This beautiful piece of real estate may be totally gutted, but look at all that potential! For just $19.9 million you can make this 10,000-square-foot penthouse at 15 Park Row your own. Located on the 26th and 27th floors of the building, the space includes not one, but two three-story cupolas. Your friends and neighbors with just one cupola will be so jealous!
Then one day when you get married you can make his and hers cupolas and the NY Times will write a trend piece on how couples like to have their own living spaces and your cupolas will become a symbol of the changing face of marriage. You're so on trend! But also maybe you just hate your spouse?
Eventually, the cupolas you each decorated and made your own will become the only part of your penthouse that you ever use anymore. You'll hole up there, become a recluse, pay a local neighborhood kid to bring up your newspapers and favorite candies. You'll grow old there, alone, and one day you'll gaze upon the other cupola—it looks farther away than it used to. "I wonder if he's still alive," you'll wonder after you notice the lights haven't flicked on for weeks.
If this kind of future sounds good to you, then contact broker Adam Modlin of the Modlin Group.
