Sackler-Owned Maisonette at 660 Park Avenue Up for Sale, Reveals Never-Before-Seen Floor Plan
A hidden gem in the New York real estate market, this Vanderbilt-designed apartment is finally up for grabs after 24 years.
After 24 years of secrecy, the elusive maisonette at 660 Park Avenue may finally be available for purchase. A recently unearthed floor plan has revealed the grandeur of this prewar apartment, designed for a Vanderbilt who never moved in. With 27 rooms spread across three floors, this hidden gem is one of the most remarkable apartments in all of New York.
The apartment, owned by the infamous Sackler family, boasts monumental rooms that were inspired by European manors. Despite changing hands multiple times over the years, the apartment has remained largely unchanged, adding to its allure and exclusivity in the highly competitive New York real estate market.
"The Sacklers have always been known for their impeccable taste and this apartment is a testament to that," says real estate expert and columnist for The Real Deal, Michael Stahl. "It's a rare opportunity for buyers to own a piece of New York history, with the added bonus of the Sackler name attached."
While the exact asking price has not been revealed, industry insiders expect it to be in the tens of millions. The controversial reputation of the Sackler family, known for their involvement in the opioid crisis, has also raised questions about the potential impact on the apartment's value.
Despite the controversy surrounding the Sackler name, the allure of this prestigious apartment is undeniable. With its unique history and luxurious design, it is sure to attract a high-profile and wealthy buyer.
