The apartment has 3,629 square feet of interior space, with five bedrooms, five and a half baths, a chef’s kitchen with a breakfast room and a 26-by-19-foot great room. It also has two landscaped terraces, totaling 1,178 square feet, that provide panoramic vistas of the Hudson River and the cityscape.
The larger, west-facing terrace is the one that offers views of the river. It is reached through the great room and the enormous master suite, which includes a study, a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a deep soaking tub, radiant heated floors and a shower stall surrounded by custom slabs of white Alabama marble. The residence also has a private elevator landing.
The 150 Charles building offers residents a number of other amenities, including private green space, a 75-foot lap pool, a fitness center, a lounge and a children’s playroom.
The week’s runner-up sale, at $12,600,000, according to city records, is a full-floor penthouse at 230 Central Park South, a prewar condop building known as Southmoor House, overlooking the park near Columbus Circle.
