Marv Albert, the sportscaster who is also known as the "voice of basketball" has reportedly listed his penthouse apartment in 150 Columbus Avenue in New York City for $16.5 million.
Albert has owned this place for more than a decade. He purchased it for $2.39 million in 1996, a year before he pleaded guilty to the infamous sex scandal and got fired from his post in NBC.
The penthouse apartment is a plush 3,533-square-foot unit, comprised of three bedrooms and three full and one half bathroom. While the home has several luxury amenities like an exercise room and two separate master baths, its best feature is its 1,500-square-foot terrace.
The floor plan shows the entry opening into a large foyer that leads into a open-plan living and dining area. There is an eat-in kitchen to the left of the dining area and a library to the right of the foyer. The large terrace is on the main floor.
The upper level is home to the master bedroom and the gym. Another guest bedroom completes the floor.
Interiors of the home feature hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and drywall ceilings.
"Prepare to be wowed upon entering this mint duplex Penthouse gem. The entertaining space on the first level is divine. Enjoy the sky sparkle with magical sunsets and the midtown/Columbus Circle skyline light up from the expansive living and dining room. Watch a movie from a projector screen that drops from the ceiling. Relax or entertain with Central Park and Hudson River views on the 1500 square foot terrace off of the living room," the listing describes adding that the home "has it all: amazing views, abundant light, expansive private outdoor space, privacy, and luxurious finishes."
Building amenities include a bike room and doorman and concierge services. The 30-story building covers a full block and is reportedly one of the most prominent buildings in the skyline with its mixed façade.
