A 95th Floor Penthouse Tops This Week’s Most Expensive New Listings

We know billionaires aren’t usually folks who like to settle for second-best. But in the case of New York City’s newest skyscraper, sitting one floor beneath the top isn’t all that bad. The 96th floor of 432 Park Ave. is already spoken for, but the luxury building’s 95th floor made its way onto the market this week.

Listed for $82 million, and this week’s most expensive new listing on realtor.com®, the full-floor residence is the height of decadent domiciles—it’s just not the highest. Outfitted with six bedrooms, jaw-dropping city views, and a … wood-burning fireplace. This calls for an in-depth investigation into the ventilation system in this massive Midtown building!

After throwing another exquisite log on the fire in your 95th floor library, perhaps you’d like to peruse the other homes in our survey of the week’s priciest properties.

There’s an art collector’s dream in Atlanta, a couple of cool Malibu mansions, and an oceanfront oasis in Palm Beach that’s also available as a monthly rental. That is … if you have $120,000 in rent money every month.

For a full look at what multimillions can buy you this week, simply scroll down…

1. 432 Park Ave Apt 95, New York, NY

Price: $82,000,000
Luxe factor: The floor below the floor. We’ll call it the penultimate penthouse in the city’s tallest building. There’s no more room at the top—the deal for the 96th floor closed in September for $87.7 million, after initially listing for $95 million.

So if you can bear the thought of having an upstairs neighbor, please meet the 95th floor of 432 Park Ave. One floor below the tippy-top, this six-bedroom penthouse dwelling offers over 8,200 square feet of living space, spanning the entire floor. At just a skosh under $10,000 per square foot, this luxe unit is a regal runner-up.

2. Undisclosed address, Atlanta, GA

Price: $48,000,000
Luxe factor: The Southern belle known as Chestnut Hall bounced back onto the market this week. We covered the home as the most expensive home in Georgia back in March 2015. Last year, the home was being offered with everything inside included—which meant a buyer would acquire a massive and valuable art collection along with the estate. For buyers with an eye for curation, this museum-quality estate is worth another look.

3. 27465 Winding Way, Malibu, CA

Price: $32,995,000
Luxe factor: It’s the first time on the market for this Italian-inspired villa. Owned by Stephen Berman, the CEO of toy company JAKKS Pacific, the private estate sits on a 4-acre plot of land overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Although the eight-bedroom home isn’t on the beach, a buyer can float in its awesome infinity pool and see nothing but ocean below.

4. 224 S Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, FL

Price: $22,500,000
Luxe factor: This oceanfront estate slid onto the market three weeks ago as an ultraluxe rental property—at a price of $120,000 per month. But if a short-term stay isn’t enough, you could buy the entire six-bedroom spread. And if you don’t like the idea of swimming in the ocean, there are two pools (plus a cabana) on the property.

5. 23762 Malibu Rd, Malibu, CA

Price: $21,500,000
Luxe factor: Sitting right on the sands of Malibu, this 1980s five-bedroom home has its charms. However, some areas of the interior are showing their age, and the home is now marketed as having the “potential to create one of Malibu’s finest beachfront estates.” Might we see another mega Malibu flip on the horizon?
