Was Sold for Charity"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tBesides enviable views that span the entirety of Central Park and a 2,000-square-foot primary suite, the recent $23.8 million all-cash sale of a 28th-floor condo at the Ritz-Carlton Residences<\/a> on Central Park South in New York City<\/a> is notable in that its seller earmarked the full sale price to be donated to charity. Art-collecting energy titan and philanthropist Roger Sant acquired the sumptuous spread in 2017 for $17.6 million; the buyer is listed in property records as a Delaware-based LLC with an address in Fort Worth, Texas.<\/p>\n

\n\tInitially priced at $39 million and last listed with Carol Staab<\/a> of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty for $29 million, the 6,800-square-foot full-floor unit is one of just 12 private residences atop the storied hotel that\u2019s housed in a 1920s tower originally designed as the Hotel St. Moritz by the esteemed architect Emery Roth.<\/p>\n

\n\tAcclaimed Washington, D.C.-based interior designer Thomas Pheasant<\/a> meticulously outfitted the sprawling apartment for Sant in a serene, monochromatic manner. Smart-home technologies control the window coverings, lighting, and AV systems, while an advanced climate-control and dehumidifying system actively safeguards the artworks.<\/p>\n

\n\tThrough the private elevator vestibule and a striking 33-foot-long gallery are the grand living room and an adjoining dining room. These expansive spaces feature plush silk rugs, high-gloss honey-colored millwork, and gigantic picture windows offering unobstructed city and park views. Nearby are a more casual den and a roomy eat-in kitchen updated with beige stone countertops, sleek white cabinetry, and top-grade appliances.<\/p>\n

\n\tBehind the kitchen, three en suite guest bedrooms complete the east wing of the U-shaped residence, while the primary suite occupies the entire west wing. The sprawling sanctuary, which clocks in at about three times the size of the average Manhattan apartment<\/a>, includes a bedroom that hovers over the park, two bathrooms, and two private dressing rooms\/offices.<\/p>\n

\n\tResidents of the Ritz-Carlton pay considerable common charges\u2014in this case more than $17,000 per month\u2014for a slate of five-star creature comforts that include an attended resident-only lobby and dedicated concierge services, as well as access to the grand hotel\u2019s state-of-the-art fitness center, business services, and the La Prairie Spa.<\/p>\n
