$85 Million Penthouse For Sale Comes with Trip for Two to Outer Space & More
It’s getting more and more difficult to buy homes. More people than ever are living with their parents or in apartments because houses in desirable neighborhoods are jaw-droppingly expensive.
Every decade or so it seems that everyone is flocking to some hot new locale, increasing house costs and congesting the cities.
One of the most expensive places to live has to be New York. And one particular condo owner is trying to sell off their former living quarters.
That sounds fairly typical. There are probably hundreds, maybe thousands of people with nice digs who are ready to move on and are trying to find prospective buyers.
But most people don’t offer a 15,000 sq. foot duplex in Manhattan — and that’s only part of what sets this listing apart.
Apparently the duplex first went up on the market back in March. It’s only been two months, but the owner has thrown in a few more amenities to make an irresistible deal.
Of course, it’s not exactly a steal … not with a price tag of $85 million. But for those with distinguished tastes and not quite the pocketbook to consider this particular model, there are smaller units for a modest $20-$50 million nearby.
The duplex is decked out in luxury furnishings, and even comes staffed with a butler and personal chef. (That’s dangerous! Can you imagine having any food you want at your fingertips?)
The property boasts 13 bathrooms and 10 bedrooms, and it takes up an entire floor of its building. With the eye-watering price tag and majestic views of the Hudson River, it’s clearly intended for those in the billionaire club.
There are automobiles included as well. No sensible Hondas or trusty Toyotas here — only the best.
Rolls Royces. You read that correctly. Not one, but two: a convertible and a hard top.
The cars come with $2 million to put toward modifications, so the sky’s the limit with these bad boys. There’s a third car, too: A Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.
Just in case driving’s not really your thing, the deal also includes a $1 million yacht. You can travel by land or sea. Or …
You can go to outer space. In what seems like desperation, two tickets to outer space have been thrown in as well.
Just in case that’s not enough to tempt you, a summer at a $15 million Hamptons mansion should do the trick.
While it’s not mentioned who owns the property, they must be quite well off. Obviously the listing is meant to help someone of means plug into a new community quickly with all the included outlets and activities.
