Big Ticket | A Marble Marvel For $9.46 Million

Marilynn K. Yee/The New York Times The historic brick building at 60 Collister Street, a former stable, houses a 9,300-square-foot marble showplace, complete with a sauna and a “quarry room” that contains a heated saltwater swimming pool.

The Marble House, the eccentric and extravagant TriBeCa triplex that embodies one man’s ode to all of the design possibilities inherent in marble, especially the Carrara variant, sold for $9,466,099.64 and was the most expensive sale of the week, according to city records.

The transaction also included a designated parkingspot, No. 7, inside the historic 15-unit brick building at 60 Collister Street/157 Hudson Street, a former stable that dates to 1866 and is now known as the American Express Carriage House.

The most recent listing price, drastically marked down from the original $24.5 million, was $14.995 million. The home had been on and off the market at ever-descending prices for a few years, returning in July at $17.5 million.

To describe the 9,300-square-foot showplace, No. 1C, as unusual would be a gross understatement. Not many Manhattan apartments can claim â€" or would admit â€" to offering a “quarry room” containing a 45-foot heated saltwater swimming pool clad in Carrara marble and, like the rest of the residence, equipped with radiant floor heating. The downstairs pool is, naturally, adjacent to a red-cedar Finlandia sauna, a 1,000-bottle wine cave, and a 12-seat screening theater.

On the top level, known as the “private” level, there are four named bedroom suites â€" the 1,000-square-foot Master, with its all-Carrara bath and imposing Palladian window, and the Striped, the Valencia and the Bardiglio â€" as well as an office/music room, a laundry room and a room identified in the floor plan as “the trunk room.”

The four-bedroom, five-and-one-half-bath apartment is entered through a 400-pound door leading to a 60-foot grand hall lighted by Murano glass chandeliers. The chef’s kitchen has 50 linear feet of counter space â€" marble, of course, like the two-ton sink. And the formal dining room accommodates 40. Wherever the floors aren’t marble, they are white oak arranged in a chevron pattern.

The buyer of this 80-foot-wide home,the designer and occasional producer Stuart Parr (“8 Mile” and “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”), personally selected the slabs of Italian marble displayed in the home: Striato Olimpico and Crema Valencia figure prominently. Mr. Parr also owns the Stuart Parr Gallery on Vestry Street and, according to his biography, is working on a film that pays homage to Frank Lloyd Wright.

VE Equities bought the building out of foreclosure in 2011 and has since sold all 15 units. Justin Ehrlich, a partner in VE Equities, confirmed the sale to Mr. Parr. A notable newcomer to the building, as reported by the real estate Web site The Real Deal and confirmed by city records, is a top agent from Douglas Elliman Real Estate, Raphael De Niro, who bought a $3.5 million corner loft there last summer.
