A new, luxury Manhattan penthouse has recently hit the market. The stunning penthouse in the Midtown tower Place 57 is for sale at a cool $7.9 million.
In 2008, it was reported that the property was purchased by former news anchor Gayle King ââ¬â coincidentally the best friend of talk-show legend Oprah Winfrey. So, has the property been Oprahââ¬â¢s all along? We find out.
Luxury penthouse up for sale for $7.9 million
The Salem News reports that ââ¬Ëin the world of celebrity real estate, stars buy homes through trusts in LLCs [Limited Liability Companies] in an effort to cut the paper trail leading to their name.ââ¬â¢
However, it is possible to do some digging and find out who the ââ¬Ëtrueââ¬â¢ owner is.
Four years ago it was reported that Gayle King bought the 3 bedroom, 3 ý bathroom apartment in New Yorkââ¬â¢s Place 57 tower for a cool $7.1 million. However, it subsequently appeared that the home was not purchased by King, but by Winfrey herself.
The penthouse is now up for sale for $7.9 million through Mark Schoenfield of the Corcoran Group and appears to be vacant.
Talk show queen owns several homes
The Place 57 Midtown tower was completed in 2006 and condos in the building originally sold for between $1.47 million and over $7 million. Oprahââ¬â¢s penthouse is on the 36th floor and features 2,530 square feet of accommodation plus a 768 square foot terrace.
The apartment features a triangle-shaped living room, a luxury kitchen and a dining area. The master suite has three walk-in closets and a jetted tub.
If the property is owned by the talk-show queen, it is only one of several luxury homes that Winfrey owns. She also owns a plantation in Hawaii, a duplex in downtown Chicago and a large property in Montecito. In addition, the 58 year old also owns smaller homes and condos in Douglasville, GA, Franklin, TN and Elmwood Park, Il.
