In the wake of the sexual abuse allegations that disgraced his brother and former business partner Harvey Weinstein, Bob Weinstein seems eager to unload his real estate holdings. For the third time in the past nine months, the film producer has sold a major property without much financial gain. His last two properties, a townhouse on the Upper West Side and a mansion in Greenwich, saw no profit whatsoever. This time, his Central Park West duplex at the Beresford has been scooped up for $20.5 million, only slightly more than the $20 million he bought it for in 2009. The apartment, which 6sqft reports was first listed nearly a year ago for a much pricier $29.5 million, is now in the hands of restauranteur couple Marc and Pamela Schein Murphy.The 7,000-square-foot apartment’s most enviable features are perhaps the two large terraces, which offer unobstructed views of the city’s largest park. Also remarkable is the unit’s character, enhanced by the historic co-op’s original moldings, herringbone floors, casement windows, and wood-burning fireplaces, as well as sun exposure from all directions. Built in 1929, the building itself supplies full-time doormen, elevator operators, central laundry and a fitness club. The home also boasts a total of 14 rooms, including five bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, a formal dining room, and a full country kitchen, a rarity for any Manhattan address.Deborah Grubman, David M. Adler, and Paul Albano of The Corcoran Group held this listing.
