Catching up on some news from last week that happened while I was out of town for Thanksgiving?
Madonna ditched the UWS for the UES in 2009, but kept her apartment at The Harperly, an exclusive co-op located at 41 Central Park West (at 64th).
The Material Girl is now officially cutting ties with the building, recently listing her 6,000 square foot duplex for a cool $23.5 million.
Real Estalker (via CurbedNY) has the details. The 6 BR/8 BA apartment features 110 feet of Central Park frontage.
In 2007, Architectural Digest profiled the apartment.
Here?s the listing detail from Brown Harris Stevens:
15 into 12 rooms: A masterful home, the most expansive at Harperley Hall, is now being offered for sale for the first time in the history of the distinguished 1907 cooperative at the corner of 64th Street and Central Park West.
This is a magnificent duplex of over 6,000 square feet with nearly 110 feet of frontage onto Central Park. Beautifully positioned on the 5th and 6th floors, it is imbued with the serenity of the park as well as the splendor of the Fifth Avenue and Central Park South skylines as its backdrop.
Meticulously designed to accord both privacy and expansive entertaining in equal measure, every aspect of this home is impeccable. Particular respect has been paid to preserving the integrity of the building?s aesthetic. The Great rooms on both levels are set off by wide Juliet balconies with French doors opening onto the Park, large wood burning fireplaces, and all the distinctive features associated with this historical cooperative. The layout offers four separate bedroom wings, six to seven bedrooms including a stunning master bedroom suite, endless closet space, eight sumptuous baths, five wood-burning fireplaces, an elegant formal dining room on the park, an exquisitely appointed Chef?s eat-in- kitchen with windowed library/dining room. Central air-conditioning, state of the art sound and humidifier system, 10?3 ceilings and gleaming oak floors throughout. From the moment of entry, one recognizes that this is a romantic and significant home and truly a rare opportunity in one of Manhattan?s most beloved and distinctive buildings.
Harperley Hall, designed by architect Henry Wilhelm Wilkenson, is a striking example of Neo-Italian Renaissance informed with the aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts movement, a style rarely seen in Manhattan . The building is notable for its broad central courtyard entrance with manned gate house, sidewalk landscaping, balconies and terra-cotta detailing. Shareholder amenities include a 20 car garage, gym, bike, storage, laundry rooms and, arguably, one of the most gorgeous roof gardens in the city.
In addition to the $23.5 million asking price, monthly maintenance is $11,774 ($141,288/year).
Last year, a judge OKed a lawsuit by one of Madonna?s former neighbors at Harperly Hall alleging that the singer and her guests created a nuisance by dancing 90 minutes to three hours a day to ?high-decibel amplified music.?
In 2010, retired FDNY firefighter Robert Linhart was arrested outside the building for stalking.
Madonna?s daughter, Lourdes, attends the prestigious LaGuardia High School of Music & Arts on the UWS (Amsterdam & 65th).
