A penthouse with a four-story, stainless-steel slide was the priciest Manhattan home to snag a buyer last week.<\/p>\n

The apartment at 150 Nassau Street, asking $20 million, was one of 36 properties in the borough asking $4 million or more to nab inked deals between June 1 and June 7, according to Olshan Realty\u2019s weekly report. The total was up from the previous period<\/a>, when 32 luxury homes entered contract.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Craig and Kristen Nevill-Manning purchased the 6,400-square-foot quadplex in 2007 for $6.45 million and later renovated it into a \u201csophisticated fun house,\u201d their interior designer, Ghislaine Vi\u00f1as, told the Wall Street Journal. The apartment, dubbed Sky House, was anointed \u201cBest Apartment of the Decade\u201d by Interior Magazine in 2015.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The condo, which has four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, hit the market in March. It features multiple terraces totaling 1,200 square feet and a gym. The couple, who both formerly worked as technology executives, also outfitted the home with a rope swing and a rock climbing column.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amenities in the building, known as the American Tract Society, include doormen, a gym and parking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Compass\u2019 Nick Gavin, Ugo Russino and Allie Fraza had the listing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The deal for the penthouse comes as Manhattan\u2019s trophy market has been on a hot streak<\/a>. Over the last nearly three months, buyers have signed contracts for an average of 34 luxury homes a week, almost a quarter of which were for homes asking $10 million or above.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second most expensive property to find a buyer last week was a duplex at 45 East 22nd Street, with an asking price of $16.5 million. The 5,900-square-foot condo, which last traded for $14.5 million in 2023, hit the market in April.<\/p>\n

Unit 52\/53B has four bedrooms and four full bathrooms. It also features views of the Hudson River, a private elevator landing and an open kitchen. The pending deal for the apartment also includes a parking space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amenities in the building, known as Madison Square Park Tower<\/a> and developed by Bruce Eichner\u2019s Continuum Company, include a fitness center, a half basketball court and private dining room.<\/p>\n

Compass\u2019 Scott Hustis, Mark Jovanovic and David Son had the listing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of the 36 properties to land inked deals last week, 21 were condos, nine were co-ops, one was a condop and five were townhouses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The properties were priced at a combined $266 million, which works out to an average of $7.4 million and a median of $5.6 million. The typical home was on the market for more than a year and was discounted by 4 percent.<\/p>\n
