One of 15 Central Park West's exorbitant penthouses found a buyer

One of New York City’s most expensive homes for sale has managed to snag a buyer. According to The Real Deal, a penthouse in Robert A.M. Stern’s uberexclusive 15 Central Park West, asking an astonishing $59 million, has reportedly sold to a wealthy Chinese buyer.

The sprawling 40th-floor condo within the Limestone Jesus didn’t have to wait too long for its next owner. The 5,300-square-foot home, belonging to former Barclay’s CEO Bob Diamond, first appeared on the market last December. While the final sale price won’t likely hit public records for a while, TRD’s sources say it’ll likely sell for about $50 million.

The apartment itself has just four bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a large eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, a private “entry gallery,” and a library with its own powder room and bar. The apartment doesn’t come with any outdoor space, but there are unobstructed Central Park views.

Several of the building’s other high-profile residents are looking to part ways with their absurdly expensive homes. Sting and wife Trudie Styler recently listed their stylish 16th and 17th floor duplex for $56 million, while financier and philanthropist Jeffrey C. Walker looks to unload his expansive four-bedroom apartment for $38 million.
