Three Reasons To Buy Calvin Klein's Former New York Penthouse

Fashion designer Calvin Klein’s former penthouse in New York City has recently been put up for sale, at the listed price of $35 million. This penthouse is situated on the 19th and 20th floors of one of the grandest buildings in the Central Park West Historic District of NYC, named the 55 Central Park West. It has hardly been lived in, and has two sunny terraces, which are great for a mid-morning brunch.

• The New York penthouse is spread over a huge area of 5,000 square feet, and has 12 majestic rooms. 
• It is centrally located in one of the classiest areas of Manhattan, and boasts of awesome views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.
• The high rise residence has been featured in famous Hollywood movies like Superman and Ghostbusters.

Calvin Klein’s old duplex penthouse in New York has undergone extensive architectural and renovation work to convert it into a single unit. This work is believed to have cost a surprising five million dollars.

Fashion designer Calvin Klein had lived in this penthouse in the nineties, during which he had had the interior walls removed, and installed a hot tub on the sun-drenched roof area. Currently, this New York apartment is owned by Steve Gottlieb, an ex-record executive, who bought the penthouse from Klein for the price of $8.6 million dollars. While Gottlieb lives in the same building in an 18th floor flat, he uses the huge duplex penthouse on the 19th and 20th floors as an area for private parties.

As Steve Gottlieb does not really use this Manhattan duplex penthouse, it was put up for sale at a price of 35 million dollars, making it one of the most expensive homes to be listed in the New York area.
