The Metropolitan Museum of Art is trading a pair of townhouses on the Upper East Side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The museum snagged an inked deal for the two homes on East 82nd Street last asking $28 million, according to Olshan Realty\u2019s weekly report. The duo were the priciest of 25 Manhattan properties asking $4 million or more to find buyers last week, down from 29 in the previous period<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The buyer signed a contract just 16 days after the homes, Nos. 6-8, hit the market. The buyer won a bidding war and agreed to pay above the asking price for the properties, which the buyer plans to convert into one single-family residence. The combined townhouse would stretch 41 feet wide and span 12,600 square feet.<\/p>\n

The Met has owned the Gilded Age mansions for nearly 50 years. No. 8 also once belonged to George Schaefer, a brewing mogul who purchased it in 1890. The Schaefer family began producing beer in Brooklyn in the 1840s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Corcoran\u2019s Carrie Chiang and Andres Perea-Garzon had the listing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second most expensive home to enter contract was a condo at JDS Development and Property Markets Group\u2019s 111 West 57th Street<\/a>. Unit 54 last asked $21 million, down from the just under $27 million the developers sought when the building began marketing off floor plans<\/a> nine years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The apartment spans 4,200 square feet and has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It also features 14-foot ceilings and views of Central Park. Amenities in the supertall include a fitness center, pool, terrace and private dining room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Billionaires\u2019 Row tower has notched<\/a> 49 closed sales out of 60 units for an average of $4,500 per square foot. Unit 54 is the 12th condo in the building to land among the top two contracts in weekly reports so far this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Nikki Field Team with Sotheby\u2019s International had the listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of the 25 properties, 16 were condos, six were co-ops and three were townhouses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The homes\u2019 combined asking price was $217 million, for an average price of $8.7 million and a median of $6.5 million. The typical home spent more than a year and a half on the market and was discounted 9 percent from the original listing price.<\/p>\n
