Curbed just published a list of the ten highest priced sales so far this year. The third highest price was for the penthouse at 141 Prince Street, which went for $25,000,000.
I remember when that penthouse was an actual farm, with animals and hay and barn doors and god knows what else. There was a meditation room in the empty water tower.
My notes from visiting it in 1990 say, “Charming & wonderful. I patted the ducks & chickens. But VERY special - it may take years to find a buyer. Also, 2000 of 8000 sq.ft are exterior. At $350/sq.ft including exterior, seems a bit steep.” Among its later owners were Rupert Murdoch and Elie Tahari.
Other sales ranged in price from $18,995,000 for a townhouse at 20 East 10th Street to $48,000,000 for a 6,000 square foot combination at the Plaza. Four of the sales were downtown, four on the upper east side and two on the upper west side.
