Gen. Colin Powell Sells His .8M Upper West Side Condo

Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has decamped from one of his Upper West Side condos, which recently sold for $2.8 million, according to a Luxury Listings report.

Listing agents David Waggenheim and Cynthia Besteman of Halstead Properties are being so tight-lipped about the sale you’d think national security were at stake.

However, public records say that the sold apartment was owned by the Alma J. Powell Revoc Trust—Alma is Powell’s wife—and purchased in 2007 for $1.88 million. After a total renovation, the two-bedroom prewar unit featured a chef’s kitchen with marble and walnut countertops. The sale closed for $2,815,000 on May 12.

Records also show that the couple owns another apartment in the same building under the name of Colin L. Powell Revoc Trust. The couple also owns a residence in Washington, DC, which makes perfect sense given Powell’s former job.

Powell, a four-star general, served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff before becoming the 65th U.S. secretary of state, serving under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005.
