Residence #47BC in Trump International is an exceptional condominium that could be yours for a cool $27.5 million. That’s a 20% markdown from its April ask of $34.5 million and an astounding 31.5% discount from its 2016 debut of $40 million. The buyer purchased the home in 2008, but judging by the succession of price cuts, this resident wants out immediately.

Putting all political predispositions aside, one must admit this high-floor perch is truly magnificent. The marketing materials trump-ets the unit as one of the largest units the building and an “unrivaled level of quality and workmanship” is evident throughout. The 6-bedroom layout sprawls roughly 6,063 square feet and is perched on the 47th floor of the 52-story tower. Living up to its address of One Central Park West, it has 80-feet of glorious Central Park exposures plus two others facing the Midtown skyline and the Hudson River.
Supposedly, the attention to detail in every room is “too broad to thoroughly catalogue.” But highlights include four distinct types of marble flooring: Nero Marquina, Rosso Alicante, Crema Valencia & White Staturio; custom-built artisanal millwork in every room, gold-leaf gilding, and EIGHT walk-in closets/dressing rooms. Now let’s take a quick tour of this sky palace:

The master bedroom (opening photo) is positioned in the home's southeast corner and is graced by both city and park views. The sanctuary boasts custom ceiling molding and lighting. The home's 5 other bedrooms share its masterful craftsmanship and gracious proportions.
