Late\u00a0publishing magnate\u00a0William Randolph Hearst<\/b>\u00a0purchased The Clarendon\u2014a 12-story, 62-apartment building along Riverside Drive in Manhattan’s Upper West Side\u2014for $950,000 in 1913.<\/p>\n

In March 2014, just a portion of Hearst\u2019s personal 7,000-square-foot triplex penthouse (plus an additional 10,000 square feet of outdoor space), re-entered market for $38 million. That’s more than 25 times as much as the original asking price after<\/em> the recent $14 million reduction.<\/p>\n

The division of the print\u00a0mogul’s\u00a0massive penthouse into smaller units was the result of the Great Depression. However, “smaller” is all relative.<\/p>\n

The co-op listing still boasts\u00a0a whopping 17 rooms: seven bedrooms (including a magnificent master suite complete with its own terrace, full bath, dressing room, and walk-in closets); six-and-a-half baths;\u00a0a chef’s eat-in kitchen; and an oversized mansard living room soaked in natural light, featuring 17-foot ceilings, beautiful curved windows, and a south-facing terrace overlooking the Hudson.<\/p>\n
