Right now, you can rent the same alluring Upper Carnegie Hill apartment that ten-time NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist Carmelo Anthony once did while he was a Knicks player. Though they got knocked out this weekend, the New York Knicks were just in the playoffs for the first time since 2001. So, this $43,000/month property isn’t just about luxury, it’s about a legacy if you’re a major Knicks fan. A Manhattan condo with a Knicks past and views of Central Park? Talk about winning.
The former star forward, who played for the team from 2011 to 2017, rented the spread in 2015, per the Robb Report. An elegant escape from the excitement and high energy of Madison Square Garden, the Fifth Avenue building sits on 102nd Street, just across from Central Park. While the building is a pre-war condo, the 15th-floor unit was renovated in 2012 and has all the bells and whistles for suave modern living.
Drawing you in with its bright, 4,022-square-feet floor plan, the home totals five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one half-bath. Timelessly chic design details include coffered ceilings, oak flooring, and a gorgeously updated kitchen with custom cabinetry. With plenty of space to lounge or entertain, it’s easy to imagine Anthony invited his teammates over back when he called it home. A private elevator landing adds extra privacy and security (as to be expected at a place a famous athlete would stay).
For those who can afford the refined, All-Star-approved NYC rental, Ruthie & Ethan Assouline of The Assouline Team at Douglas Elliman hold the listing.
