Steel Magnate Leroy Schechter's 6,000-square-foot apartment in 15 Central Park West is back on the market. The original price was $65 million but the elite pad is now down to $55 million as reported by ny.curbed.com.
The elite apartment contains five bedrooms. It has six bathrooms. It is the largest apartment in the city's classiest building. It is located on the top floor, providing panoramic views of the nearby skyscrapers and the surrounding areas. The home is proud of its full vista sights of Central Park, Hudson River, and the Columbus Circle.
The elegant pad is contained in the entire 35th floor of the Tony Building, with direct views of the east, west and south of New York. The walls are painted in white and contains open spaces. The kitchen contains exquisite marble and a chandelier. The bathrooms are all painted white with decorative ornaments that makes the area more elegant. The dazzling size of this apartment is huge. It is not a wonder that steel magnate Schechter opted for a higher price of his exclusive home. The house was originally purchased as two separate units for $18.5 million in 2008. The two units were adjoined and renovated to meet Schechter's preference.
The room has had its share of celebrity dwellers as stated in a report by ny.curbed.com, "The home has been rented by the likes of Alex Rodriguez, and A-Rod's many prostitutes." Another known renter of this massive Central Park-facing pad is Robert de Niro as reported by nydailynews.com. The expensive pad was rented to Robert de Niro for the price of $125,000 per month.
Despite the elegance and style of this property, Schechter continues to struggle in unloading the house for years. It has dropped off its price many times. The property's present listing agent is Paula Del Nunzio of Brown Harris Stevens and she declined to comment on the new listing price as reported by nydailynews.com.
