According to Joshua Judge, the broker at Sotheby\u2019s International Realty repping this listing, the sprawling residence is \u201cjust too much space\u201d for a couple rarely in town.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo his partner retired, and they\u2019re spending more time in LA,\u201d Judge told\u00a0The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re also purchasing other real estate in other countries as well. They\u2019re figuring out what the New York move is. But it\u2019s just too much space. The reality is just too much space for them who are never here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The apartment was originally configured as a four-bedroom but was converted to a three-bedroom to maximize living space.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The conversion, Judge said, \u201cleads to oversize living, which includes a huge, sprawling great room now,\u201d adding \u201cthere is a massive amount of outdoor space.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside, the property delivers on every front.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chef\u2019s kitchen was fully reimagined by NY Loft and features a suite of high-end appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Wolf double ovens, a Bosch dishwasher and a Miele induction cooktop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the terraces even includes an Everdure 4K Electric Grill by celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal.<\/p>\n

Beyond the kitchen, the interiors are anchored by handcrafted details and dramatic proportions: think 8-foot oak doors, tilt-and-turn windows framing protected skyline views, hand-laid oak floors, radiant-heated marble bathroom floors and a fireplace that grounds the expansive great room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The primary suite is gallery-like in layout, featuring dual walk-in closets and a bathroom clad in chevron-patterned Black Zeus marble with a soaking tub and steam shower.<\/p>\n
But location and pedigree may be the real headliners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The penthouse crowns Stella Tower, a 1927 structure designed by legendary architect Ralph Walker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Originally home to the New York Telephone Company, the building was restored by JDS Development and now functions as a white-glove condominium complete with a 24-hour attended lobby, a fitness center, a residents\u2019 lounge, a landscaped garden and bike storage.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has protected city views in every direction because it\u2019s all part of Clinton Historic District and it\u2019s the tallest building in the area,\u201d Judge said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s a landmark \u2014 it towers over all the other buildings in the area. It is the sister building to the Walker Tower,\u201d he added of the highly acclaimed Ralph Walker-tower on West 18th Street whose A-list residents include Cameron Diaz.<\/p>\n
The Art Deco building, a 1927 Ralph Walker design and sister to Chelsea\u2019s Walker Tower, has housed a string of high-profile residents including Trevor Noah, Stephen Schwartz and Jerry Mitchell. \u201d Nathan Patrick Media for Sotheby\u00e2s International Realty<\/p>\n
Its artistic and cultural cachet is matched by the building\u2019s clientele.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe other penthouse next door was \u2026 sold by Trevor Noah<\/a>,\u201d said Judge, referencing the comedian and former host of The Daily Show who sold his home there in 2023.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s kind of like a destination building for the area,\u201d Judge added.<\/p>\n
Judge is co-listing the property with colleagues, Chris Poore, Matthew Anderson, and Sam Sitinas of Sotheby\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As CBS News undergoes a seismic editorial shift, one of its top executives is quietly preparing for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2385,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2997,1871,2998,68,2999,3000,3001,3002,1023,75,360,3003,3004,9,56,63,65,64,3005,1024,2453,1491,3006],"class_list":["post-2384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-bari-weiss","tag-cbs","tag-cbs-news","tag-exclusive","tag-historic-buildings","tag-landmarks","tag-luxe-listings","tag-luxe-living","tag-luxury-real-estate","tag-manhattan","tag-midtown","tag-midtown-west","tag-modern-luxury","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-paramount","tag-penthouse","tag-penthouses","tag-real-estate","tag-residential-real-estate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
