Is there such a thing as too much space? For financier\u00a0Stuart Leaf<\/strong>, the answer was\u00a0a resounding yes<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The hedge fund manager and his wife recently\u00a0put their massive\u00a011,000-square-foot\u00a0home\u2014the most expensive condo in Brooklyn\u2014on the market for $32 million, after\u00a0a\u00a0peculiar\u00a0incident convinced them it was time to sell.<\/span><\/p>\n

After months of deliberating, and after an earlier attempt at listing the apartment was taken down due to seller’s remorse, the final straw was laid when both Mr. Leaf and his wife were at home for several hours without realizing\u00a0the other was there.\u00a0The\u00a0incident revealed\u00a0just how unsuitable the sprawling space was for just two people.\u00a0\u201cIt’s just a little bit too spread out,” said Leaf.<\/span><\/p>\n

The condo\u2014located at\u00a0One Brooklyn Bridge Park<\/a>\u2014is the priciest\u00a0ever listed\u00a0in the borough and is a combination of at least nine\u00a0units spanning the 10th, 11th, and 12th floors of the building. In comparison, the most expensive apartment ever sold in the borough went for $7 million in 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at the massive apartment and its list of amenities, It’s easy to see how the\u00a0couple could lose each other in there. The apartment features six bedrooms, six bathrooms and two half baths, along with a gym, a rock-climbing wall, a screening room, and\u00a0a 3,500-bottle wine room. The apartment also takes advantage of DUMBO’s startling\u00a0views of the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and much of Lower Manhattan. Outside, the condo boasts a\u00a075-foot-long terrace complete with a barbecue, sound system, irrigated plant boxes and a dwarf peach tree.<\/span><\/p>\n

The honor of the most expensive apartment ever listed in New York City<\/a> as a whole goes to a 21,500-square foot Midtown triplex at 550 Madison Ave, which was listed at $150 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

The apartment was listed with Karen<\/strong> and Alan<\/strong> Heyman<\/strong> of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty.<\/span><\/p>\n
