But the 16-room home at 4 East 66th Street has actually sold over ask for $52 million, making it this year’s biggest co-op sale and the seventh biggest co-op sale to date. It’s also the first time this pre-war building has cracked the top-ten list. The couple bought the home in 2007 from hotelier Robert H.

The 7,500-square-foot residence offers Central Park views from all the main entertaining spaces. Ceilings are 12+ feet high, and giant, single-pane windows let in plenty of light. A private landing opens to a grand gallery, which leads into the drawing room and paneled library. This space spans almost 50 feet along Fifth Avenue and has two wood-burning fireplaces.
