There are a few potential record-setters of the NYC real estate world still seeking occupants, but there's always room for another, no? Here now, PH17-18 at 785 Fifth Avenue, home of songwriter (and Marc Rich ex-wife) Denise Rich and newly on the market for $65 million. That price makes it the city's most expensive co-op. Rich is selling, she tells the Post, because "I don't have the need for this type of space"?even if she did once need to convert one of the terraces into a figure-skating rink for a party. Don't we all?
There is, unfortunately, no floorplan on the listing, but the brokerbabble gives some interesting deets about the layout and look of the place:
20 rooms, wrap-around terraces, plus a full rooftop terrace, seven bedrooms, 11 baths, three kitchens, all atop a white-glove Emery Roth cooperative overlooking Central Park. The upper level is home to the grand salon and the most amazing views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline to be found. The room has beautiful striated marble floors, 11' ceilings and custom mahogany doors. The chef's kitchen is adjacent to the dining room, which can accommodate seated dinners for 22?A library of custom-milled Fiddleback mahogany boasts one of the two fireplaces and a private terrace. The Master Suite is also on this floor with a gas fireplace, two full en-suite bathrooms, sitting room and closets?The lower level is comprised of six bedrooms, large media room, professional recording studio, billiard room, two kitchens and a complete gym overlooking Central Park. A private roof terrace on the top floor is the perfect spot for a grand gathering. We'll take it. Er, can anyone front us $65 million?
