Big Ticket | At $30 Million, It’s All About the Views

Josh Haner/The New York TimesA bidding war ensued for a five-bedroom unit at the Time Warner Center.

A vista-infused apartment near the peak of the south tower at the Time Warner Center with unencumbered Central Park views to the east and Hudson River scenes to the west sold for $30 million after a brief bidding war and was the most expensive sale of the week, according to city records.

The monthly carrying costs for the nine-room condominium at 25 Columbus Circle are $14,665.

Originally listed for $40 million near the end of 2012, the 4,485-square-foot residence, No. 64CE, had recently attracted multiple suitors drawn by its location, its bird’s-eye perspectives on the city, and a significant reduction in the asking price to $29.975 million. The complex, designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, opened in 2004 and is popular with pied-à-terre buyers because of its many fine dining and shopping options as well as proximity to Lincoln Center.

With a sophisticated interior design theme by Tony Ingrao, the unit is entered through a gallery with lacquered millwork above marble-trimmed floors with pale onyx insets. There are custom crown moldings throughout the five-bedroom, six-bath apartment, which also has two powder rooms, Macassar ebony door panels and upholstered walls.

The oversize living/dining room is 41 feet long and has a wet bar and entertainment center; the space faces directly onto the park, as does the serene master bedroom suite.

The eat-in kitchen has double ovens and refrigerators, and there is a kitchenette at the western end of the apartment adjacent to the den/media room.

Daniela Kunen of Douglas Elliman Real Estate represented the seller, a limited liability company, MTC Holdings, with an address in San Antonio, Tex. The buyers are the Israeli entrepreneur Noam Stern Perry and Michal Stern Perry; the identity of the buyers’ broker was not made available.

“Every inch of the apartment is in mint condition with decorative accents like the onyx floors in the galleries and those spectacular unobstructed views from every window,” Ms. Kunen said.

“It is essentially a floor-through, and runs the full east-west length of the tower, which is why it provides those head-on views of Central Park and the Hudson and Columbus Circle, too,” she added. “At night, the interior lighting is so beautifully designed that the whole apartment seems to glow.”

Big Ticket includes closed sales from the previous week, ending Wednesday.
