For $8M, a proper Park Avenue penthouse with an artistic pedigree

By Michelle Cohen

Among the many coveted residences of the Upper East Side, 535 Park Avenue was among the first Park Avenue cooperatives built by the original shareholders. Asking $7.95 million, the building's highest home was designed to be the residence and studio of society portraitist Lydia Field Emmet. Enhanced by a spare-no-expense renovation, the two-bedroom home's pre-war architecture and expansive terrace overlooking Park Avenue remain peerless in the 21st century.

Few disagree that it's the people who bring color to New York City's vibrant neighborhoods. We know the stories of an artist-populated Soho of yore, and the Artist-In-Residence "loft law" that helped make it possible. The neighborhood's affordable-to-artists days are long gone (along with the apartment's AIR designation), but we remain charmed by its lofts, for their proportions, and a fantasy of their past.

Paul Newman’s Fifth Avenue co-op sells for $4M above asking price

By Aaron Ginsburg

A Fifth Avenue co-op once owned by Hollywood legends Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward just sold for 40 percent above its asking price following a bidding war. As first reported by the Wall Street Journal, the classic six at 1120 Fifth Avenue sold for roughly $14 million after it was listed for $9,950,000 in December. More than 50 prospective buyers toured the home, resulting in nearly a dozen offers, including one above $14 million that the Newman family declined because the buyer intended to use it as a pied-a-terre—something the co-op board was unlikely to approve.
