Around the world, The Plaza Hotel symbolizes classic New York City luxury. To stay there even for a night is a point of prestige, but to own a home there (ever since part of the hotel was converted into condos) is another level of lavishness. While units in the circa-1907 building have come onto the market together before, the rarest and swankiest offer yet is available now. Two neighboring penthouses, a triplex and a duplex, have listed for a whopping $70 million.
Side by side in all their splendor, the units total to over 10,000 square feet of living space to create a true mansion in the sky at the doorstep of Central Park. The 6,316-square-foot triplex with four bedrooms was outfitted to be the main residence, while the 3,974-square-foot duplex next door has been thought of as a glamorous guest house. While most people think of sprawling estates with lots of open land for multi-generational family compounds, these penthouses offer that in the heart of Manhattan. Both residences have their own elevators, so wealthy buyers of all ages can consider splurging on these exceptional properties.
Design-wise, the glass-clad penthouses are drenched in sunlight and display majestic Manhattan views. While some complain about hardly seeing trees in big cities, that won’t be the case for someone living here as you have a straight-on view of the length of Central Park through all the seasons. To enjoy the city vistas in the fresh air, there are 706 square feet of terraces in total.
Nikki Field and Mara Flash Blum of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the epic listing.
