale went down as one of the largest amounts paid per square foot. That\u2019s not counting maintenance, which rings in at $13,824 a month.<\/p>\n
The Details: 10 rooms, 19 French doors and multiple terraces featuring views of the park and the city are just a few of the palatial apartment\u2019s charming\u2014and extravagant\u2014characteristics. For lounging, the over 825-foot living room with fireplace is ideal. For reading, the Brazilian rosewood-paneled library is just right. For everything else there is the formal dining room, a den featuring a wet bar and a vast eat-in kitchen. Two guest rooms accommodate visitors comfortably.<\/p>\n
The Design: The couple hired well-known architect Robert A.M. Stern to design the space. Then they brought in Mica Ertegun of MAC II to do interior designing.<\/p>\n
The Money: It has been reported that the couple intends on donating the proceeds from the sale to charities. Specifics remain unknown.<\/p>\n
The Neighbors: Also residing at 15 Central Park West are Denzel Washington, Sting and Goldman Sachs CEO and chairman Lloyd Blankfein.<\/p>\n
Where will the Weills relocate to if and when their perfect penthouse sells? Perhaps they will move to one of their other homes, like their $31 million mansion in Sonoma, or majorly downsize and live quietly in their other NYC apartment, this one with just one-bedroom.<\/p>\n
