For Sale: One fancy New York penthouse. Great amenities, centrally located, slight smell of sulfur and old man balls.
For those of you looking to get into the property market right now, we have an exciting proposition: media mogul Rupert Murdoch has just put his New York penthouse on the market, listing it for the entirely reasonable sum of AU $92 million.
We don’t mean to get ahead of ourselves here, but hear us out: if every man, woman and child in Australia chucks in just $4, then together, we could all own a minuscule piece of Uncle Rupert’s media empire.
The “super penthouse”, comprising the top three floors of a luxury tower overlooking Madison Square Park, has around 7600 square feet of interiors and terraces to enjoy.
Murdoch bought the place for around AU $73.5 million in 2014, and after the kind of reno job that would make Shaynna Blaze go “woooooow” and then spontaneously combust, is flipping it for AU $92 million.
Per the listing at Dolly Lenz Real Estate:
Perfectly positioned high above Madison Square Park and crowning the One Madison Condominium, this grand-scale Penthouse with nearly 7,600 square feet of interior and terraced luxury has been designed with the utmost elegance and aesthetic integrity. Featuring a double height Great Room with a sweeping staircase, an oversized gracious Master Suite, four additional bedrooms, and a private internal elevator, the home offers cinematic 360-degree Park, River and New York City skyline views. Luxurious amenities at One Madison include a full-time doorman and concierge along with the One Club, a private residents-only club offering high levels of personal service and boasting an indoor pool, glass-enclosed steam room, state-of-the-art fitness center, lounge, parlor room, screening room and dining room.
Now, granted, it would be a tight squeeze, but as long as nobody’s too squeamish about sharing bathrooms, we could chuck some bunk beds in there and each stay for an hour or two every other decade.
Here’s one of the living areas.
The view is pretty unbeatable, too. What do you reckon people, doable?
