A serene Classic 7 condominium at the Mayfair at 610 Park Avenue that brims with light, thanks to generous northern, southern and eastern exposures, sold for $10.165 million and was the most expensive sale of the week, according to city records.
The building, at 65th Street, is a 1925 James E. R. Carpenter gem formerly known as the Mayfair Regent Hotel. The 3,195-square-foot unit, No. 10E, had a $10.99 million asking price, and has $7,462 in monthly carrying costs.
The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence, decorated by Thomas Britt, is entered through a formal gallery. There is a windowed eat-in kitchen with an adjacent laundry and a staff suite. According to the listing, the layout mirrors Mr. Carpenterâs penchant for âa strict functional separation of areas for reception, private life and service.â
One bedroom has been converted into a lacquered library; the corner master suite, with a marble bath, has cityscape views to the north and Central Park views to the west.
Rana Williams of Keller Williams Realty represented the anonymous seller, a Delaware company, Hemlock Holdings International. The buyer used the 610 Park Avenue Trust, with Clive D. Bode, a Fort Worth lawyer, as trustee. A partner at the Bass Companies, Mr. Bode is an adviser to the Bass family, long associated with oil and wealth in Texas. Eva Mohr and Serena Boardman of Sothebyâs International Realty brought the buyer.
The weekâs second-priciest sale, at $9.851 million, and two units tied for third at $9.418 million each, emerged from the crush of full-price closings at Walker Tower at 212 West 18th Street in Chelsea, the 1929 Ralph Walker Art Deco building that has attracted investors like Cameron Diaz, Katie Holmes and Harrison Ford since its conversion into 47 luxury condos.
A 3,022-square-foot unit with three bedrooms, three and a half baths and an 840-square-foot terrace, No. 10A sold for $9,851,568.75; the monthly carrying costs are $6,762.69. The buyers were Michael Thorne, a record producer whose distant past includes signing the Sex Pistols, and his wife, Leila Shakkour. A two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath unit with a terrace, No. 14A, sold for $9,418,812.50 to a limited-liability company, Walker 011, and a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath unit, No. 11A, sold for the same price to Walker 11A, another limited-liability company.
The transactions were handled by Walker Towerâs director of sales, Vickey Barron of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, on behalf of the developers, the JDS Development Group and the Property Markets Group. Ms. Barron disclosed that Walker had just one property not yet spoken for, the $47.5 million PH2. âWeâre down to the finish line,â she said.
Big Ticket includes closed sales from the previous week, ending Wednesday.
