Demi Moore
The San Remo via Douglas Elliman
During the time Demi Moore and her family lived in a triplex penthouse in the San Remo, an Emery Roth-designed masterpiece, the actress spoke highly of the building’s architecture, history, and Upper West Side address. When she listed it, she added, “This apartment is too magnificent not to be lived in full-time.” Its latest owner appears to disagree - just two years after purchasing it for $45 million, The Wall Street Journal announces that it has been listed for $50 million.
From the listing:
Sitting atop the south tower of the twin towered San Remo, this Penthouse vies as one of Manhattan's greatest trophy penthouses with its rare opulent scale, wrap-around terraces and mesmerizing views in all four directions including Central Park, the city's skyline and the Hudson River all the way to the George Washington Bridge and beyond. The dazzling penthouse comprises the top three floors of the building, 26th, 27th and 28th, with approximately 8,000 square feet of exceptional living space, +/- 1,500 square feet of unrivaled terraces and well over 50 feet of frontage on Central Park.
One enters the triplex penthouse through a private elevator vestibule and is immediately welcomed by a double height foyer and soaring, double height window with a majestic view of Central Park. The first floor comprises a magnificent 36-foot living room with tall ceilings and 3 exposures including the Park, the Onassis Reservoir and the Hudson, a welcoming library, one of the city's most beautiful dining rooms with expansive city views to the south, and a large eat-in kitchen also with 3 exposures and magnificent views, an adjacent breakfast room and laundry room.

Pritzker Prize laureate I.M. Pei’s New York residential projects include Kips Bay Towers and NYU’s Silver Towers, but his true masterpiece is a Sutton Place townhouse he and his wife Eileen purchased more than 45 years ago. In that time, he redesigned the home to his exacting standards both inside and out. His work can be seen in the spiral staircase, large oblong skylight, and fireplace mantels.
From the listing:

Light, airy, and with impeccable interior and exterior renovations designed and implemented by I.M.
