The five-level “townhouse in the sky” is owned by native Midwestern ceramics mogul Edward Bazinet, and the full 10,911-square-foot spread is still available for $24.5 million. But let’s talk about the divide-and-conquer listing that we spied on Sotheby’s:
The four-story, three-bedroom unit measures 7,580 square feet and features double-height space punctuated by huge windows, two terraces and a private roof garden. The kitchen has a breakfast room and woodburning fireplace, while the full-floor master suite encompasses another fireplace, marble bathroom, Jacuzzi and large sunset terrace. The floors are connected by a sculptural stainless steel and glass staircase, dumbwaiter and private elevator. There’s 1,000-bottle wine storage, a rooftop home gym and basement private storage for the stylish sybarite.
The listing notes, “the 6th Floor is not a part of this offering, although it is currently a contiguous part of the penthouse. Owner will make necessary changes to separate the 2 properties, legally and physically.”
Now, let the wild photographic rumpus start! Wait for the bathroom shot. Just wait for it.
