Marilynn K. Yee/The New York Times The Time Warner Center is a favorite with the pied-Ã -terre population.Perched high in the south tower of the Time Warner Center at 25 Columbus Circle, a glassy corner condominium with unobstructed northern and eastern views of Central Park and the cityscape from every room sold for $13 million, the most expensive sale of the week, according to city records.
This seven-room residence, No. 69B, sold for $12.25 million in 2008 and had bounced on and off the market since 2011. It had been listed for as much as $16.9 million, but sold quickly after its asking price was reduced by $1 million to $13.98 million. That, apparently, is the difference a million dollars makes at this juncture in an active market; though the 2,317-square-foot unit offered the option of buying the modernist furnishings along with the property, it was sold unfurnished.
The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath condo has 10-foot ceilings and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the views throughout. There is an eat-in Miele kitchen, and a master suite with a dressing room, a soaking tub and a glassed-in shower. The other bedrooms have en-suite baths. The carrying charges are $8,222 a month.
A favorite with the pied-Ã -terre population, condo ownership at Time Warner, where the amenities begin with a Whole Foods market downstairs and extend upward to a roof deck with dazzling vistas, also bestows the privilege of access to the over-the-top spa facilities at the Mandarin Oriental, its equally swank sister tower.
The seller used a limited-liability company, Kurth Columbus Circle, as did the buyer, apparently a minimalist listed in city records only as 69-B.
Caroline Holl, Wendy Sarasohn and Jamie Joseph of the Corcoran Group were the listing brokers. Deborah Grubman, also of Corcoran, represented the buyer.
Big Ticket includes closed sales from the previous week, ending Wednesday.
