232 West 15th Street, the top townhouse contract (Douglas Elliman)
The top townhouse contract from December 12-18, 2022 was signed for 232 West 15th Street, which has also been known as "the Pool House" for one of its most memorable features, a dramatic saltwater pool at the garden level. Owner Evelyn McMurray Van-Zeller inherited the house from her brother following his death in 1995. It has been on and off the market since 2008; in that time, some of the antiquities and medieval weaponry have been removed and it has gone from brokerage to brokerage with the price fluctuating. It ultimately entered contract with an asking price of $9,750,000, or $1.295 million below the original asking price of $10,995,000. The buyer has not been identified.
On the apartment side, cooperatives have experienced a drop in popularity in recent months, but the penthouse in a Park Avenue cooperative took the top contract of the past week: #PHAB, the triplex penthouse at the top of 605 Park Avenue entered contract with a $15,000,000 ask.
The Park Avenue penthouse's price represents a $2,500,000 reduction from when it was originally listed in September 2022, but it was nevertheless the top contract by far. The next highest was for the penthouse at 77 White Street, which was asking $9,995,000. The residential incarnation is the latest chapter for the Tribeca building, which was went up as a commercial building in 1888 and, decades later, served as The Mudd Club, an underground music venue that attracted the likes of David Byrne, Lou Reed, the B-52s, David Bowie, Madonna, Andy Warhol, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
