Though Martha Stewart is famous for her homemaking, she probably did not expect her child to take her job title so literally; oldest daughter Alexis has just listed her West Village triplex, a years-long project combining multiple apartments, for a whopping $53 million. With a price tag that hefty, the six-bedroom at 165 Charles Street looks to join the list of Manhattan’s most expensive listings.
The building went up in 2005, winning the American Institute of Architects Housing Design Award that same year. Soon after, Stewart started buying up apartments, eventually amassing four and combining them into one. The main living and entertaining space occupies an entire floor, offering 360-degree views of the city via walls of glass; everything from the Hudson River (of which there are over 100 feet of frontage) to the World Trade Center and Statue of Liberty are in sight.
In total, the home tallies six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, three large powder rooms, and four terraces, all in 10,100-square-feet of living space. Sharing the main level are a living and dining space that opens onto two of those terraces, library, private guest suite, laundry center with three washer/dryers, and a kitchen complete with a walk-in refrigerator. A recreation/media room and three ensuite bedrooms are just downstairs.
A trip up the free-floating bronze and terrazzo staircase leads to the master suite, which alone boasts a dressing room, private office, and terrace. For more information on the triplex, Richard Ziegelasch of Brown Harris Stevens has the listing.
